It is fast.  It is incredibly thin.  The build quality is fantastic.  The finish is great.  This is a great Chromebook.  It is a pleasure to use.  If I could complain about anything, it would be the dearth of USB ports and the tiny (and what may end up being fragile) charging port/plug.  It is very small and I am afraid I will break it every time I plug it into the Chromebook.  I have not had any problems it just looks so fragile.
