Before I bought this I was carrying around a full size 15" laptop that weighed around 8 lbs.  I travel a lot, and that got real heavy real fast.  I tried a tablet for a bit, but not having a physical keyboard, plus having to prop up the tablet on its kickstand got really old.  This weighs just over 2 lbs and does 99% of what i need it to.  I've always had android phones, so I thought I'd try the Chromebook.Pros:Light weight.Battery life 8-10 hours.Low Price.Easy setup.  Log onto my google account and then download whatever apps i want from google play.HDMI out so I can connect to hotel TVs and watch movies/youtube on a bigger screen.USB-C charging- works with ANY power level.  It will even charge (slowly) from a low power 2A phone charger.Seems to be quite durable.  I've carried it around for the past 8 months and even dropped it a couple times.It folds to any angle and even 180 degrees so you can fool the flight attendants into thinking it's a tablet and not have to put it away when they announce for everyone to stow their laptops.Yes it's a touchscreen, but i hate fingerprints so i don't use it unless in tablet mode.Cons:Keyboard is not backlit.Reboots itself occasionally but I haven't lost any data, and it will ask if you want it to restore apps you had open.  The Kindle app seems to be the most problematic on this platform.No Caps Lock Key.  There is a workaround, not a huge deal.  But there are Ctrl and Alt keys on both sides of the space bar.  One of those could have been Caps Lock.That's about all.  I would fully recommend to anyone.
