Anyone got one of these?

I fancy getting one to replace my 11" HP Chromebook which is on the blink. Seems rather cheap and I just wonder why?

In short in my opinion, it's cheap because it's quite cheap. It's a perfectly adequate chrome book and will browse the Internet and do word processing etc. As long as you do more than one or two things at once.
The screen isn't great but fine, the chip fine (AMD chips are a little cheaper than intels normally for the same spec).
My guess why they've reduced it is that a new one is coming out and they're shifting stock.

My old one is fine apart from having a smaller screen and the mousepad isn't working. I have just hooked up a mouse to the USB port temporarily. My old one will be relegated to a backup for the future.
