    I'm currently a first year college student and this chromebook has been of very good use to me. It is very light so I carry it in my bag and the start up time is immediate. I use it mainly for school work and to listen to music and watch movies. It was also inexpensive which is a plus. Battery life is also amazing. If you're looking for something simple and efficient with a clean build, this asus chromebook is perfect.

    These little chromebooks from asus are terrific, they boot up in seconds and let you do everything that is basic on the internet wherever you go. I am writing this review on mine; I have 2, one 2GB and this one, 4GB. Asus makes a good product, I would rather have one of theirs than a Dell. Now, if you want to do more than just mail of surf the net, go with a full size laptop instead. But for me, this works really well. My 2GB model is also a touch screen, something I wish the 4GB featured, but for the price $199. I can't complain!

    Don't buy this if you want a full featured laptop. This is a Chromebook, not a Windows or Mac laptop. That being said, it's good for what it is. I wouldn't usually get a Chromebook, but my niece needed it for her school. They use those exclusively at her school. The hardware is durable, it is speedy (for the simple apps, I wouldn't game on it), and almost as feature rich as Chromebooks get. The biggest letdown is capacity. 16gb is very little, so you'll need to rely on the cloud services of Google. If you are connected everywhere you go, you'll be fine. I haven't seen Chrombooks with much higher capacity and if they have more it's still 64gb or under and much more expensive for the difference. Get this if you are a true Google Suite devotee and connected everywhere you go. Otherwise, get a Windows laptop.

    Great little device for basic computer needs. It's a mix between a table and laptop but we mainly use for internet browsing. Quick stet up and start up, easy to use and lightweight. We've purchase many different Chromebook brands at this price range and this one is our favorite because it has the least issues!

    This computer is loved in my house hold. We keep it in reach for all members in the family to use. Very light weight and fast. It is super reliable and probably my favorite computer for the price. We love it so much, that we have purchased 3 more for other members of the family. Highly recommend one.

    Great Chromebook for student use. Battery life is excellent. Graphics are standard for the price. Excellent for carrying around but need to know how to use Google services for the device to be used at its max.

    I loved having this laptop for college. It was light weight and did everything I needed to do for classes. The battery life was amazing and learning the Chrome OS takes no time at all.

    I bought this chrome book in hopes of easing up the weight in my backpack. It has done such but it is just as it says, a chromebook. It can only do so much and most of the things on the chromebook such as files purely stay online, which is hard to access without internet. This is certainly light but is not ideal to use as a laptop.

    Got this unit for my wife after she used similar laptop that our uses and liked it very much. Just the right size for sitting on your lap and doing casual work. Required some adjustments and getting used to a none Windows operating system. But after a short learning curve and getting the right apps attached to the quick start bar it is a very easy machine to use except for this one condition. 1: Being a tablet sized pc I wish I had gotten a touch screen display. Much easier to use then the touch pad. I have never liked those. I attached a usb mouse instead. Overall a very nice and responsive unit.

    A wonderful purchase for the price. Lots of bang for your buck. I love Google Drive storage and the ease of start up with this machine. 2 handy USB ports for jumpdrives that already have files you need outside of Drive. Installation of apps is speedy. Small, lightweight but definitely not flimsy.
