This lightweight Chrome Book 2 boots in just seconds and has great battery life. The longer battery life  equates to a cooler running unit using lower voltages to operate. One of the biggest issues that we've battled in the past with laptops is cooling, one had to be really careful as to not block a vent or set one on a blanket. This unit has a sealed exterior excluding the ports.This unit is great for school work and the Google Docs can be linked with your child's Google docs at school. Runs all Chrome extensions and can link with Chromecast and Galaxy phones. I'm a big fan of Samsung smart phones and if your in the market for a Chromebook it is a wise choice to spend a few more dollars and get out of the Acer product line.Cons: Not the highest end of screens but for the money a lot of bang for the buck.
