This is a decent machine for the price. If you're buying this so your 9 year old kids can do their school work without using your sick gaming PC like I did, it'll likely do exactly what you want. As a web surfing, productivity app sort of machine, it's fine.

The listing mentions there's an optional touch screen, which I incorrectly interpreted to mean that you'd be able to turn the touch screen on or off, depending on whether you felt like using it. What it actually means, though, is that certain models in this line have a touch screen and others don't. This particular model definitely does not. My kids rely heavily on the touch screen on the other Asus chromebook we have, so I'll likely be exchanging this for something else.

Do a little more research than I did. Learn what "optional touch screen" actually means. If you don't care about the touch screen and just need something to send emails, do some school work, and maybe watch the occassional Netflix show, then by all means buy this machine.
