Excellent battery life - the battery life is around 9 to 10 hours. This is great for teens who want to take the chromebook to college or school all day. A fully charged battery should last them for as long as they need it.

Keyboard and Trackpad- the keyboard is really comfortable and easy to use. The Toshiba chromebook uses the space available perfectly. There is a nice space at the front of the keyboard to rest your hands as you type. The keys are spaced the perfect size apart and typing feels really nice, easy and comfortable. Great for typing and doing homework and assignments. The trackpad is also great, big and easy to use. It works well and has a texture which provides excellent traction. |
