This Chromebook is a decent, portable notebook loaded with Google programs - Gmail, Youtube, Google Play, Chrome browser, Google apps and Google docs. You can easily sync with your other devices and easily navigate the setting to customize your security, preferences and other options. I have had Chromebooks from other manufacturers in the past that I liked much more - they had nicer keyboard feel and more crisp and vibrant screens (but did not last more than a year without problems). This Samsung Chromebook has a grainy screen and the keyboard action is not as smooth or quiet as it could be. The size is smaller and therefore more lightweight than other Chromebooks I've had, which are definite pluses. The case is 11 1/4" by 8", with the screen measuring 11" corner to corner, and with a  ".66 inch Slim Body" design. The lid action is odd - the back edge of the lid extends back too far so that the bottom of the computer lifts up when you open the lid. Maybe that is intentional, to slightly elevate the bottom/back of the keyboard. But for the tiny amount of lift you get, it seems that this action will put a lot of wear and tear on that hinge, grinding it on whatever hard surface you are using it on. Internet connection is fast, and the battery life is very long! I use it daily for checking email, reading news and some surfing the net, and I only need to charge it about once a week, if that (about 15 hours of use, and I do shut it down completely when I'm not using it). It also has preset tabs on the lower left screen for the easy option of setting up a guest browser and adding a second person as a regular browesr, which is a great feature and makes it very easy to share this notebook with visiting guests at home! So, overall a convenient Chromebook for access on the go and casual use, but probably not the nicest notebook available, especially if you value a high quality screen.
