ASUS - 17.3 Chromebook - Intel Celeron N4500-4GB Memory - 32GB eMMC - Transparent Silver

I bought this Chromebook for my 76 year old mother. I was the one who did the setup. The initial setup failed over and over. It connected to the internet, but would not set up the primary user. It would allow me to login as a guest, but not set up the primary. I researched and found this is a known error with some Chromebooks. It doesnt appear to be brand specific, but rather has to do with the version of the Chome OS, theres a bug in the OS. I ended up having to follow the steps to completely reinstall the operating system. All in all, it took me a couple of days between researching, downloading the new OS (the download itself was also a bit buggy to get) and reinstalling the OS and then finishing the setup. For a product that is supposed to be simple to use, I was very disappointed. The option of returning for a new one was there, but my mom lives on the other side of the country from me and is not tech savvy so she would have had no idea what to do to set it up once the new one got there, because I was only there for a week. Once I got it set up, it seems fine, and the machine itself is attractive with a large screen and great resolution. It gets a 2 star rating because it arrived as a brick, but I was able to fix it.

Had been sometimes using an old Toshiba with Neverware. Interesting but not that useful. I wanted a good Chromebook and it was well worth it.

This Chromebook would not turn on. Or at least the screen would not wake up. Until I put it back in the box to send it back then magically the screen turned on. So thats the way it got shipped back.

Good value

I mostly work with Google Drive and reading PDF files. So Chromebook is a good fit for me. And I trust ASUS too. So an ASUS Chromebook is perfect for me.

Love how much more I can see on 17 inch screen. Extended keyboard with numbers keypad and delete key is a real plus. Also, battery lasts all day!

i got this for movies/ytube on the patio etc....i like this machine and would consider another..the simplicty and screen are the sellers ...but have to say after 3 mos the bluetooth died

Doesnt give privacy from the sides.

Im satisfied that this is a good deal. I wanted a big screen, weight was not an issue, setup was easy. If you understand what a Chrome book is, this is a good machine. I dont do image processing or other processor heavy stuff.

Bought this for my mother-in-law, it was great price just under $240.00 big 17 screen, she loves. My friend bought one for his parents and they love it.
