  Plain looking

This is a really good basic computer. It can be really helpful if you familiarize yourself with the google apps. They make the computer more than basic. You can organize and have easy access to information at the blink of an eye. It is like have the functionality of a pc but without the bugs.

grandson wanted this in lieu of Apple tablet. He loves it! Much more user friendly to use a "real" keyboard over the virtual keyboard. I have a similar Chromebook and use it 98% of the time for business.

  honestly, no cons for this price range

It's my own fault, but I didn't realize that you can't use Microsoft Office applications on a Chromebook...no Word, no Excel, no PowerPoint. It has something similar, but they are not interchangeable. Other than that, it's a nice little machine, though it does take some getting used to.

It took me forever to get it to start and the battery still isn't full.

A touchscreen laptop that still runs on Win 8, DVD drive, and bluetooth. A solid choice.
