Although I'm not a big fan of laptops, even less so of chromebooks, there comes a time when you need to do some quick access or make updates to documents, etc.  This cost efficient item is just that IMO.  I'm not editing videos or any memory heavy files.  Word, Excel, surfing, email; the quick and dirty.  Battery seems to have a decent life for what I use it for, boot up time is good.  I feel I definitely got my moneys worth on this.
