We purchased this Asus chromebook for our middle schooler to start the 7th grade. From our perspective, we believe this chromebook was an excellent value based on its price and features. Best Buy had a Labor Day sale and we purchased this chromebook for under $300 (retail was $499). We researched other comparable chromebooks from HP, Dell, Lenovo and Acer. However, this Asus chromebook was the clear winner in terms of its feature. The 3 features that were important to us was the chromebook's performance, battery life and usability. The performance speed is very good with its 8GB memory and AMD Ryzen process chip. The performance was more then adequate for our 7th grader to browse the internet for research, check e-mails and do her school work using Google applications. The video resolution is very clear and crisp with full high definition and the sound output is excellent with its built-in speakers. The chromebook's 2-in-1 feature is a nice feature and can be used a tablet and fold as a tent for display. The chromebook's color (ponder blue) and overall built is sleek and solid. This chromebook is about 4 lbs, a little on the heavier side as compared to other chromebooks. The chromebook battery life has been great as our 7th grader can use the chromebook at school all day with fully charged battery. As for usability, the chromebook has a touch screen and the keyboard has a back-light. Overall, this Asus chromebook has a lot of nice features and the sale price under $300 is a great deal for a chromebook that can be used for several years. Enclosed are several pictures of the chromebook.

This computer is a marvel in every way. The only con I see in this thing is the weight, it's really heavy at 2 kg, if you can overcome this, then by all means its good. Speed is amazing, the screen has very pretty colors though its not very bright (for outside use at least), keyboard is back-lit and has a very good key distribution, speakers are amazing, port selection is nice, the fan is not very loud. I haven't tried gaming yet, only Minecraft (which came as a Chromebook perk), it plays nicely, stutters sometimes.

I love Asus products and I love this Chromebook. I am having one issue. The mouse pad sticks randomly and I didn't eat near my Chromebook. I called tech support 3 months ago and they said to power wash it which worked. Unfortunately, I've had to power wash it 3 times in 4 months due to the mouse pad sticking. I'm working with Asus and their resolution is to send it in for repair instead of replacement which sucks. 7-10 business day turn around. They do pay for shipping which is a plus. The Chromebook is fast and the battery lasts a very long time. It's heavy and I prefer it that way. It's solid.
