Not talking about the packing, as long as the carrier has properly handled it, it will be okay.  Otherwise no matter how strong of packing material been used, somehow will have damage.This is the first time I get a Chromebook and this one just meets my expectations and what I have expected.  Also it's very clean and looks like new.Actually I was going to get it at Walmart on that day and unfortunately they sold out for  $199 + tax. So I search the web and found this one and just placed order right away.I am having fun with it, so as my girlfriend.
