Toshiba Chromebook 2

If you need a portable, sleek, and outstanding laptop this is the right product for you. The Toshiba Chromebook 2 has a new cutting edge silver color and is very lightweight and thin which makes it extremely easy to transport to school, on business trips and pretty much wherever you need to go. An added feature is that there is a camera at the top of the screen that is used for taking videos and pictures. The laptop screen is a great size at 13.3 inches and this makes viewing very easy. This laptop can be used by both kids and parents because despite it being a very cost effective computer, it has a more than adequate processor, has a 4 gigabyte memory, works quickly and efficiently and has a lengthy battery life. In addition, many laptop review sites, give the Toshiba Chromebook 2 the highest rating in Chromebooks and is considered a great value for its reasonable price.

I am a 12 year old girl and was begging my parents for a laptop because of the problems we were having with sharing our family computer. With both my big sisters away at school with their laptops, my twin sister and I were constantly fighting over our family computer. It all began when we got to the middle school and were told that most of our curriculum would be online utilizing Google docs. Google Docs allows you to save all your homework, drafts, essays, etc. in one personal account creating a very efficient way to organize your work. My sister and I would come home from school and race to see who would get to the computer first. It wasn’t long before my parents began researching the cost of getting two computers. Since both my older sisters have Macs, at first they thought they were looking at an expense of over $1,000 per computer. This was not something they were happy about. I told them that the teachers were recommending Chromebooks because they were reasonably priced and would be sufficient for our needs.

After doing a lot of online research and going to various stores such as Best Buy and Staples, my mother determined that the most important criteria in purchasing a Chromebook was that it needed at least 4 gigabytes, a large screen, and it needed to be very easy to transport. My mom looked at a lot of online reviews and the Toshiba Chromebook 2 was consistently rated the top 1 or 2 chromebooks on such sites as laptopmag.com and pcmag.com. With its high reviews and the fact that it was during the holidays and there were some sales going on, she went ahead and purchased two Toshiba Chromebook 2 laptops for my sister and I.

I love this laptop and have enjoyed having my own computer that I do not need to share with everyone. Homework has now been a much better and quieter experience in my house and I love the ease at which I can save all of my work. However, there are some things that I would like to see improved upon. I don’t like that the computer keyboard does not light up when I want to see the keyboard at night. Also, on occasion I have had difficulty connecting to the internet.

All in all, I give this laptop a rating of 4.5 out of 5. I recommend this laptop to anyone who is looking for a great product.
