It is so durable, fast, and lightweight. The charge holds for very long and you can always check how much longer the battery will last letting me gauge how long I have on impromptu study/work outings. During a trip, my charging cord was damaged and I was able to acquire a new one for $7 through Amazon (shipping took 2 weeks, more expensive ones arrive sooner). Even buying one in store would have only run me $30.Chrome OS is such a dream. The automatic update reminders, quick updating, and ability to run so many pages, tabs, and applications at once makes it a great system for someone with ADHD in particular. I am able to keep tabs an pages open for my multitude of projects without losing operation speed.How it could be improved:-free/one-time cost, video application. I attempted to use my chromebook to videotape lectures a year ago, and while the easy flip camera was fantastically placed for it, the lack of a proper and affordable application made the point moot.-compatible with external CD/DVD-rom
