I bought this computer to compliment my MacBook Pro.  My school uses Chromebooks as a 1 to 1 device for students.  I wanted to "share" in the Chromebook experience, and no this device is no wear near my MacBook Pro.  Instead I find myself using this at times more than my MacBook Pro.  It is a very handy Chromebook device.  I find the battery life lasts all day.  The touch screen is handy and I have even used it in Tablet mode, although I find Tablet mode difficult to use for all devices like this.  If you are looking for a Chromebook this is a great buy, for the money and is a great Chromebook.
