I bought this because I wanted a lightweight laptop with killer battery life and a great keyboard. I was tempted by Mac, but these days I use Google docs / sheets so much that I prefer the Google suite to Windows on Mac. Also the reviews of the keyboard sounded a lot better than requiring a keyboard replacement programme - and the price was good. I had high expectations for this device - I had it brought from US to UK so consider that I realllly wanted this. I can say that those expectations have been met and perhaps exceeded. This is what a laptop should be. It's fast (doesn't stutter at all, no matter what), it's light and it's a joy to use in the lap (great keyboard, doesn't get warm). Sure, I have a Windows PC for work but the Chromebook suits 90%+ of my tasks. I'd happily travel with just this and if I needed to, I could do 100% of my work (regular office stuff) from it. I got the i5/8gb one as was scared to go for less, so can't comment on the entry level, but this one is simply outstanding.
