Criteria Comments Rating
  • Speed and features A Chromebook has to be considered in a league of it's own. This particular model does not try to compete on price with other notebooks. It does one thing well! great!
  • Design and form factor Though the body is a plastic, it has the same size and shape as the 11.6" Macbook Air. It has a wonderful keyboard to type on. Still, a delete key would be nice good
  • Battery life It's not an "ALL DAY" battery but 6.5 hours is on par with many much more expensive laptops and higher end Netbooks good
  • Display My only complaint: Colors sometimes appear to be washed out and it is sometimes difficult to find a strong position for the screen in uneven lighting. so-so
  • Durability It definitely doesn't have the rugged feel as the Macbook Air but it's as durable as any other laptop. The SSD means that the machine has no moving parts. good
  • Expandability 16GB is all you get but its all you need. However, there are two USB ports in the back of the machine that allow for low profile USB drives. so-so
  • Noise The only sound the Chromebook makes is the satisfying 'click' of its keyboard. It has no hard drive and no fans. For an 11.6", the speakers are excellent. great!
  • Portability (size / weight) It's less than 3/4" tall and weighs next to nothing! great!
