I got this computer for work. I needed something cheap and highly portable, and having used a chromebook in school I knew I wanted one. This chromebook is great for the price and needs I needed met. ChromeOS is a pretty smooth and well rounded system, and this particular laptop is sleek, thin, lightweight, and visually pleasing. It does have Linux built in, but I can't comment on that because I'm not the most tech savvy. The good thing about chromebooks is you don't really have to be.Keep in mind if you want a chromebook, most of the time the apps are meant for a phone or tablet. As far as I know, most games won't work or will be hard to play, and some apps have diminished usage because of how tapping vs. Clicking works. Not that big of a deal to me, but it could be frustrating to someone who wants a regular laptop for casual use. The touchpad on this particular one is pretty good, and large enough to use given the size of the laptop. The keys are a little thin and small so sometimes I miss them or mistype when going fast. The screen is perfectly acceptable, vibrant and it fills most of the bezel. Overall, 8/10.
