Tried another brand and had to return it because of ongoing issues. Concierge service from purchaser sucks. Had to call in someone to try to fix transfer of computer info. Other than that 1 issues, great product. Jush wish it had background lighting but prefer black keyboard ad so few out there. Other product had white with light grey letters. Awful if your a senior. We're the ones that buy them (more expendable income) and no one ever takes our age issues into consideraton.

Well the time i believe has come to retire this machine. Was hoping to buy a newer model of it but does not appear they are made anymore. This computer has been great really no issues until the last year when the memory ran out i had to wipe the computer, then no longer receives chrome updates due to age and now randomly just shuts off. I do believe this machine served its purpose as a web browser and a youtube machine for my son threw preschool and now into 3rd grade. I will look for another chrome base type machine.

I've had my LG Chromebox for about two or three years now. When I first got the device, it suited basic internet access needs. But it was a little sluggish. It has, however, recently received a bunch of updates and it runs like a champ now. Sure, it takes a little getting used to, especially if you are used to Windows, but it covers all the basics. I'm happy with it!

I loved this computer which I bought in 2015. Although ever since I got it, I've has a annoying hum that happens every time the mouse is activated (moved). But I could only hear it when the room was very quiet. But beginning about a year ago and especially in June of 2018, this computer has been increasingly sluggish. I guess the internet has generally evolved to the point where 2 GB of RAM is just not enough. It started with freezes occurring with multiple tabs opened, but now it's gotten to the point where even with one or two tabs open, the cursor and everything freezes and after about one or two minutes of not responding to any commands, the whole thing just either shuts off or power cycles itself. I've done a factory reset and powerwashed this computer, but it's still working so bad that I need to upgrade. This computer it definitely past its useful life. But I love the all-in-one concept so I'll purchase another similar machine now.

This product will give you the most trouble you've ever experienced in your life. Constant freezing, constant issues connecting to printers, such little range and a serious inability to even operate beyond 2 tabs. It's a wonder what purpose a computer like this could possibly serve. I wouldn't wish this product on my worst enemies. It's a useless computer, I urge you to purchase something else.

Hardware failure at six months. Sent back twice. Offered full refund since they had stopped manufacturing and had no spare parts. Bought this mainly because of it's large screen size, price point and Android. Replaced a chrome book. Inadequate memory (2GB

Very efficient and easy to use. I like it alot better than my last computer which had a disk drive. The screen is bigger than I like, because of that it gets 4 not 5 stars.

This product is very well done. It does exactly what I need it to do, and does exactly what the official page says it does. That being said, it's a little pricy for what it is. Because it's running on chrome, it does not have many features outside of the Internet, meaning you can buy a Windows computer or even a different chromebook and have the exact same features for a cheaper price. Because of this, I'm going to give it a 3/5 star rating. If the price was dropped, I would easily give this product a 4/5 or even a 5/5.

My husband needed an upgrade from his 8 year old computer. After looking at a variety of options, he landed on the LG Chromebase. Its attractive design caught his eye, and the idea of a simple and easy interface helped him make his choice. He is very happy with the decision. His computing needs are basic - mostly email, some photos, web surfing and Youtube videos. Based on this, Chrome OS is a great choice for him. The Chromebase was easy to assemble. It was together in a few moments. It feels sturdy. Its sleek and pleasing design look great sitting in our living room. The machine boots up lightning fast, thanks to the SSD and lightweight OS. My husband was quickly connected and able to being enjoying his new device, with easy access to his Google photos and other familiar apps. A few new apps were easily added from the Chrome Web Store. While I have no beef with Windows (we do have a few Windows 8 machines in the house,) I must say that it was nice to purchase a machine "off the shelf" without having to spend time uninstalling bloatware. Display quality and keyboard feel were important in my husband's decision. Like anyone, he has his own views on what looks good and feels best to him. We both find the Chromebase's display to be bright and crisp with low glare. Colors look good from various angles. The Chromebase's keyboard has the kind of feel that is comfortable for him. (He is a "heavy handed" typist.) He had a very easy time adjusting to its layout. He also has found the various shortcut keys to be very useful. The sound quality is probably the weak point of the machine. While he could have lived with it (it isn't horrible, just not all that great,) he did choose to hook up an external speaker, which can be done via Bluetooth or via cable. (There is a 3.5mm output jack on the side of the Chromebase.) From my perspective, I was a little unsure about the Celeron processor and only 2 Gigs of RAM. However, I had to keep in mind that this hardware is powering the very lightweight Chrome OS. My concerns have been dispelled as I've watched how well it has performed. The Intel Celeron 2955U may not have all of the features of higher end chips, but it is certainly enough to power the Chromebase and to provide for its intended use of simple and basic cloud-based computing. Indeed, it is a common choice for Chrome OS based machines, and fills that bill well. The Chromebase comes with a wired (USB) keyboard and mouse. While this is not a deal breaker, an out-of-the-box wireless solution for these devices would be a nice touch. The LG Chromebase is a great value. Chrome OS is an excellent platform for my husband. LG's machine performs well and looks great. We own several LG products and have always been happy with them. The Chromebase has been a good addition to that list.

