Up until now, I've only ever used Windows computers - desktop and laptop varieties. I was always under the assumption I wouldn't like Chromebooks because I wouldn't be able to download things, but I'm happy to say I'm now a Chromebook fan.Who should buy this?: People looking to mainly use a web-browser and do light-duty activities; somebody needing a lightweight, portable device for on-the-go and don't want to lug around a heavy laptop; anybody on a budget who wants a basic computer.Who SHOULDN'T buy this?: Anybody needing to do heavier tasks such as gaming, video editing, etc.; Those needing to download specialty programs; anybody expecting high-res graphics and the functionality of a Windows PC.Why did I buy it?: I needed a portable laptop for writing and was on a small budget. i also wanted to buy a brand I'm familiar with.Verdict?: I'll definitely buy a more powerful Chromebook in the future now that I know I like this OS. I'm happy I took a shot with this little device and plan to use it for as long as it lasts.Extra Info: You do have access to the Play Store. Not all apps work, but I believe that's with Chromebooks in general and not just this device. Although, more powerful apps such as the larger games might not run (I haven't really tried.) You cannot download external programs outside of Play Store. The display is good, but not great (not high res). Battery life is good. You have to use a Google account to sign in, but you can sign up for one during set-up.Definitely buy if you're unsure about Chromebooks, need a budget computer to do basic web-based tasks, want something that's lightweight and portable.
