I'm typing my message on this exact Chromebook. I bought it for $250 back in the summer. It has been great, though as mentioned above, a backlit keyboard would be nice.

It comes with a year of Gemini Advanced and 2 TB of storage. When I tried to activate the offer, I got a cryptic message about my account not being eligible. After a useless exchange with Google Support that took over a week, they ended by saying the device was not eligible. English comprehension ain't their strong suit! I finally figured out that it was because my Google account was part of a Google Family group. I had to disassociate the account to activate the trial.

You can re-create the Family Group after activating the trial and share the 2 TB. I saw a message that you can only do this once a year. It looks like they updated and clarified the terms of the offer to mention the problem I encountered.

Recommended. I installed their Linux support and can run Signal Desktop, Brave and Reaper in that environment.

On the question about media, the internal speakers don't get too loud, but they're fine along with the mic for Google Voice calls. The headphone jack works well with my KRK headphones, plenty of volume and clear. I can cast from Chrome, YouTube and YouTube Music to my TV with Chromecast built-in.

Brightness is fine for indoors. I lower the brightness at night. Probably 200 or 250 nits.

As a device for my elderly mother-in-law, I think Chromebooks are great. I used to get calls about malicious pop-ups and error messages all the time with Windows 10. With a Chromebook, I maybe get a call every 6 months or so. Best Christmas gift we could have gotten her (to preserve my sanity).

When I use a Chromebook I got use to not save any files, everything was store in the cloud, I would have rather get 128GB SSD and 16GB RAM. My first ever Chromebook only had 32GB storage and it was enough for me.

8GB of of RAM is more than adequate for most users. Not everyone use a computer tom play games. Chrome OS does not use a lot of RAM to begin with.

Quote from Ruslan42 :
Can anyone compare this to 515?
I have the 515 and was curious about this deal also. To me, it's more important to have a more powerful CPU. 515 uses i3 1215u and it is slightly more powerful. 515 also has a 15in screen. But if touchscreen and Gemini is important to you, then this deal would work great if you don't mind the smaller screen size

For this price, it is a steal. Intel i3 processor and 8 gb is adequate for most Chromebook users. A backlit keyboard on this one would have made it super slick.
But at this price, no complaints. Grabbing one when it starts.

Lots of negative reviews with this same theme otherwise this looks great! "I too had the failure to boot without the plug being in - which apparently is a more common issue."

People Used to complain on 4gb on Chromebook and now on 8b. Guess this stuff never gets old.
Well the OS and apps continue to grow and have increased requirements for ram over time. I remember using Windows with 8 MB (yes, megabytes ) ram at a time where that was considered a lot...

What is a chromebook?
I googled it up for you:
Chromebook is a laptop or tablet that runs on Google's Chrome OS, an operating system that's designed for web-based tasks. Chromebooks are known for being simple, fast, and cloud-centric.
