Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you use Google for email, calendar, etc. this is a great machine. The screen is big and colors and picture are clear. It is zippy too. Chrome store apps and Google docs are fast and work well. I've used it a couple of days now and have no complaints. One thing to note is that there are two volume controls. There is one on the keyboard and another one on the monitor. The monitor is set low and seems to be the master. If you turn that one up to 75 out of 100 and then use the keyboard volume you can get the sound to a decent level. Besides that confusion, it is working great. Edit 6/28/2014 Now that I have used it for a while I thought I would update the review. I still really like this machine. People have commented about the keyboard and mouse quality. They do feel a little cheap but to get a computer for just over $300 with a great screen I think it is asking too much to expect the same quality as a $2,000 computer. They feel cheap but they work great, no issues at all. I took my old iMac and put it on the storage shelf. I really only use Google products and surf the web on this machine and it is super zippy. I'm getting a second one of these for the house/kids. If you're looking for a home Chrome OS machine, this is a great bang for your buck! Edit 10/26/2016 It has been a great machine these last few years. I use it daily to check email, banking, etc. The last few weeks it has been acting up. I did a complete refresh of the OS ("Powerwash") but it hasn't improved much. It will freeze at times for no apparent reason. Looks like it is near the end of its life. With Android coming to Chrome OS machines, but not supported by this machine, I will be replacing it in the near future.
