I received my unit Friday night and have been using it for a number of different things such as watching HD shows on Netflix and streaming music on Pandora and Google Play Music. After all the stress testing I've put it through the device has stood up pretty well. Battery life has been great and the Operating System is  a bit of a change from Windows 7 but after a bit of usage it becomes easier to use. 

If you are a student or looking for a computer for productivity then I highly recommend getting a Chromebook. The 11.6 inch size is the perfect size to carry around and use and It's light enough to where carrying it for a long amount of time doesn't get tiring. I asked around to different people and found out what they thought about the idea of a Chromebook, the results where as follows.

When asked if they would rather use a windows computer for their basic web surfing needs or switch to a Chromebook at a cheaper in not equal price and most of the people responded with staying with their current computer because they don't want to take the time to learn a whole new operating system. 
While the other half of the people said that they would switch to Chrome OS just to try it.
