Fabulous 2 in 1 computer

I've had my Chromebook Plus ASUS CM3401 for two weeks now and have been using it daily for tasks relating to my business including using uploading and editing photos, Excel, email and internet browsing. Here are my honest thoughts
I was initially concerned that the setup would be difficult coming from a windows based laptop previously. Aside from a lengthly update at startup I was pleasantly surprised at how straightforward it was. It's also fabulous that it has built-in virus protection so there goes that yearly expense!
I can't fault the speed and storage capabilities of this machine, it does everything I need and more. Many programs such as those from the Microsoft Office suite can be downloaded with ease from the app store so I can still do everything I did before switching to the Chrome OS. Start up is super quick as is switching between and starting up programs.
Battery life is incredible, I use this for hours daily and only need to charge it once every few days. Charging to full battery life is quite quick too.
I also love that it can be folded and used as a tablet, it's perfect for when I want to sit on the couch!
The only pitfalls (and they are minor) is that the machine is a little heavier than I expected but the trade-off there is a solid feeling machine that is well-made and sturdy, not cheap or flimsy feeling like other sone laptops. The screen can throw quite a bit of glare in direct light but is otherwise great quality with clear and sharp inages. Aside from this I highly recommend this Chromebook, I'm very happy with it.
