Bought this Chromebook to replace a dead laptop.  After having it for a month, so far so good. Set up was very easy, gaining access to the internet via WIFI was quick and using the installed software took some getting used to, but is simple to use.  Battery life is pretty good, can watch a 3 hour movie and still have more than 75% battery life remaining. Be sure to get the mini SD card for extra storage space or use a portable hard drive/thumb drive to save your work when using the office/business applications.
