Yeah Chrome is the OS, but it's completely different than anything I've used. It kinda reminds me of windows 8, but with less functionality.
I bought it because it was cheap and would do what I needed it to do. I didn't want anything super expensive, and didn't need TOO much power because it's going to be used mostly just for school stuff.
I'm not planning on moving any neo things at all over here, much easier to get things done when I don't have any other distractions in the background lol. I figured out the google versions of microsoft office, and have a standalone notepad app that I use a lot for taking notes about things. Overall Im pretty happy with it.
