MOST:
- The remarkable autonomy; weight; the sound; USB 3.0 port for connecting external hard drive or USB key; the speed and the silence of the Intel processor coupled to the RAM 2gbDDR3 (enough I think); format (type A4 => easy to store in the towel) and quality of the LED screen
LEAST:
- An SSD a little "light" (16GB for it) which soon may become full even if I do not meet (again) the issue.
- As I feared before buying: ChromeOS in its current state
Even if very fluid and intuitive, I find the system too closed and not very accomplished at this time, particularly after a rather limited offline management. Almost all works through Wi-Fi, as well: Office, Skype, VLC (which does not play a video format on 3 ...) are quickly running out for satisfactory operation of the machine.
In short, I was so eager to switch to "developer mode" to install a parallel "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Crouton" in Unity that runs perfectly! Thanks to him, finished the initial limitations imposed by ChromeOS: the system goes from one to the other in 5 seconds and I can run all my favorite applications (LibreOffice, Skype, VLC, Firefox ...).
CONCLUSION:
An excellent extra PC for trips that will provide a good compromise between price / quality / speed / autonomy but whose satisfaction depends mainly on the type of use that we want to do. For Web use and online only: no worries. By cons, for a desktop use and offline, it will go his way or turn to alternative solutions such as "Crouton". So I put 5 stars to this very intelligent and very practical solution, which provides a "real" functional office; but it would be 3 if the latter did not exist.
