I am writing this based on the fact that this cost $234.  I see many reviews here complaining about the screen.  Remember what you have purchased.  This laptop is fast, light and well made.  There is even a good amount of storage for a personal computer.  Yes, the screen is not as vivid as a $1000 computer, if that is very important to you, buy a more expensive laptop.  For those who need to use email, browse the web, stream etc. you can not go wrong with this.  There is one USB port and one USB C port.  There are inexpensive attachments if you need hdmi or more ports.  I highly recommend this chromebook.
