this is honestly the best chromebook that i have purchased.  this is my 4th chromebook.  these are an acquired taste.  the first chromebook i got was an acer which was over a year ago.  the next day i sent it back.  the second was an lg chromebase.  very nice computer.  issue was that it was only 1.2 gb ram.  which would have been fine if i did not listen to youtube while i was surfing the web.  there were dark pages between loads. the thing i liked about the lg chromebase was the fact that it had an hdmi in.  which came in handy since chrome doesnt quite do everything i want it to do yet.  it let me have my computer connected and used the chromebase as a monitor.  but i took it back the day after christmas because it was too slow. the 3rd was an acer chromebase.  the information on the site was horribly wrong.  the people at best buy didn't even know if the hdmi was out or in.  i received it and took it back.  those horrible chromebooks bring me to this little beast.  it costs about what a tablet would.  so i thought why not give it a try.  i bought it.  once again each site saying separate things about the specs.  youtube wasn't even good for the info i was looking for (most videos were done with handhelds and very poor lighting).  but i am very happy with my new purchase.  the end of life for this chromebook is October 2019 or longer i believe which is fantastic since i usually get a desktop every 3 years anyways.  this price is worth the sacrifices that i am willing to make waiting for this to become the awesome OS that i believe it will eventually come.  amazon also had the lowest price out of every retailer i looked at. the screen size is great.  the processor is fine.  i can stream music from amazon and youtube videos with no shuddering.  i would definitely recommend this tablet for anyone who wants just a computer.  nothing to fancy.  something just right.
