    My first laptop at aged 53 and….

    Got this for £139 with payments over 6 months. 21-11-23.I charged it straight away and you will know when it’s charged as the light goes from red to white.2 minutes to set up and if I can set it up then anyone can set it up.For a capital letter – press shift and your letter – easy.For stuff you can’t find straight away – press on the time, bottom right off your screen and that will take you to where you need to go.Camera – very good. Volume is not the best but it’s not poor either. I charged it last night and it’s still on near full capacity, 12 hours later. Granted, I wasn’t on it much but still good to know.I won’t need to have my desktop on all day now saving on the electric bill.I go to a caravan park twice a year with no internet access. As far as I’m aware, I can transfer my mobile data on to this laptop – perfect.If you’re a parent and you’re not rich then as a child I would be very happy if I was opening this on Christmas Day but that’s just my opinion.I was tempted to get an Apple laptop at £799 for my first laptop but I thought – why? I’ve had this a day and for the price, I will be shocked if something drastically goes wrong.

    Asus Chromebook

    The Asus Chromebook, is a very nice laptop. I bought a mouse to use with it, I can’t deal with touchpad.It’s a fast performer, to be sure. I like checking my emails with this machine. Also the sound quality of this laptop pleases me very much. Put headphones on to listen to Radio 2, is pleasurable. I haven’t had it for long, But I’m truly impressed with it.

    Very Good and Effective

    I bought this after the battery started to swell and distort the case in my 14 inch HP Chromebook.I was well pleased with the HP Chromebook and I have subsequently bought a replacement battery for it, but I must say I find this better and is the one I use most of the time.The sound quality on this and the HP are clear and fine for my use.The real difference is in the better screen resolution.

    im 61 and thought a Chromebook would be hard to use, but since trying this one i wish i had got one sooner. if you can use a web browser you can use this, not keen on save to cloud but thats just my choice.

    Sadly, only a 2 star review.

    I bought this Chromebook in the Black Friday Deal. I have to say it was brilliant, exactly what I was expecting for the price in all catergories.After 3 weeks, one day I was using it to browse the web and without warning it just turned off. At the time it had plenty of charge (around 60%). I tried turning it back on but nothing. I then tried placed it on charge and the charging light didn’t even turn on. There was absolutely no power.To this day I do not know why and it will just not work.I have returned it for a refund and will just stick with my older laptop for now until I can buy a better model.Very disappointing.

    Let’s be honest, you don’t need more

    I am a Law student in the UK and my old, more powerful windows laptop just broke. I used to have a cheap, small chromebook and I had always missed it. I am extremely happy with my purchase, it is small, portable, great battery life, looks solid (I drop my tech all the time) and great screen ratio.It has everything I actually need. I open it and I am already typing in google docs, checking my email or reading a pdf within literally 5 seconds! In addition, it can seamlessly play Clash Royale or even edit images. I don’t need more for my study laptop.

    Small apps on screen

    At the minute im upsett with this laptop. Because when you go on an app. Its only the size of your phone and tablet. On the screen. Iv googled to get help. But it seams that. Its just how it is. So if you go on facebook or photos. You have an option. To have the screen the size of your phone. Or the size of your tablet. Which is small compared to the screen. Had i have know this id have never purchased this. Theres loads of screen left blank. Behind the app your opening. Its rubbish.

    Fantastic and speedy

    I bought this as I needed an additional laptop to work on whenever our Dell Windows laptop is being used by my family. I only need really need a browser for web apps, email, docs/sheets/drive etc. so this has everything I needed to take notes and do admin. Well it turns out to be much quicker for doing this stuff than the Dell Windows laptop and a sixth of the price!! It boots in seconds and everything is speedy. I’ve also turned on Linux in the settings, so am able to install Linux apps (from the terminal, or simply double clicking .deb files). I’ve installed Visual Studio Code which integrates with GitHub. This is superb value. I still need the windows laptop for large apps like Cubase, but I’d definitely recommend this Chromebook for students writing essays, writers, bloggers, self employed for admin, browsing, and using web apps.

