This is my second Chromebook, first was a Toshiba CB2 that worked well for 5 years and just developed a connection issue.  After a week of research, I decided on the Dell for a number of reasons, all of which have been true.  In reading a number of reviews and comments (Reddit) about the key pad and keyboard being anemic and the 4GB being a no go, I watched some YouTube videos by Chrome Unboxed and I felt his reviews were accurate. I have owned a number of PC's, Laptops, and a CB  starting in 1990 and the Dell has by far the best Touch Pad and Keyboard. The supplied stylus is a plus  The only issue is the battery life gauge. It showed 93% remaining but only 3 hours. This was not during any heavy draw due to multiple tabs open or videos.  Maybe it will be accurate after some use.I purchased this thru Amazon from "Bay Buy".  One of the labels had Best Buy scratched over.  The price WAS $449, which was a done deal.
