I got this for basic browsing and doing some work while off site, and I have to say it’s spectacular! Light weight, but packs a punch. Runs smooth all my apps and then some, and also has a SD slot for extra memory. Definitely recommend.

I love this Chromebook! All I needed was something for streaming and sorting photos and documents. It's cheaper than a regular laptop, and holds thousands of photos and videos. I've never had any issues. The only thing I don't love is that there airways send to be an update and I have to restart.

I bought this for my son for online school. It's good so far, but it's only been about a month. Charging and battery life seems good. Sound is good. The display is nice. I haven't had many laptops, so nothing to really compare it to. Overall, I would recommend this for daily casual use.

Google set the specs for Chromebook Plus and automatically upgrades the operating system on this machine to Chromebook Plus because the hardware qualifies. Nice machine!

Before I get into the review, let me set some context. Between home and my work in IT, I've used MANY laptops over the years across Windows, Mac and Chrome (and even sometimes Linux). Everything from super gaming or programmer PCs to lightweight convertibles and netbooks. So believe me when I tell you this is a GREAT "companion" laptop to take to a coffeeshop or hang out with on the couch.
Given the specs - and that it's running ChromeOS - this isn't meant to be a super gaming PC. And that's ok - what you DO get is quite a lot. The new Core i3s (Alder Lake-N, 12th Gen) are super strong for what they are and you get 8 cores that can power through strong while SIPPING power. For some context, this chip gets benchmark scores that are slightly better than the Core i7 4790K - a top tier chip that absolutely rocked powering my high end gaming desktop until just a few years ago (and used a TON of power to do it). 8GB of memory and 128GB of storage may not seem like much but are just fine in a Chromebook where most of what you're doing is online and the OS is very lightweight. And there's plenty of space for a Linux partition and Android apps if that's your thing (and a microSD card slot for media/larger files to store locally).
The screen is bright and clear - 1080p is perfect at this size and the screen is great for videos or productivity work. You can certainly stream games if you want over a number of services or play older/emulated games locally if you want (and if your game supports ChromeOS, Android or Linux). Not having a touchscreen does make some Android apps harder to use but not terrible. Connectivity is fine with two Thunderbolt ports (one on each side) that support data, video and power. You also get the previously mentioned microSD card slot which I've tested up to 1TB without issue and a USB-A port handy for older peripherals. The keyboard has a number pad and is lovely to type on though I do wish it was backlit for late night sessions. The trackpad isn't glass but is very responsive and large.
The best thing about this laptop though is the battery life - ChromeOS and the efficient Alder Lake - N chip mean you get ASTOUNDING battery performance without even trying. I've been using this laptop (which I'm writing the review on right now) off and on for two days, probably totalling about 7-8 hours of use and I still have 34% battery which it tells me will last another nearly 4 hours. And part of that time I was powering a USB-C external monitor from the laptop, streaming a sporting event! That's what makes this a great computer to have with you whever you are. I still kept my gaming laptop for when I want to have a LOT of power on the go...but this laptop is the one I pick up more often, to browse the web, shop, even do some emails or office work (LibreOffice in Linux or Google Docs - or even Office 365 on the web if you have a subscription). I can also remotely access my desktop or any Citrix devices and use those as well - all with the great battery life of the Chromebook.
So that's a VERY long way of saying that I love using this Chromebook, and I'm better that you will too!

Great Upgrade for 15in with Num Pad.

I bought this as an upgrade to my wife's 15in Chromebook with Num Pad. Her old computer has about 1/2 in processor/ram/storage. And the new screen is much, much better. With twice of everything, performance is no longer an issue. She never complained, but when I use the old computer, it was noticeable. With it on sale it was $100 more than the Old Computer on sale. $100 more for twice about everything was no brainer. At list price I would have second thoughts. It also got the Chrome OS Plus update. Really glad I got her a much nicer computer. Right now it maybe better than her desktop.

This is a solid chromebook that meets my needs. It has a large HD screen and plenty of memory. It is well built and has some weight. It can handle multiple tabs easily and quickly. If you can catch the sale price, it is a worthwhile purchase.

This is a great laptop, it's got a fairly fast processor, great memory/storage, and overall excellent for everyday use. It includes all of the usual google apps (sheets, docs, drive, etc) and it was *much* easier to sync with my android phone than my older chromebook was. I would definitely recommend this laptop for ordinary use - it is not a gaming computer, but would work well for someone using it for personal use, or even as a WFH computer.

As the owner of an 14" 4gb/64gb HP Chromebook from a few years ago, I expected twice as much from this model. It is quick enough, has plenty of storage, a large track-pad for easy navigation, and the display is large, detailed, and vibrant. It's been three months since my purchase, so I grabbed the previous Chromebook before writing this review. It feels like a toy now. I am very pleased with my purchase and would do so again.

My Windows laptop finally died and my husband recommended a Chromebook. I use this mostly for web search, paying bills etc. The number pad was a must. This is the EASIEST laptop I've ever used! Battery life is insanely good and speed is great as well.

Very nice compact computer. It has plenty of memory and good capacity. I downloaded an office suite and can generate documents and do most of the things I can do with my home computer.
I haven't charged the battery after the intitial charge as I use this computer between sessions. It it better than an i-pad. I don't care for the touchpad mouse, si I use an older wireless mouse that works fine. The keyboard has a good feel.
Years ago this would have been a prestige computer. For the money I can't see how it could be much better.
If you purchase this unit and you are dissatisfied, you are likely unreasonable. Good product from a first-rate firm.

Overall a good product. The size and specs are good for the price. Lightweight and easy to carry around. My daughter loves that it is a touch screen, and the processing speed is good for student use. Recommend limiting downloads.
