This is the first chromebook I have bought so keep that in mind. I decided to switch from PC laptops to a chromebook because I only use my computer for browsing, emailing and research so I only need a basic machine. Previous to this purchase I had a couple Acer laptops that did the job but were pretty slow. This machine is slower than those laptops. Simple things like accessing gmail and google drive take a frustratingly long time. I regret this purchase.
