ASUS17inch Chromebook CX1700CKA 17.3" HD+ Laptop (Intel Pentium N6000, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Chrome OS)

Needed a laptop quickly whilst mine was being repaired and saw this, saw the price and reviews and bought it.Now I’m very happy with the laptop in general, the screen is clear and it’s heavy but not so you can’t carry it comfortably in a laptop case/bag, the layout is simple but nice and the start up speed you can’t complain about at all.However … what is so annoying to me is you don’t know if you’ve got capitals unless you type and then it took me to google just to find out how to type in capitals without holding the capitals key down continuously.There is no back light on the keypad either which is annoying and would of been cheap enough to add that feature.Finally .. and I don’t understand why but the screen measured diagonally corner to corner of the screen display (measured how they do in store) it comes to 16.4” not 17” as advertised and this I’m completely flummoxed over as this is a top brand and no matter what tape measure I used or who measured it for me it still came to 16.4” (my son made it 16.5) but nonetheless it isn’t 17” close enough not to complain or return though.All in all I’m happy to use this as a comfortable spare that’s easy to navigate and has all the basic functionality you need.

An astonishing price for great quality. Totally pleased with it. Excellent service

My old laptop's fan was becoming loud and obnoxious. Being without a laptop was unthinkable. I got this one for a fraction of the price of a good Windows laptop.I'm only on day one, but I'm very pleased.Firstly, the big screen is great. It has good brightness and the colours look good. The speakers are quite loud, too. I'm watching Jack Sparrow right now and it's a great time.YouTube works fine, as does Twitch.My main concerns were a bad screen and low volume audio, as I love to watch movies on my laptop. I'm pleased to say it's perfectly suitable.I can't figure out if it's playing movies in proper HD, as it usually says HD in the movie Window, at least on Amazon. YouTube works fine when you set it to 1080p, and I can't say I notice a drop in quality.A few things to consider: Say goodbye to Windows software. This system uses ChromeOS, so you can use anything on the app store. Also gaming will be limited, though there are some games on the app store.Overall I'm pleased with this purchase, having used it for a solid five hours. As long as nothing unusual occurs, I'd be happy to keep using Chromebooks.I have my desktop PC to use resource hungry software on, but this is a great laptop for browsing and consuming media

Using this laptop to write this review. Have to say it was a good price for such a large unit but to have it on your lap while working is not comfortable. There is a bar that runs along the bottom from side to side and it has quit a sharp edge to it, digging into your leg the whole time it is sat there. I am no tech wizard so it probably does a lot more than I will ever use but for me, browsing and watching films or videos it is fine. The speakers are crap though, why put speakers on the bottom of a laptop when they get muffled by your clothing?

I love it so much.I use it for trading and it’s fantastic
