Orbic Chromebook

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I especially needed cellular networking and a tablet wasn't adequate for my needs. I'm concerned about the overall build quality as this seems to be largely plastic, unlike my older Chromebook with its metal case. In my first weeks of use, it was easy to set up with my Google account and services, and it is has adequate performance. It seems capable of good video streaming and online gaming may be adequate for casual users, but serious gamers and video viewers may find this model a little inadequate. It may not be good for a business user but it is relatively compact, so if portability and size is as important as cellular networking and integrated keyboard and trackpad, this may work well enough. I urge caution against dropping and impacts to the case; all laptop designs have risks in the hinge areas, corners, and screen. It should survive lesser bumps but I am not sure about hard impacts. (At least there's no hard drive to crash!)

I wish I could have tried it first. The volume is too low. I can't heat the sound with it all the way up.

Based on our reviews of the product we found Orbic Chromebook to be top of class for form factor, battery and connectivity. The fact that this Chromebook is also very affordable compared to many other close competitors made the choice even that much easier!

Finally a great value Chromebook! I had the chance to do a user trial on this Chrombook and love it, the key pad is very responsive and feels good to type on! The battery will last a solid days use, They audio is really good for watching Youtube and Netflix!
