My first foray into a Chromebook.  It was as expected. Quick, simple, light, BUT limited.I got this chrome book as a backup computer to do simple work tasks, that mostly involve typing into a cloud based program.  My main PC is a Dell laptop with an SSD and beefy processor, but in my home office it’s so tethered into plugs, the mouse, keyboard, speakers, monitor etc; it was becoming a bit of a pain to unhook daily.  I was looking for a light, quick-on alternative for those times where I just needed to do some quick typing.  And that’s where this chromebook excels, simple quick tasks. It’s on in a flash, quickly delivers simple functions, but as expected it lacks all the extras you may be used to in a fully functional laptop.PROS:The speed: For what you’d typically use it for, this Intel run engine is as fast as a cell phone. Open it, it’s on.  Click an ap, it’s open.  There just isn’t waiting.The Body: it’s such a perfect form factor.  It’s perfect on the lap without a table.  It’s just a joy to type on when it’s sitting in your lap.  Metal body without plastic, it has a great form factor.  The keyboard has nice soft buttons without a number pad given it’s small size.  It’s not back lit, at this price you wouldn’t expect it to be, but it’s a luxury I missed quickly.  The inputs, that’s my second biggest gripe (the first is the screen), are lacking hard.  There is ONE USB C input and that acts as the AC adapter plug.  So if this computer is plugged in, you pretty much have a standard USB and nothing else open. No HDMI out, no extra USB C’s, so any extras and you’ll be looking at a hub.  One more USB C would have been really useful in my opinion.The screen:  As you’ll see with many reviews, it’s pretty terrible.  The issue is when you’re typing on a white background, or using a mostly white app, it’s just bothersome.  It looks graney, and blue and just cheap.  It’s not crisp, and it looks like a computer that’s 10 years old.  Big fail.  HOWEVER, full video runs just fine.  It blew my mind.  It streams HD content without an issue, but MS Word looks like it’s running on a ‘93 iMac.  Very frustrating.Overall:  If you want a small, fast laptop to throw easily in your bag, this is a great Go-to.  It’s fast, small, portable.  It’s basically a cellphone with a full sized keyboard.  If you want a quality screen, a touch screen, lit keyboard, CD rom drive, multiple inputs, or basically anything youd expect from an entry level full laptop, you’re not going to find it here.  This chromebook is great, if it’s exactly what you’re looking for.Quality: BPrice: BKeyboard: CScreen: CBody: A-Overall: B-
