ASUS 15.6" ChromeBook C523NA (Intel Celeron N3350, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB eMMC, Chrome OS), Silver

I bought this Chromebook as I have recently become blind in one eye and needed a replacement for my andriod tablet which I can no longer see clearly. I choose this for the large screen and accessibilty options but I was very much looking at a windows laptop. This is half the money (if not less) and although I've only had it just over 24 hours I am not disappointed!!!Move over windows, this boots quicker, it is so much easier to set up and if, like me, you work mostly with web based software then this is your answer. It's very portable and light and has great battery life, (I charged it up yesterday and it hit full power within the hour and so far its been used for a 5 hour stint at work and two netflix movies and it's only at 44% battery.If you're not familiar with chrome OS then you'll be surprised at how fantastically well it works with your android mobile. You can set it up so they 'talk' together and there great feautres like automatically connecting to your mobile hotspot, which is great if you're on the go. You can also send and recieve text messages from your chromebook, which is great for me as my mobile is now too small for me to see the font when texting.The accessibilty options are really good. In fact I'm writing this using the speech to text input as I struggle to see a keyboard in certain light. With one click you can switch on screen reading and if you need larger font then from the settings you can increase this system wide.I'd always been sceptical of chromebooks, thinking they were for the young student. But in fact, I now feel these are the way forward.Overall a neat little piece of kit, which has just made my life a hell of a lot easier!

As the title says, no issues doing web browsing and using Google docs. Not a single hiccup, and battery life is great. Sometimes the device can be a bit slow to start up depending on what apps you left open before closing the device. But once it gets going, it's a very smooth experience.Keyboard is better than what I expected at this price point, it has enough feedback on the keys for even prolonged typing sessions to not feel like a chore (and I say this after using a mechanical keyboard all day at work, and if not that a £1000 business laptop).Speakers are quite tinny sounding however, and the screen seems to have a very cold hue to it. My only complaints.

Great little machine good screen size and battery life I bought wireless mouse to go with it as I don’t like using touch pads Well worth the money

While this laptop seems like a really good laptop for students, it is slow and glitchy and cuts out - it’s been this way since i got it but I thought, ‘hey ho it’s cheap I’ll make do’ but literally the DAY my warranty expired, it died. It completely died, I have tried everything and it is all hopeless, took it to be repaired to be told this happens all the time with these chromebooks. I had a lot of stuff on there and used it regularly, but not constantly, so I’m very disappointed. Better to invest your money on a more expensive one, or you’ll end up buying a new laptop in 2 years time!!!!

Bought this chromebook off Amazon Warehouse, id like to say its a great little machine at a bargain price! It starts up fast plays games i want to play (usually FB games). Battery last a good few hours and charges very quickly. Screen good size too which is what i wanted and with Google you can alter size of print to make it bigger easier to read. Great little machine at a great price, Would recommend for anyone who just wants a quick little machine you can open and use!! No fancy apps running constantly in background slowing machine down!

So, I bought this laptop for myself for university, as i needed a new laptop after my house burnt down a few months ago, it wasn't great. But the laptop itself is decent, its fast and does was a student needs it to do...HOWEVER, Yesterday on the 29th of september, My laptop ( not even a week old ) had an issue, The screen turned black while i was working for a few seconds (it didn't reset , just a black screen) Then it went back to normal, untill 2 minutes pass and it happens again. I then reset the laptop and it hasn't happened since. I've called ASUS and they said it could be a hardware defect, but what am i supposed to do? Send it back and have nothing to use at Uni for a few weeks?? I don't know if this issue is going to happen again, nor do i know if its a problem anyone else has ran into.

This chromebook is a change from my previous windows laptop. The bulk of the features are the same & if you're used to using google then you will pick up on the small changes quickly & easily enough. It's a nice size, runs smoothly & is perfect for someone like myself who wants a laptop for everyday browsing, shopping, checking emails etc.

I paid £199 for mine , I see it's double that now. It worked ok, screen was not great. But it packed up all of a sudden and after the keyboard wouldn't work it then would not turn on. It could be worse but I don't think a device should work only 3 years. I paid less for a better quality Toshiba Chromebook some years ago so worth shopping around
