Good post, Red Ryder. I would gladly take it off your hands if you could figure out how to get it to me in Mexico. I'm running all over the place trying to buy one that I like.
Now then, I did some research on your rig. Your Chromebook is a well-made device with a good price at the time (2014. Prices have dropped since then.) As with every cheap laptop, different parts are cheapened up to keep the price down.
You have one of the finest screens that a Chromebook can have. As a result, more power must be diverted to the screen. Your CPU is a Samsung brand that is designed to be stable, but not fast. One review said that whenever you try two tasks at once, you slow down. That's where your problem is.
But you have one of the better keyboards and scroll pads that cheap laptops have, and a good cooling system ought to make you last a lot longer than most.
In every cheap laptop, every good point must be paid for by cheapening up something else to hold down the price. Overall, I think that you did well with your purchase.
