Pros & Cons
Pros
Bought this after returning the toshiba chromebook 2. Much sturdier than our previous chromebook although not being able to charge via micro-usb is a bummer. But i wonder if chrome os is ready for prime time.
The glass trackpad feels incredibly precise. The glass touchpad is wonderful, the picture is 1% worse than the toshiba chromebook 2. The trackpad is nice and as well. But this dell has a trackpad that rivals the mbp.
The toshiba cb13 has a faster processor than the toshiba cb2. The screen is on par with the retina on my macbook.
The backlit keyboard is very clicky and responsive. The ambient light sensor seems to work well. The matte finish allows great viewing angles regardless of surrounding light.

This is the only disappointment for me with the dell.

Price
Easily comparing to the macbook but at 1/2 the price is an excellent value prospect.
Shipping
Shipping to mexico took a bit too long.
Competitiveness
However the excellent keyboard and superior build quality are worthy features that certainly make the cb13 worth consideration ... Read More

Cons:storage - 16gb is next to nothing in terms of internal storage, especially with today's high-quality media.
A micro-sd slot is available for expansion, however, which i would prefer over a full-size sd card because i use a micro sd in ... Read More
