Review on Lenovo 80SF0001US Chromebook Celeron Chrome by Tai Wiest

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Small, light and damn cheap

**Important Edit** Why do they already put completely different computers pre-installed on the product page? Presumably to make it look more authoritative than the computer currently listed. Please understand that the following review reflects only the Lenovo N22 Model 80SF Chromebook and this computer. **Overview** This is exactly what I paid for. All I needed was a small, light, and relatively cheap laptop that would allow me to take notes in class, and that's exactly what I got. I read a review about them not turning on or something and of course I was a bit worried but went for it anyway (if something goes wrong there's always a refund). I also got concerned when it didn't actually turn on after unboxing and hitting the power button. However, I plugged it in, and you know what? He tuned in. So I guess the first time just needs a little nudge, I don't know. The keyboard is a little smaller than I'm used to so it will take a while but the computer itself is great. The design is simple and clean, I personally prefer black because white computers get dirty and look gross (Looking at you, Mac). It's not a touchscreen, but it does have a stylus of sorts on it. Closing it creates a discernible gap between the screen's joints. When you pull it, the laptop turns into a briefcase. It's actually pretty fun, but if you find it useful then all the power is yours. If you really need a laptop that can do a ton of things, this probably isn't for you. Chrome OS is built specifically to run Google apps. It runs Netflix and other browser-based programs, but I don't think Chromebooks are made for external apps. Overall, as long as you understand this, these are really great computers and I highly recommend them for running lightly loaded computers (Google Docs, Netflix, Revain, etc.).

Pros
