I bought this for my kids after three school loaners broke during the year -- certain keys would stop functioning.  Our experience with school loaners was consistent with that of other families; many if not most of the school HP Chromebooks were defective.  I thought perhaps the school had just purchased very cheap, low quality ones.  So . . .I decided to buy this Chromebook for my kids.  Five months later, about a quarter of the keys have stopped functioning.I've owned HP in the past, and I am typing this review on an old HP Chromebook that continues to work well.  But from stories related to me and my own experience, it seems that the newer stuff they've put out in the past 2-3 years is absolute rubbish.
