Very impressive! Best Laptop

This is my first Chromebook. I am a lawyer and actually bought this for a specific legal case that involved a lot of very long trips. It's MUCH more comfortable than my heavy laptop and I don't feel much of a difference. Lighter, more impact resistant, no fan or spinning hard drive to crack, and no heat dissipation issues. It only has 20GB of storage. For most this is not a problem as they are designed to work from Google Drive or other cloud storage. But important things don't fit in there, so I put a 512GB SD card in it. As I wrote in the answer, it was "hilarious overkill" but it served the purpose and removed any fear of filling it out before the trial. once. No more fiddling with moves when my laptop is too awkward to set up (or not with me). This thing loads in less than 2 seconds and I'm out. The 10 hour battery life means I charge it at night and that's it, unless I'm actually on the go and therefore use it all day (rather than my desktop or laptop). The only limitations are inherent to Android apps. Adobe does not support legible presentation of the text of documents, and MS Word also has fewer features. This is normal, this is basically what I can do from my office computer during the "buffing" step. This gets me to the 99% mark where I would otherwise be stuck. My wife has been watching me use it for about a week now and is already asking me if I plan on keeping it after this try. Either she wants this one or the same one. I predict I'll keep this one if it lasts. Admittedly, I'm still a little wary of a device like this that's 1/5 the price of my phone and half the price of my tablet. But so far so good!
