An amazing achiever and far more than it might seem until you actually get one and use it. I was told that the parts quality and performance of this model greatly outranks competitors in the same price class, and now I have no doubt of it. In particular, the sound and video cards are of superb quality, not to be expected in such an inexpensive item. The keyboard is well thought out and easy to use, battery life excellent. For those tired of or not fully satisfied with Windows or IOS systems, the Linux-based Chrome OS is a breath of fresh air and quite fascinating to learn. Highly recommended. Furthermore, the Chromebook, fortunately, is on the list of machines which is scheduled to get full access to Android Apps.
