I’m a college student that has used this chromebook for everything. Everyday of the week for the last year. It’s literally just a cheaper and more useful ipad. If you’re on the fence I understand. But it the battery life is amazing and so is everything else about it. I don’t know why other reviews say the battery doesn’t last very long when it clearly does. The battery for me can last upwards of two days without charge. I bought this a year ago and it remains my favorite tablet. Go ahead and do yourself a favor by getting yourself or kid one of these. You won’t regret it!
