I will start with who I am because it could help you make your decision. I didn't go to school for anything, yet I own a very web tech related company. My father, who did go to school for electrical engineering, taught me to buy things made out of metal. Things that will last decades and that you can pass down to your offspring. I have his drill. I will pass it down to my own son, who will probably pass it down to his son. When I buy things I dig deep. I rarely buy a dud. I often find something that was out of stock because I thought about it and went to another part of the store where somebody misplaced the item. So let's talk about this Chromebook. I would tell you to buy it. Yes, I gave it four stars, but for a good reason. Screen. My regular computer has a massive screen. My go-to laptop has a massive screen. This one is big, but resolution wise? It's missing a lot on the right and a good amount towards the bottom. But seriously, it's bright enough, it's big enough, and it is a touch screen. Now I want computer to do this! One half of the star I removed was because it isn't as responsive as the touch screen on my Dell laptop. But it ain't fuzzy like people said. I use tech. This is just fine. Oh, it ships with a crappy resolution by default. You have to set it higher and it will be nice and crisp. Okay. Wow. So I now know why people had issues with the screen. Settings, search display. Change resolution. I liked it before. Now I love it! Strike my previous comments. It has plenty of real estate to the right and bottom. The default is to have it work for Grandma. I made it native 1920x1080 and it's perfect! But wait! There's more! Literally. It will do 2194x1234. Hmm. But I liked the native better. Keyboard. It's backlit. But the etching on the keys is too deep. So looking directly down on it, it's pretty. But looking from a normal angle? Completely trashed. Luckily I type without looking at keys. But! Some keys are off. Where they feel they should be. But, whatever. If you can type without looking, you'll adapt quickly. Speed. This thing is peppy! Installing apps is very fast. Almost instant. Swapping between apps, etc is quick. Battery. This thing lasts forever. Granted I don't watch a lot of video. But really, I'll get like 6 hours of work time unplugged! And I'm all over this thing. I plugged my pixel into it and it quick charged my pixel. Took about 16% of the battery to do it. My pixel needed about 70% charge. Track pad is alright. Says it tries to ignore your palm. I found that it found it here and there. I prefer a mouse anyway. Sound. It ain't a gaming laptop. Sound wasn't great. But it wasn't total crap either. It works. It's fine. It's a Chromebook, not Beats by Dre. It will be updated with new chrome os updates for years. So no worries there. Linux is now part of the OS. So pretty cool. You can have multiple users. Like windows they are in their own compartment. Lots of keyboard shortcuts to look up in Google. Make it very fast to get around this thing. Overall I would say you should buy this. I got the 8 gig RAM version. I got it to use while traveling in our van across country. My Dell drew way to much power for a cigarette lighter inverter. This thing just rocks. Do get the Amazon basics bag to carry it. Don't worry about the straps issue there. This thing is light. So it won't cause the straps issues. When you register it for the warranty with Asus you have to select the commercial NB product type. Apparently this is the company level netbook.
