Terrific for Price and Size
on January 2, 2017
Posted by: ChuckFinley
This Chromebook is tremendous for its value and size. I have owned it now for 7 to 8 months, using it moderately as a college student, and it has traveled with me thousands of miles across the planet.
The battery life is relatively long for its size; better than my Dell. I bought this to take with me overseas so I didn't have to lug around my heavy Dell Inspiron. I don't use it as a tablet much. but it's been handy. The camera is decent. I'd go as far to say that the hardware is comparable to Mac's; I never buy Mac's because I dislike the software, but their hardware is great. The keys are good, touch-screen works well, and the touch-pad works very well too. The two USB ports, mini HDMI, and micro SD card slot all work well with the device. I adore the Aluminum finish of the Chromebook; it looks sharp and maintains a "clean" appearance.
The software on this is google chrome, naturally; it is simple and works exceptionally well - I mean that it only can perform as much as google chrome as on other computers.
The only problems I will point out is that the RAM is low, and gets "full" occasionally which really slows things down. A fix to that is to simply restart the device. Another thing is that there is a lock button right above the backspace button. Although rarely, I have pressed it and locked my screen in the midst of typing.
If you're looking for an inexpensive laptop but want a better quality, this is the one too get. It may be a bit more expensive than some others, and smaller, but that extra price goes a long way. All in all, great buy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Is this labtop good for school work (Microsoft)

Not necessarily. It's google chrome, so it has google docs and slides and such. Cannot do microsoft office. Excellent for internet browsing, however.

Can you install Open Office on this laptop?

I would say no; however, I am not certain. It is essentially google chrome-just google chrome. It has Google Docs and all that.
