Love it. I have been using a business laptop for work but this Chromebook takes care of all the home needs. Extremely fast. 8GB of memory helps with multi-tasking. Was working on an online Word document with several tabs open and the world cup playing in the corner and didn't skip a beat. Screen is bright and responsive. Since I am using it primarily for the laptop in our study, the 15.6in screen is perfectly large enough. But...it is light enough to carry around and have in bed watching shows or to carry out the patio for working outside. I don't love touchscreens - I have an iPhone for that kind of thing - so I prefer using a mouse and the scroll pad. The scroll pad is great - enough gestures to zip around the screen, go quickly between tabs, and zoom/un-zoom when needed. Love the Gets up and going very quickly compared to a PC. The keyboard is full with a number pad so great for typing and the wrists rest perfectly on the base of the computer. Everything lives on OneDrive and Google Docs now so access to files, photos, etc. along with the use of Microsoft Online and entertainment (Netflix, social media, ...) is really all I need. HP is a trusted brand so I think it will last a while. Was able to buy on sale for 199 so I really think I got a steal. Also, Best Buy has made an incredible turnaround. Usually buy most things on Amazon but Best Buy had better service, better prices, and the in-store experience was great. Researched my computer needs for several hours (more like 10). Ran out, bought it, and had it set up in minutes. Also, have been trying to connect to my old Cannon printer for years with much agony. This Chromebook found it immediately and is printing wirelessly for the first time ever- the family is happy about that.
