Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Okay I just set up this device. This is my first Chromebook, but I've been using my tablet primarily for a month or so and concluded that don't need to deal with clunky windows. This is a budget device and that's obvious from there feel of it. But that's ok with me. It's lightweight and pretty responsive. That's what I want, since this device is just for writing, some basic spreadsheet work and podcast recording. Simple enough. So it should be clear to you, dear reader, that I'm not one of the irrational people who gets super picky people about every technical aspect of a computer, especially at such a low price point. That being said, I have one big problem with this device. The screen resolution is so bad that the device is hard to stare at for more than a few minutes. It's unbelievably grainy, beyond what could be blamed on anti-glare protection. You can brighten the screen, but there's NO WAY to change the contrast. Come on folks, contrast is not a high end feature. Because I don't want to deal with sending this back and I have work to do, I'm going to try to make this work. So far I installed a night mode app which did improve things a bit. Next I'll change the desktop. Fingers crossed. I'll update this as needed.
