Nice little package, it came in a cleverly designed box, at least I thought. The unit itself is quite simple. Basic black, no logos, designs or anything on the cover. I didn't measure but it appears to be around a 13 inch screen or so (I am sure I could look up screen size easy enough) and has a typical qwerty keyboard, however, due to the size it lacks the number pad, which kinda sucks, but it's understandable.
The device feels solid, and has a rubbery feeling exterior, I really like the feel of it. So many laptops feel like something you need to treat so gingerly, this feels stronger to me.
It is a cloud computing laptop, and that's it. It's a Chrome browser with a laptop hooked up to it. So local file management is a non-starter, no disk drives of any sort, and only one, single, lonely USB port on the right side, and, somewhat surprisingly, a VGA 15pin video out on the left. I am not sure why I am surprised by that, but I was. The touchpad is pretty bad; one good thing is that the clicks you can actually feel, which I like, but there are no mouse buttons on it...it takes some getting used to.
Setup was quite simple, set up your local network, which, stupidly in my opinion, is only able to be done via WiFi, no ethernet connection, log in to your Google Account and you are off and running. You can log in as a guest, but, as such, you can not save bookmarks or do anything personalizing.
Opinions will be coming in the future, this article is being written on the device and I am still using it and forming opinions. Thus far, it's positive over all, except for the sucky touchpad.