    No hdmi port

    Can’t believe no hdmi port so it will have to go back (or I’ll donate it) it is not as robust as the 202X so if screen gets damaged which is often the case with these there is no way to connect external monitor, pay the extra make sure you have hdmi port, it’s ok as a static computer but would avoid if you are carrying it around, certainly not built with school kids in mind

    Not the best but does the job. Very basic.

    As title says for the money you get what you pay for. Honestly if I wasn’t using it just to watch the odd football game or to browse the web occasionally maybe like once or twice a week, I would paid more for something a lot better. The speaker is rubbish and the web browser is slow, also it glitches out sometimes when I am scrolling on google. The screen is small and the display very blurry, which doesn’t help with my poor eyesight (I have to squint to read it) then when I zoomed in everything became too big and focused (Due to the screen size) I came from using a Macbook Air and this was a massive downgrade. No wonder apple is better than android or google. Invest your money somewhere else or you will be disappointed. Yes it’s cheap but it’s also crap at the same time.

    Good basic device

    It’s a budget device, so it’s quite slow, the screen isn’t very bright and the sound is poor. But for the price it is perfectly acceptable. Great for everyday tasks, web browsing etc. Recommended, unless you want to pay more for higher performance.

    This was everything I was hoping for. It wasn’t quite clear from the description, but it has two USB-A and two USB-C ports so with suitable adapters, it can support two external screens and a mouse (which is definitely needed). Also a microSD slot.

    Brilliant laptop

    I must say that I’m very surprised about the laptop.First of the laptop came in a well portable box that was with everything and it was well done wrapped in that it made me know that nobody jas used it or nobody has done anything with the settings2nd the weight is brilliant and was heavy enough and that’s also brilliant 3rd the speed that got to me because I’m very use to laptops that is slow and likes to take time to load up but all I did was went to look it over to begin with and straight away the laptop had loaded straight up with no messing around and no slowness at all4th the sturdiness and the screen quality as well as the Connectivity are all great they all just like what you wanted.I can there for say that the screen is great and perfect and the sturdiness is also great and perfectly as well.For my first chrome laptop I can easily say in caps WOW and the reason why is for this is because I have never used a chrome laptop before at all as it always been all different types but I do strongly believe in my self that I will be wanting to stay with chrome as I have had a taste of the laptop with the chromeIt’s worth the money and I’ll definitely will recommend it.As for the screen touch I have no comments about that due to that I’m still getting use to the laptop and adjusting to know the programing and so on.But I’m very happy about this laptop big time I think I might be getting another one for back up but not sure as yet but let me advise you if you looking for a great laptop than this is the one for you

    Good enough for the price

    Needed a laptop quickly whilst mine was being repaired and saw this, saw the price and reviews and bought it.Now I’m very happy with the laptop in general, the screen is clear and it’s heavy but not so you can’t carry it comfortably in a laptop case/bag, the layout is simple but nice and the start up speed you can’t complain about at all.However … what is so annoying to me is you don’t know if you’ve got capitals unless you type and then it took me to google just to find out how to type in capitals without holding the capitals key down continuously.There is no back light on the keypad either which is annoying and would of been cheap enough to add that feature.Finally .. and I don’t understand why but the screen measured diagonally corner to corner of the screen display (measured how they do in store) it comes to 16.4” not 17” as advertised and this I’m completely flummoxed over as this is a top brand and no matter what tape measure I used or who measured it for me it still came to 16.4” (my son made it 16.5) but nonetheless it isn’t 17” close enough not to complain or return though.All in all I’m happy to use this as a comfortable spare that’s easy to navigate and has all the basic functionality you need.

    Absolutely love this! But get a mouse!

