I wouldn't worry about this seller's authenticity. But if you do.. then spend the extra $. Simple no? |

With 3% cashback using Chase Amazon, the difference is only about 2 dollars |

Wish Netflix would hurry up and make an ARM compatible version for this particular Chromebook. Correct me if I'm wrong but this is the same chip in the Nexus 10, which afaik has never had an issue playing Netflix, so why its taking so long for Chromebook I don't know.

Using this right now. Its an amazing piece of tech or under $250. Its a good 2nd or 3rd computer, but can not substitute a windows machine 100%. (especially if you need to print).

Are you kidding me? Good luck if you wind up with a lemon if you buy from "Johnny-Fell-Off-The-Truck-Electronics" on eBay. Stupid to buy this from eBay. Simple, no? |

I see no advantage to this over just buying from a reputable dealer for $10 more.
On second thought, I see no advantage to that either. |

It's a great little device as long as you know what to expect. It's not quite "just a browser" as many people are quick to say but the offline capabilities are pretty limited. You can view videos, listen to music (not sure about what formats of each are supported though I haven't run into an issue yet) and view photos and even do some light editing. Google Docs work offline and there are many offline capable apps in the chrome store. Many of the online only "apps" I've tried from the store are really just shortcuts to load webpages which is a bit of a bummer. This has already been pointed out by a few folks, but Netflix doesn't work yet but Google is working with them on the issue. In the meantime, Amazon VOD and Hulu work for sure, not sure about other streaming services. I found another glitch with eBay that will prevent you from creating a listing because of the interface they use to add photos.
Overall, though, it's a great device (nice looking, too) that does what it's supposed to very well. For the vast majority of people, it will definitely not suffice as your only device, but it's perfect for me since it's just my web browsing/mobile computer and my meaty desktop is for gaming and lets me do all the things Windows allows that ChromeOS doesn't (DoD CAC support is a huge one for me). The 100GB of Google Drive storage for 2 years is awesome, though! Quick note on battery life: I get about 6 hours on a charge doing general web browsing or reading documents. Streaming an online video while outputting over HDMI gets more like 3 hours, maybe even slightly less. For the people who asked about expanding storage: according to Google, if you swap the 16GB SSD out for a larger SSD, the OS will no longer accept updates as it would normally. Looking at the hardware, I don't even see how you would/could do it. Your best options are the SD card slot and the USB ports. I haven't used it with a USB HDD but it works fine with thumb drives.
