this was the perfect device for me
By samami on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2017
I would swear I already wrote a review for this. Either Amazon is confused, or I am. But here goes...I chose this model largely based on Consumer Reports rating and its price.Essentially, this was the perfect device for me. I already have a high powered laptop, a good tablet, etc. What I needed was something that could act as a thin client through vmware (it can), and is otherwise mostly a browser. This fits that bill. Because it is inexpensive, it isn't a total tragedy if it is stolen or lost. Because it is secure, I don't have to worry about my data being exposed (except for the gmail account, and the one I use for access is not my primary gmail). When I am on a trip, this is the right machine for move photos from my camera (It has an SD slot) to my USB drives. It is also thin and light, and I am loving the ChromeOS touch pad. So far the battery life is very good, and they keyboard is spaced out enough to make typing relatively comfortable (In fact, I'm writing this review on it).Obviously, this isn't a real computer. Games (other than browser ones, I guess. I don't play them) are pretty much off the table. You cannot load traditional applications, just browser apps and extensions. Video quality is fair, at best. For me, these are all pluses, since I don't have anyone wishing to borrow it. But I can see how it wouldn't fulfill the needs of many. YMMV.

Serviceable, but not like new.
By shawna benge on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2021
Function is suitable, they're school computers and work as such so far. The out of the box finish was a very disappointing. The description reads "Used, like new" but as you can see in the pictures, there is significant wear along the edges, the covering is an aftermarket cover that covers up SIGNIFICANT scratches and damage to the cover.These computers are FAR from like new. And if I didn't desperately need computers for my children, I would return them for a refund.