    I thought it wasn’t going to be up to much when I saw the price of it. But I thought I would give it a try knowing I could return it with the Amazon guarantee.I was disappointed at first with it due to only using my finger on the pad. It wasn’t very responsive, probably due to the fact that I have very long nails.I was ready to pack it up and return after one day.I decided to give it a try with the mouse from my other pc.And WOW!! What a difference it made.There is a part of the keyboard that is blank that I use for the mouse and it’s enough. Im guessing this is why the space was left.The keyboard is very easy to use and the numbers block on the right hand side is handy.This laptop does not run off Windows it runs off Linux but behaves exactly like a laptop. I was confused by the lack of icons on the screen. Apparently they don’t sit there, they sit in the ‘tray’ below the screen or the side or the top. Wherever you want to put it. At first I didn’t like it but now I’ve got used to it I really do. And it leaves the screen clear.This system runs on apps, just like my phone.. or it can still run off of websites too.It connects to your phone and shows up any WhatsApp messages or texts etc, which I find very handy to have.The sound quality is quite good. Doesn’t sound tinny, like a lot of them do.Superfast boot up. Seconds. Impressive.It has a micro memory slot which is very handy indeed. I put a 512gb in there and it read it, no problemBattery life is excellent.It’s quite heavy and very sturdy.Couple of downsides, which are not too bothersome.Only 2 usb slots.No HDMI slot either, which would have been nice.All in all the positives out weigh the negatives.Get one! But get a mouse!!

    Should have done this years ago (and I’m a tech savvy computer geek).

    I’d never owned a Chromebook before and at this price I thought there wasn’t much to lose so I took the plunge. In all honesty I’m absolutely blown away and amazed. I totally now understand why Chrome OS has recently overtook Apple as the second most used operating system.Boots up in about 6 seconds and is online immediately. Everything is fast including Youtube. It’s sort of comparable in speed to an I7 quad core Windows machine and even then it does some things quicker still. It doesn’t have to load and deal with all the legacy APIs that Windows has to nor does it need any sub-systems. It’s an optimised and extremely lean operating system. So even though it’s only a Celeron N4500 with 4GB of ram it absolutely flies. You also don’t have to worry about updates or viruses and when it does update its seamless and unobtrusive. Everything is nice and super simple. Once you get it you really do appreciate how much of a slow burden Windows was on your computer. Other nice touches are total integration with your Android phone. If your phone is nearby you’ll see your Whatsapp messages come on the laptop screen and if anyone sends you a picture on Whatsapp you’ll see that too and you can download it to the laptop immediately.The disadvantage of course is that it can’t run Windows software. But I’d say that that is probably irrelevant for about 9 out of 10 people these days as most users are doing everything online now and this trend is accelerating at a rapid pace. Ultimately everything will be internet and cloud based in the end anyway. Also remember that if a computer is used for work purposes then this will usually be provided by the employer. But if you are reliant on specialist Windows applications such as music making software or CAD software then this machine might not be suitable (but even that is changing rapidly too due to online tools).Google Docs is excellent and for me at least it has totally dispelled the need for Microsoft Office and it’s also a lot better than Microsoft’s Office 365 online version. With Chrome OS being online based it has forced me to look for online browser versions of the things that I use a computer for. And everything is there, even Solitaire!The machine itself is a dream come true. Most importantly for me (yes most importantly), it is a very stylish and elegant design and itches all cravings for a Macbook Pro with flying colours. It’s very well built and the chassis has military grade certification and is tested. There is a small amount of keyboard flex but I think this is irrelevant at this price point and it doesn’t move when typing. The computer is also nice and up to date and has USB C charging from both the left and right side of the computer. Nice touch.So it’s a complete winner and a game changer for me and I can’t see myself ever buying a Windows based laptop again. As mentioned in the title I am a computer geek. I’ve used them all right from the ZX Spectrum days and I’ll guarantee you that you won’t regret this. The Chromebook is a winner.

    Faulty Item – ASUS Chromebook 14 CM1402CM2A 14.0″ Full HD Chromebook Laptop

    I am sooo disappointed. Bought this device as a christmas present for my sister in Kenya which I took down to Kenya and had to pay for customs on it, even though I collected here in UK at my house. She unboxed it and tried to do the initial setup only to find out that the embedded keyboard is faulty. Sooooooo not nice. I am back in UK now. Device is under warranty, but the cost to ship it back to me to be collected by amazon will almost supersede the cost I bought it, not mentioning how much to send it back even if it is replaced. Sooo not nice

    Great Chromebook – Easy to Set Up

    This is a great chromebook – especially for the price. It was very easy to set up and the battery life is superb. The screen colours are lighter than my old chromebook, but I did find that the settings can be changed to suit my colour preferences. I read recommendations for Asus and it is as good as others said it was.

    Looks good.

    Great machine for the price but the sound output is very poor, I had to buy earphones to listen to videos etc!
