Had purchased the Samsung Chrome Book 2 as a gift for my father and he absolutely loves it. It's compact size allows for impressive battery life and provides all the "necessities" he was looking for when traveling abroad.There was a slight learning curve with Windows 8 but he has surprisingly become familiar with it more quickly then I thought he would.So why didn't I rate this a 5-star? Storage capacity and processor performance. The low integrated storage and "cloud" storage Samsung includes simply isn't ample enough for most users. If you do not have easy access to WiFi, you will become frustrated. The celeron  processor is decent but if your a business professional, you will certainly be looking for a more responsive portable chrome book.Final thoughts.... If you plan to use this for personal use then the price/portability can't be beat. If you plan to utilize this for work related applications outside of email, you may want to look at other options.Hope this helps!
