It arrived at my door for under $200. It boots fast. It's easy to carry. It doesn't get hot. It has a long battery life. Updates are quick, simpe, and mostly in the background. It is easy to charge with a small lightweight wall-wort with a long cord.All my life I've been looking for a lightweight, easy to use, on the go computer for writing. I have had just about every small laptop over the last 20 years. This is by far the best of all of them I've tried.My jam is to take off into the woods and write. It's what I like doing. I don't want to spend time dealing with my writing device, I want to turn it on and write, I want to turn it off and have my writing saved. I want it to check my spelling.The lack of a right mouse button or a scroll wheel will throw a lot of people at first, but if you see the charms in this little box you will be compelled to use the Googles and look up how to use a Chromebook mouse pad. It is worth learning and will simplify your life.You can install apps from Google Play, Youtube works super well, many apps will run including Microsoft Office. There are good apps and avenues to log in to a remote desktop either Linux or Windows.It isn't a gaming computer, and I wouldn't try to do heavy photoshop or other graphics on it.TLDNR; It cost less than $200, it is durable, it runs all day, it is easy to use. It is great at a lot of things. It isn't good for some things.
