I was upgrading my Acer Chromebook 15 when I purchased this. The Acer is great and is still in use in my home but I wanted higher ram and a faster processor (the Acer was only 4gb and an older Celeron). I also was wanting something the same screen size. This ticks off all those. I will say I was hesitant to buy this because I didn't really want to go back to a fanned unit after having a Chromebook for years without one but decided the improved speed and ability to handle heavier tasks was worth it. I had previously bought and returned the very similar HP 14 2-in-1 about a year ago because the fan kicked on LOUDLY every several seconds simply watching a YouTube video with only 2 other Chrome tabs and nothing else open. I was worried about that but I'm happy to report while I have heard the fan on this a few times it's been a quick and quiet whirl instead of the full blown blast the 14 was (confirming my belief and the reason I returned the 14 that it wasn't working correctly). When I first received this and set it up I decided to test it buy launching 6 different YouTube videos and playing all at once just to see how it handled it. It easily ran them and swapped between the tabs. On the regular though I'm "watching" a YouTube video in one tab and might have 3 or 4 other tabs open as well as constantly running the Android app version of Google Voice up for texting purposes. It hasn't so much as flinched and I'm certain I could easily run much more. The only reason it's not getting a full 5 stars is I do find it a little heavy. According to the specs it's only supposed to be 0.4 ounces heavier than my Acer but it feels much heavier. That said it's a very sturdy build so I'm not super mad at the heft. I would just warn this probably isn't the machine you would want to chart with you to school every day. But you do you! I'm using it in my bedroom where the most I'm doing is moving it from my bed to my desk and vice versa. Finally while I think with what you get it's worth the full asking price I would warn to try to wait out and wait for this one sale. I got it for $399, my understanding is it goes on sale around that fairly frequently. I've even seen some reviews say as low as $350 and at that price this is a steal.
