Bought one of these back in February to use when traveling. Here’s the purchase:

Wound up paying $160 for it because the shipper didn’t include a charger.
CONS
* The mouse pad can be frustrating when trying perform things like highlight, copy & paste, and left click
* You’re stuck with the Google Store as to what software you can and cannot install
* No customization what so ever. I’m used to hacking my Linux & Windows PC in all different directions. Not this guy.
* You have to login to your Gmail account to get into the operating system
* Not much storage on this particular model but not much is needed. This is designed for the cloud
PROS
* The price is amazing
* The display is wonderful 1080dpi so it’s easy on the eyes and great for watching video
* Battery life is amazing. It’s 12 hours easy unless you’re streaming video consistently
* It’s so light weight and thin it’s amazing. Like picking up a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue
* Very good-looking laptop
* Throws of NO heat. I mean NONE. My old laptop used to get hot at the PSU. This guy, NOTHING!
While this will never be anything but a travel buddy for movies, surfing the web, and some lightweight cloud work I can’t say enough good things about it for the ROI. I’ll always be a desktop guy when it comes for getting shit done. But some people can work on their smartphone so maybe I lack flexibilty in that area.
For the price: 5/5 stars
