I want to marry it! I usually don’t write reviews yet I feel this deserves my time to write one. I was really excited to buy a chromebook after I spent a good amount of time researching them and watching other reviews on youtube, (something I like to do before I buy something). Just to give a very quick overview of what a chromebook is, which is easy to make simple: They are very light-weight laptops, running off a solid state drive (usually aruond 16gig or 32gig). Chrome OS is the light environment, which I fell in love with. No more of all the crap widows tries to sell. No more viruses, AND you can run Ubuntu or other light Linux dsitros along side Chrome OS with a simple key command to change. It is extremely easy and quick to install Linux, just by searching a tutorial on Youtube it took less than an hour. With Ubuntu running offline I can have access to LibreOffice Writer and all the amazing free applications Linux offers. Okay enough about Linux because I could brag about how much I love that too…

It’s very solid feeling and looks pretty nice without trying to be a macbook air. The screen is admittedly not the best in terms of viewing angles but for some people I know that’s actually a feature. The fact that it’s matte makes it amazing though. I don’t think I could go back to a glossy screen.I installed Linux on it easily enough and thus can swap to a more powerful OS whenever I want to play games for instance ( got hearthstone installed and working well)The best thing about this laptop though is that it’s an absolute battery champion. Today it’s lasted me through a 3h class during which I downloaded about 2gb worth of tv shows. After that I hopped on a bus to go…
