I bought this Chromebook for the fact that I needed something lightweight, yet be able to get the job done when I'm on campus. And that's just what it is.I am very happy with it because while it does not have the resolution as a Macbook would, I am able to do all my work and still listen to music on Pandora without a hassle. While you can't really do much without Internet, you can save your work to the actual hard drive of the computer, and work on it on the go.So in conclusion, if you want amazing resolution and a ton of software for editing and whatnot, then splurge on a Macbook. But if you just need something light, cheap, and gets your school work done, then this is the laptop for you.
