Thanks micmic37
Many apps (think STEM) are geared toward touch-enabled devices which makes for a superior experience for kids. Sadly, kids are keyboard/mouse inept.
For adults relying on cloud services, a larger screen equals greater productivity.

On a few occasions when the chromebook was plugged in for a few hours (power setting to turn off display on idle while plugged in) I pressed a key or moved the mouse to wake the display but the system froze and the screen stayed black. I knew the OS was frozen because the USB dongle/receiver for the mouse has an LED that flashes when I move the mouse. When this freezing happened the LED did not show activity w/ mouse movement. The only option in these instances was to force reset by pressing power + reload (circular arrow) button. Same freezing issue has happened without any USB mouse or device connected. No freezing issues coming out of sleep when running on battery.
Another time waking it up, the display was switching between normal display and being blurry or fuzzy. It was quite bizarre. Again, a reset fixed the issue. That happened once when the chromebook was not plugged in.
I don't know if I got a lemon or if there are some odd firmware or OS version bugs. Of course these issues only started after the return period passed. I eventually changed the setting to sleep on idle when plugged into AC power.
Most of us that bought this device are very impressed with the 17 inch ips screen and the sound is great on this laptop compared to other windows/chromebooks I have owned in the past.
General Purpose laptop in very handy form factor. For a good laugh, read the FOUR 1star reviews out of 375 reviews, ... the vast majority of people gave this 5 star reviews, and sing it's praises. I did! For the price, it's a steal. But if you are a POWER user or Apple person, why are you in this thread reading here.
Again, 94 percent of the people that buy it, recommend it. Don't buy it without looking at the user reviews, to make sure this is what you are looking for in a laptop. i liked it so much I did buy 2 of them and I'm not alone! I know a good thing when I see it.
