Great value for money on computers and accessories

I've been using this Chromebook for a day now. The battery life is definitely all day long, the OS is crisp and fast and the new OS version allows you to download your favorite Android apps from PlayStore. I also use it as my main business laptop as it is light weight and has a good screen size. The operating system allows you to run Linux programs by opening a Linux terminal in your applications and typing: sudo apt -get install libreoffice. This Office replacement takes about 15 minutes to download, but the replacement is very good and has good compatibility with Office. Power Cube is good too. The cable and USB-C port is very convenient as one cable now charges this device, my Windows 2in1, my wife's laptop and our phones. We have multiple power supplies, and now we have another that has enough current (at 2.4 amps) to charge and power each of our devices. Finally, the keyboard is reliable and doesn't slow me down. One annoying thing that comes with Windows is the lack of a delete key and crop tool. However, in the top row above the number 6 is a program change key that, when pressed along with CTRL and Shift, becomes a crop tool. And ALT Backspace is the delete key. This allows me to do everything I do at a fairly demanding level, all on a light and fast machine with a long battery life and a $239 price tag. Heck, Office alone costs almost that much. This is a very good solution for your home or business.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Not bad
