This is great little chromebook. It's fast, super easy to use, light weight, the price is great and looks great. The only reasons it didn't get 5 starts is because the color is a little dull compared to my other screens (there may be a setting I can adjust that I'm unaware of) and the apps stay true to a phone dimension which I thought was odd. But even that is an easy solve by just going to the website rather than using the app. Overall it was a great purchase, and I've very happy with it

We bought it for the pricing, thinking $200 should be sufficient cost-of-tech for a kindergartener. My daughter loved it - big screen, allowed [Android] Apps that she was familiar with like PBS Kids Shows/Games, battery life was pretty good getting her through most of the day, and we really liked that we were able to monitor and authorize all her activity remotely. But then she actually started kindergarten remote learning... Google Meet kept freezing and she wasn't able to Mute/Unmute consistently. The integration of Google managed school account was nice, along with all the tools, but our daughter was struggling because the laptop made it frustrating to interact with the class. We got the Best Buy service contract (because we figured she might break it the first year) so we brought it to Geek Squad and they told us there really wasn't anything to be done - the processor was just too slow. I'm giving it 2 stars because honestly we liked the product for the price point. I'm sure there are some people who may be able to use it without all the need of Google Meet, Zoom, etc.

This is working great for my kids cyber schools. They are able to access and do everything that has been asked of them. This is so much better than the iPad that they would have been assigned from school. It's pretty simple to use. Battery lasts all day (but we keep them plugged in.) I'm glad we didn't go with touchscreen. The kids are learning to type and I couldn't be happier.
