5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Chromebook

I bought this to replace a MacBook which died on me after 8 yrs service☹️In the interim I had also had a laptop which died after a much shorter time😣 so I thought I would try a Chromebook🤞. So far I am very pleased with this, nice size, fantastic price , 1/5 🤩of what I was expecting if I had replaced it with a MacBook, so simple to set up and start using, I was genuinely shocked after an initial charge, I was up and running within 10 minutes🙂, a couple of software updates later, it’s all running superbly. Keyboard is a nice and suits my typing style👇👇👇. My use is mainly for word processing documents and work stuff - no CAD stuff and no games so I can’t comment on how it would perform with that. Screen is big enough for my failing eyesight 🤣. All in all I am delighted so far and actually prefer it to its predecessors.👍

Bought this because i had an extended stay in hospital recently,good value for money,some things you can't do because it's a chromebook,but for 200 pounds and especially when it offers the pay monthly deal,which i took,40 a month for 5 months,impressive little laptop and better than some at double the price.

A very reliable and quick laptop for day to day use, Such good value for under £200.Very handy for google browsing and storing media files with USB inputs.Fairly light in weight so good for mobility.I recommend this machine especially if you are on a budget and undemanding for ultra high performance or expensive brand

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Chromebook with sharp display and good keyboard

The build quality is excellent and solid. The screen is clear and bright and the keyboard is positive. As with all Chromebooks the setup works well. I'm not a big fan of ChromeOS but it is easy enough to enable Linux if you prefer. Overall, at this price point, I am very happy. Time will tell but it is a good start.

1.0 out of 5 stars Faulty so Returned

M. · 17 April 2025

I got this on black Friday for my husband's Christmas present, luckily it came with an extended return window.It seemed very good at first easy to set up, it had a good battery life and was fast but after a while became obvious it had a constant issue staying connected to the internet, and kept showing error messages saying there was a connection problem.I followed all the trouble shooting suggestions, I googled for more tips, changed settings and disconnected other media (which was working and had no problems staying connected to the internet) so this laptop had no competition for our WiFi but it still failed to stay connected. After a couple of weeks of trying and failing I decided to return it while I still could. I then purchased a replacement from a popular high street shop and have had no issues with that at all.There was something not right with this laptop but it was reassuring that Bolo offer a good return policy compared to shops.

The issues with Chromebook operating system is a real nuisance, I have worked with Chrome for years but never found it challenging as an environment until switching to Chromebook.I'm not that keen on windows either because of the data harvesting that goes on because it means I have to turn off loads of cookies or delete them every week.So this has been demoted to the second back up laptop and I have purchased a Notebook as well.However, HP is great, easy to setup and obviously as a repeat purchaser the quality is good value for money.

I've had this chrome book a while now and I am still impressed with it. The screen is very clear and the keyboard has a nice feel to type on.I've noticed a huge difference in the speed from my old chrome book and it feels so light, so easy to transport around.I've played some videos and the sound quality is good, I would watch a film easily on this device.
