Overall: The chromebook was well-packed and brand new. But it was manufactured on Apr 2021, the battery was totally flat when I received it.

I have basically given up on using this because it is pretty slow; it is particularly slow when it first starts up. I will admit Ive mostly been at home and can use a full computer, which I prefer, so I havent used this much; particularly since it was so relatively slow. I bought this for travel, and to not care too much if it got lost, broken, or stolen (I bought it on sale for about $90).

So a few days ago I would probably have rated this as a great device for working in austere conditions. The issue is that I didn’t power it on for roughly a week and now it not only will not turn on but the charging light won’t even turn on after 10 hours on the charger. I like the Chromebook and think it’s fairly good for the price point but considering the fairly light conditions it’s faced I’d be hard pressed to recommend it.

This Chromebook met my needs in every way that I was looking for as far as being lightweight, thin, and small. I wanted something that was able to easily slip into my backpack but be pull out of the backpack really quickly when I wanted to watch movies or shows. I can put this in my backpack and barely know that its in there.Im happy to say that this works great for airline travel. It doesnt take up hardly any room in my lap on the small airplane seats, and the screen is actually about the same size as the screens on the airline that Ive been using. I can easily connect this Chromebook to my headphones, and the flight goes by really quickly when using it. One thing that doesnt go by quickly though is the battery life on this chromebook. I took two flights and used the Chromebook quite a bit, and I noticed that I still had lots of battery life left on it when thinking about how small this Chromebook is. The battery life increases or decreases in the bottom right hand corner of the screen depending on how high the brightness is, so I recommend changing that and youll see your battery life meter fluctuate. For watching movies, I felt like the screen quality was mid grade. It didnt look like it was a high definition screen, but it didnt feel like it was low grade either. As far as the keyboard, I have pretty big hands, and I feel like its somewhat easy to type on this keyboard. I wouldnt want to type on this small of a keyboard all day long, but for a few hours here and there it meets my needs. This Chromebook does not come with a case, but it does come with a charger which is a USB type-c. Keep in mind this isnt just a standard USB type-c like you would use for a cell phone, it is a USB type-c charger that is attached to a transformer.

Wouldn’t load any apps very annoying. Unfortunately it was a Christmas gift.

Great computer. User friendly!

Perfect for my needs. Lightweight, great price!

I purchased this device for my son, for college. It’s perfect for his needs. He writes papers, does research, even has several windows open at a time, with no slow down in performance.
