I got it on sale - amazingly good configuration for right at $200, but wasn't sure I'd actually use it.
I've tried using an iPad, and just found it impractical for how I work.
I've tried the Samsung Tablet - same thing.
This Chromebook - Acer - has a nice big 15" touch screen, is very slim and lightweight, and does everything I need it to do.
Since I'm using Google apps more and more, it just makes sense.
The only thing I miss is Microsoft Office, but I can use the online apps for that.
The battery life is amazing --- I charge it fully overnight, and don't have to charge it again for 3 or 4 days of moderate use.
One of the best things I like though, is even when it's turned off (not just in sleep mode because the lid is closed) it turns on in mere seconds and is ready to go, while my much more expensive Windows laptop seems to take forever.
