Better Sooner Than Later.....
1st off - the laptop itself looks and feels great. The screen size is nice, it has a nice battery life and it boots/reboots quickly..... which I got to find out pretty early. The 1st time it froze up, it was for about 2 minutes. I figured I'd just go ahead and have less instances of Chrome open next time but to no avail. The 2nd time it froze up when I pulled up the Play Store, stayed frozen for 5 minutes and then reset. I could go on but I'm not going to describe every one of the 10+ instances it froze or the 6+ reboots. But what did it for me? I turned on the laptop, logged in & opened an instance of Chrome. Everything was fine. I took a shower and came back to a dark screen & thought it was just power saving. Nope. Hit the power button, logged in again, fired up Chrome & saw my buddy in the upper right-hand corner : "Chrome did not close correctly - Restore pages - Start Up Pages" (paraphrasing). WHAT?!?! The computer locked up while it wasn't even being used?!? That's enough for me! This bad boy is being returned on Monday.
Oh, did I mention that all this happened within the first 72 hours of ownership? I'm surprised I was able to type this whole review without it locking up!
