I bought this for my wife who previously used a Win 10 laptop. Her use pattern is 99% browsing the internet and using Skype to communicate with her family in Europe. This chromebook does both very well, has excellent battery time, and is lighter than a traditional laptop. The screen is of decent size and the picture is good. Great value for the money. Get a small 128 GB SD card to go with it so you can save any files to removable storage.
