This chromebook is a beast ! As a student, this chromebook is perfect for my homework and other school stuff. Of course, the battery has a low life time, but it's not that much of a deal. It's a B grade product, but honestly, it's like new! Really satisfied !

So this Chromebook is old enough that it no longer receives ChromeOS updates from Google. This is fine for me, as I just reinstalled it with Ubuntu Linux, but might present a problem for someone actually wanting a ChromeOS device. Beyond that, the item I received was in very good shape and works well as a laptop. These machines are very solidly built, with a metal body, so there is an amount of heft to them. In all I am happy with my purchase, especially for the price, but it took a bit of effort on my part to get there..

So Google clearly went out to out-Macbook Pro the Macbook Pro with the first gen. Pixel, and they largely succeeded. It's drop dead gorgeous, with a (touch)screen that is out-of-this-world, luxury backlit keyboard, and superbly tactile touchpad. For reading and writing, general internet use, and viewing photos and videos, this is the ultimate machine: Fast and sleek. The Ivy Bridge CPU is a power hog though, and that's a lot of pixels to push. The battery life is only about 4-5 hours. It's also very heavy for the size, and - how can I put this - it's a laptop that's so nice you naturally want to baby it, so unlike a Thinkpad or a cheap Acer it's not a laptop that works particularly well as a road machine, and that's before considering that it probably doesn't run the software you need it to. So this laptop is best used around the house, something like an iPad but with a much more comfortable typing experience. Perfect for discussion forums, browsing photo galleries, Amazon shopping, blog writing, all that kind of stuff.Read full review

The condition of this device as received was absolutely perfect. it appears to have been given a new battery. Battery health was above 97% when I checked. The chrome operating system is at EOL but I don't really believe this is a security issue and it still runs great. Also I have heard of a project in the works called 'LacrOS' which puts a new chrome browser on to an older Chromebook.I tested it with Xubuntu live USB and everything seemed to work. The keyboard,touchpad, and screen--well, this is an extremely high quality machine, much nicer than I ever expected to own.

While the battery life has dropped off a bit on my refurbished model, it was still an absolute steal for $160. Much better than anything you can buy new for that price including a fantastic touch screen and a beautiful keyboard. It is lightweight, wonderfully designed and powerful for such a low price. I see people selling them for $500 which is absurd, but in the $200 range it is amazing.
