No no no! This laptop makes the smallest tasks feel like pulling teeth. Keyboard issues: It doesn't have a caps lock key, the symbol shortcuts are terrible (you can't make an em-dash, being one of many,) there are no play/pause buttons (even the space-bar won't work as one,) and there are no function keys. Apple compatibility issues: Doesn't work with anything apple-related except for the fact that there is an app for apple music. You can't just access your itunes account where you can do more with your music, or your photos. Obviously this isn't an apple product, but there are lots of devices that have that compatibility, even if it's not exactly the same. Also! When you do play something from your apple music app, the quality is terrible. The song (or movie) is constantly breaking up/having loading issues and stopping every other second, even if the audio is fully downloaded. Sound issues: The speakers are on the bottom of the laptop so you can never hear anything. Why?! Image issues: There is NO good angle at which you can position the screen. There's always glare, dark spots, and some part of the image you can't see. This is particularly annoying. Performance issues: Slow loading despite good internet connection. Apps freezing. Files app opening new windows every time you try to get to the original one. Not being able to close out windows of which there are many open from one app. (You have to click on each one and then exit. There is no hovering or anything.) This is not the right device for me; I will definitely just take the hit and buy a more expensive but better-working computer next time. This is not only not worth the money but causes constant inconveniences because of how hard it is to operate. I've probably forgotten a handful of other annoying things about this chromebook. Ew, Michelle!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Barely does the job

we used this for my son this year for remote learning and he could barely keep his zoom session open while working on a google doc. the processing kept freezing his zoom sessions. we have downloaded nothing and use it only for remote learning. we ended up switching to an ipad with a keyboard after a few months because it became too frustrating.

Great but crappy build quality

i have had my chromebook for about eight months now. it works pretty good. but in the eight months i’ve had some problems with it. for one. a couple keys have quite a bit of resistance against them. also the trackpad doesnt work very well on uneven surfaces. and i’m pretty sure the border around the display isn’t supposed to be cracked!
