C740 4GB Model

I haven't bought my own laptop before, so I did quite a bit of research and with a $200 budget in mind, this laptop does everything I need it to & with a fantastic battery life to boot. It's a bit smaller than I would have liked, but the size isn't bad for a laptop like this one. The screen doesn't have perfect viewing angles, but it does look nice and is fairly bright for inside viewing. I do dislike the fact that the SD card slot is not a full sized slot. I have an adapter coming in for a micro sd card that I'm hoping solves this, but I'm not too sure yet. Windows 10 does indeed work on this model as well, but the current trackpad driver wasn't very good, so I decided to stick with Chrome OS and a Linux dual boot with Gallium OS, and I'm loving this laptop. Steam streaming works fairly well with it, minus some hiccups here and there that I'm not too sure on, but I'm sure I'll figure it out one way or another. I would have liked the addition of a right click button, but the two finger click works just as well. The speakers sound good on a flat surface, but quieter and more gain-y without a flat surface, but that's not a problem for me. WiFi N speeds are reasonable with about 70 mbps, I have yet to test WiFI AC speeds, but I'm sure they're just as good and I can't complain. Overall this laptop is a great value for the price.Read full review
