ASUS Chromebook CX1700 17.3" FHD Laptop, Intel Celeron N4500 Processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB eMMC Flash Memory, Intel UHD Graphics, 720P Webcam, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, Chrome OS, Gray (Renewed)

I am very very pleased. It's only been a day but I feel like this is a brand new laptop. The battery is very good. The product looks new. I have had no issues yet. All straight forward and clearly a job done well. I have had many re-newed laptops but this has been my favorite experience to date even though my others were very good this one has been by a hair more than I hoped it would be. New to Chromebooks but know they have a great reputation. This is also one for me! What I missed is only one thing. A lighted keyboard. Not a deal breaker at this price by even a little bit. Adapt and overcome! USMC ONE YEAR LATER...wow time fly's. This has been working just great for the past year. I did notice the bottom screws weren't tightened fully and had a couple missing by the time I caught one on the table after picking up to move I replaced the run away and re-tightened the rest. Not a problem just caution you to check them. I was back looking to perhaps get another as I dropped mine and it wasn't harmed except the corner it hit lost the speaker but I use an external blue tooth speaker since I bought it but the two speakers were adequate in a very quiet place but entertainment (movies/music) require blue tooth speakers to really enjoy which I used on all prior laptops as well. I added a usb plug in reading light to augment the lacking lighted keyboard and does fine but while still not creme de la creme for the price I am not complaining after one year. This has been good enough I came back to consider updating since losing a speaker but decided to wait or maybe go all out later for the big dollar laptop with upgraded speakers but today I am going to say no and keep my smile at saving a ton and perhaps update my blue tooth speakers instead ($30-60) for another year. Heck of a deal all around!! Cheers all!

Really love this machine as a personal computer - occasionally moved. CX1700 is large, I don't think I would carry it around every day, but the 17" screen is really great and eliminates the need for an external monitor at home (for me). The frame is ruggedized and I'm impressed with it, not worried about hauling it when I need to. I'm a software engineer with many years of experience, and I strongly prefer ChromeOS for my personal (not enterprise) computer because of the speed, reliability, security and efficiency of the underlying operating system. And the features in Chrome OS 130 make managing all your basic tasks SO easy. Office365 extremely easy to set up and works perfectly. Android phone integration is seamless.

Goodbye Windows and all of the included flaws. Very fast, very easy!

Disgusted with this purchase. Attempted to purchase printer that was compatible with chrome and after I finally got the correct printer number it still was having issues connecting with both WiFi and the printer.

Purchased refurbished, and works like NEW! I now have a laptop to use on random gigs where people can gather around and sing Christmas songs without looking at their phones and crowding me at the piano! 🥳😅 In the meantime, I've figured out how to USB-C tether hotspot-allocated internet to it, and optionally mirror my phone screen using a web-app\site called scrcpy. (Netflix didn't seem to work; USB debugging must be on).

Love this device .. great screen display. Easy to set up

I bought this computer not realizing it wasn't windows based. Admittedly I was seduced by the 17.3 inch screen and the under $200 price tag. But I didn't cancel the order once I realized my mistake because after research the thought of its security against malware was appealing, and most of what I use my computer for these days doesn't include hardcore productivity or desktop publishing anymore. I am still getting to know her and aside from not being able to locate my library under the books section of Google Play (likely my fault completely) so far everything is pretty intuitive. I'm sure once I dive deeper into what I can and cannot do with this computer my opinions may change, but for now it does what I need. I will likely purchase another windows based computer down the road though if I can't find a photo editor I like and need to go back to photoshop and other creative applications this platform doesn't support.

I don't know if more ram would of made faster but it's pretty slow. Better performance and backlit keyboard and I would of been happy.
