As long as you're aware that this is NOT a laptop with a typical operating system (Windows of Mac OS), and you know what you're getting into with Chrome OS, you will probably appreciate the subtleties of this thing. It is essentially just a chrome browser (including extensions and chrome apps) with a built in screen, touchpad and keyboard which is all I wanted.I bought this totally just to have at work so I could be more mobile around the office, take better notes during  meetings and things like that. For the most part, I only use Gmail, Calendar, Drive and Chrome, while I'm working which meant that a Chromebook was a really good choice for me.I did a lot of research before choosing this one and what had me sold were the features that this model offered combined with the fact that it was less expensive than most of the other options.Pros:- 4 GB of RAM (most Chromebooks at this price point have 2GB)- Full size HDMI out- Textured casing looks and feels durable and doesn't show finger prints (includes a built in handle which I use more than I expected to)- Decent webcam that can rotate 180°- Great touchpad and keyboard- Battery life is way most other gadgets and it charges quickly- Incredibly easy to use- It has offline capabilities (for things like Docs and Sheets)- Solid Wi-Fi connectionCons- The screen is not up to par with the rest of machine. It's matte and looks like something you'd see on a laptop from 10+ years. It's not very sharp and kind white washy. It's not the worst screen ever though, especially within the context of what you're getting. It's an reasonable sacrifice that probably helped keep the price down so I'm fine with it.- Needs Wi-Fi connection for the majority of its functionality.Tl;DR
