i wanted: a lightweight, portable, capable machine for work, travel, and personal computing needsmy uses: google sheets/docs (extreme), hoarding chrome tabs like they're toilet paper during a virus outbreak, youtube constantly running, messaging/emails, meetings and light mobile gamesall my work is done remotely, all through web applications and google suite. this is the perfect fit for me- no one winced when i used the built in mic in a meeting, i heard no echo back from my speakers which is amazing, because honestly heck putting on and taking off headphones every half hour.  i can pick this up and take it with me to any room- it's lighter than my ipad. it charges fast- but with my eXtremE youtube usage, it also drains fast. who cares, it gets 7 hours more battery life than my gaming laptop (which gets 1).the bad:some apps really suck on this os. my understanding is that things have been steadily improving in chrome, so i look forward to further improvements. my biggest gripe at the moment is that slack doesn't allow me to ctrl+c text, or hover over emotes to see whether my boss contributed to the "LuL" faces collected under the joke i made at his expense (seriously this is important).  both shortcomings are pretty frustrating on a surprisingly regular basis. i have to use the website which is dumb, because as i mentioned, i collect tabs basically for a living.my second gripe also has to do with the os: why does google drive suck in chrome? am i the only one copying and pasting things between sheets? am i the only one moving data from websites into docs and presentations? i feel like the only real time i'd use the app is if i'm creating a written doc with no supporting material. (or maybe google keep.) but, since my job almost never requires personal diary entries, that makes the apps useless, and the constant berating i get from the browser to use the app instead is equally annoying.big ups: keyboard, as mentioned by every reviewer with a youtube checkmark, is pretty darn sick. i type a lot and its solid as all get out.the build in general is very sturdy and quality. the whole thing reeks of "i spent my stimulus check on this chromebook", which i'm sure will win me cool points.i bought the base model, and even with my extreme tabby lifestyle i've yet to run into any processing issues, but i wish this model came in not pink. sad. very sad. very very very very very sad. two stars! just kidding, i love it anyway.....but i wish it was pink.UPDATE: been using this as my daily driver for a month, it's on 24/7. It's doing great. copypasta on large spreadsheet data does make it have a big think, but i got the M3 not the i5 so maybe that's my own fault.Gave slack direct app feedback, they told me not to use the app. GGs.Still really wishing it were pink.
