Pretty bad condition
USB ports were all sealed up with metal which cannot be removed, which wasn't highlighted in the description and makes it impossible to use to charge items or use any USB sticks. Buttons have been covered in noticeable labels to cover worn ones and the back which covers the USB under the hinge has popped off and cannot fit back in. Pretty bad condition.

so much so my wife now uses it for her teacher planning and finds it very easy to use
I bought this almost three years ago with the intention to use it for surfing and browsing as well as for video communication.This product has met all these requirements with ease, and as Google has improved it with various updates it can handle most Microsoft tasks, so much so my wife now uses it for her teacher planning and finds it very easy to use . All she does is plug in her flash stick and away she goes.I have used it now for most things I would use a laptop for, it's lighter, has better battery life and much more portable than anything else, also much cheaper .If you know what you are purchasing when you buy a chromebook you will be pleasantly surprised at what it can do and will not be disappointed . After three years you are looking to replace a laptop, my chromebook is a part of my life does what it says on the tin it just keeps impressing me an excellent all-round bit of kit .I have had no problems with it and if the worst happens I would buy another without any thought .

Overall amazing value. Cheap, straightforward and good enough for web most of the time.
I had difficult with this at first.The first power charger didn't work. Amazon sent a replacement which is fine.I still don't like the keyboard but it's ok.GamesThis chromebook it no use for gamesPhotosVery v limited functionalityReading photos directly from camera- NOOnline photo editing sometimes slow or freezes up.Surprisingly good capacity for keeping in photos but as I had thousands I now keep most of them in the cloud.WebFine for most sites. A little slow on some but that's to do with the site or web connection. Difficulty with sites which have loads of adverts but that was a problem on my old Windows laptop too.Doesn't like loads of tabs open but I frequently have around 50 or more (46 at the moment) and that's no different to most laptops.EmailNow slow with Yahoo email (adverts) but fine with Gmail.Word processing and spreadsheetswith free Google software is perfectly good enough for moe.Overall amazing value.

Affordable personal computer that does the job, but could be better
I got this Chromebook because it's the cheapest of them all — it certainly does the job and is pretty easy on the eye too :)Things that I like about it:— very light and easy to carry around,— the charger is small (12V with expendable socket cable, great for traveling),— looks pretty nice,— easy to hold, thanks to the hinge bulge,— pretty good performance keeping the price in mind,— pretty loud speakers (but quality is medium),— great keyboard, easy to type and nice to feel with fingers,— ChromeOS is definitely nice, personal and hassle-free operating system,— charges quickly,— starts up super fast, it's really 7-10 seconds cold start!— it's easy to attach to HDMI screen and apparently is "smart enough" to operate in expected way (expands by default, when you close the lid it works as a stationary computer),Things I don't like about it:— the bottom enclosure is weird, when laptop gets warmer it starts to expand and wobbles on touch (!),— first one had to be replaced due to a screen defect, the replacement is better, but it has a weird white pixel too (much smaller than the first one),— that said, the screen is absolute CRAP, I never seen worse screen ever, it's dim and kinda fuzzy (I come from MBA and MBP with Retina, so maybe it's just my subjective feeling), be warned,— it seems that Samsung uses different manufacturing materials in different series: first had smooth keyboard keys, replacement has rough-finish of the keys,— first one I got had "soft places", where it feelt like it's made of rubber and screen enclosure was not attached properly, like it could peel off on opening, so check your one upon arrival.In general I am happy I got this Chromebook, because it's a nice small machine (speaking about the 2nd one, replacement) and does exactly what it should. If you want to check out if ChromeOS is for you, don't look any further :)

Very efficient for use as internet browser
I am rewriting my review, initially I was very disappointed with my Chromebook as I didnt realise it would only use Google apps, features and will not import other well known apps such as Skype, iTunes. That is my fault for not researching what a Chromebook is before purchasing it. It is certainly very fast and efficient for searching the web and most apps allowed by the Chromebook OS downloaded with no problems.There is one problem that appears to affect this model as I see others have commented on it, when trying to download the Google Music Download Manager (to enable you to upload tracks and store), the system says it does not recognise the software, this is a big problem if you are being forced to use Google Music for your downloads instead of iTunes.Also, I cannot connect to my printer at home, another minus point, you have to use a Cloud Printer.I have come to terms with the fact that I have this superfast, very portable little laptop for searching the internet, checking my Gmail etc but I am resurecting my Dell laptop with a new Windows system etc as myself and my children need a Windows OS that allows us to do a wide range of things that the Chromebook doesnt.It is a good product if you fully appreciate what you are missing out on without a Windows OS, you cannot put a Windows programme on. Saying that, because there is far less on the system, it is so much quicker than Windows if you do a lot of websurfing.
