After spending several weeks with it, I am very impressed with this little computer. It is ridiculously fast and very efficient with battery power. I went with 4GB of RAM because my previous Chromebook only had 2GB, and it was a little pokey. The extra RAM in this model is well worth it. Pages load fast. The thing boots within seconds. It wakes from sleep before I even get the lid all the way open. On one hand, I miss some of the keys of a traditional keyboard, such as the Page Up/Down and Home and End, but these keys can (in most cases) be replicated with key combinations (like Alt + Down for Page Down). It ends up being an acceptable compromise in the end, as the tradeoff is a full-sized keyboard on a laptop not quite the width of my lap. Speaking of which, the keyboard if Chicklet-style, very smooth and responsive, and typical of a Lenovo keyboard, which I love. When Chromebooks first...

Don't expect great speakers or a 1080p HD screen, but it is far superior to many chromebooks on the market. This chromebook has enough RAM and a good enough processor to load anything you can throw at it and load it fast. The rotating camera seems a little cheap, but I didn't expect a high end product at this price point. You won't be disappointed with this product as long as you aren't expecting a great display or great speakers. 0 Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful Excellent value and terrific build quality, August 12, 2015 I have tried a number of different Chromebooks. I think they make excellent daily computers for note taking, web surfing, document creation etc.; if you have specific special use requirements like video editing or heavy photo editing, or if you are inescapably tied to a particular software program not available on the Chromebook, they may not be for you. But for speed, ease of use, security, and economy I do not think that Chromebooks can be beat. That said, the Lenovo N21 may be the best Chromebook I have tried, and at $169 from Computer Upgrade King through Amazon, I feel like I got a steal. The build quality is excellent; the track-pad is particularly good; the keyboard, while not of Thinkpad caliber, may be the best I have seen on a Chromebook, and the screen is excellent (it is matte, by the way, which I particularly like but which you might not). I have not had the good fortune to try a Pixel, but I have tried most of the others. If you are interested in a Chromebook, and this...