We decided to replace all our computers with Chrome OS after we tested Windows 10 and it turned out to be the same obsolete philosophy. Small Chromebooks are easy to find (wish LG made), but or 23-inch desktop all-in-ones were tough to replace until LG made its Chromebase and we bought two of the black models. Great buy after a few months. It takes a bit getting used to, but Chrome OS has been such a joy and relief to join modern computing without all the headaches. Pros: This computer is packed really well. Assemble the stand with 5 screws, plug in the keyboard+mouse, and its ready to go. The big screen is perfect and we didn't even miss the couple inches smaller from our old computers. Plug in power and in two seconds it starts, then access your network or wi-fi, go through the few Google setup screens; and you are up and running same as your Chrome on other computers. It's that easy! The monitor tilt and clarity is super sharp with a screen control menu LG did a great like the old CRT's control. Going from Chrome to monitor mode is one-touch too. The button controls are nice as a soft-touch panel instead of the normal buttons. Since they only take one USB port, you can add a Logitech wireless or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, but we added the K400r mouse pad keyboard to remove all clutter. That gives you two USB ports in the back to add large 64+ GB micro SD (with adapter) or flash drives and Wham you have ample storage. The side USB 3.0 port acts as the portable slot. The audio is clear and would be nice for more speaker power, but system has good quality sound. We have 60 GB of music and all our videos, pictures, and data transferred. Cons: 1) Only in white, the black model is getting rare and LG needs to offer black again with color alternatives. 2) The built-in keyboard has a nice feel, but mouse is noisy and both are wired. LG needed to include a one-port wireless or Bluetooth keyboard+mouse to give it the 5-star features. Wired input is obsolete 20th Century technology and not sure why LG overlooked this design for cheap? No big deal most people will want to replace with your own like we did. We are very happy an enjoy every minute using these computers and highly recommend it since even in white Chromebase is the Top Choice to modernize your home or business computing. LG needs to offer black again, upgrade the keyboard+mouse to wireless or Bluetooth, and add a larger 64 GB SSD--That would make it even more Awesome!

Excellent product. The only thing that I wish it had was a card reader. Not a big deal for $10 I was able to just plug one in. I would recommend this computer to anyone that would like a desktop computer that boots in seconds and never freezes up or slows down. Very simple to use.

Garbage. If it says Celeron on it walk right past it. It isn't 1999 and I can't figure out why computers of any brand are still using Celeron Processors. The price tag is what makes this a 3 star rating but with a processor that slow and obsolete, plan to use this pc for social media interactions only. And don't plan on having cam chats because that processor won't push it through.

I love not having to worry about virus protection the Chromebase updates automatically. Its fast very fast. There has been a small learning curve on how to download and upload photos using Google Drive but its getting easier. Still working on how to update my MP3 player on this thing, it recharges fine but how to tranfer songs I still have no idea. Not sure if the MP3 is recognized or not. Otherwise, email, surfing, playing videos, using docs is easy. If you are looking for a bsic net surfing email computer this is the way to go. Its good looking the sound is fine, keyboard is fine, mouse is ok. It has a nice monitor. I like it and I'm very happy with the purchase.

The LG Chromebase all-in-one computer is easy to set up and use in very little time. I found it very easy to set it to use wifi from a modem/router that I have for Internet access. I love the 21.5" screen, which is much bigger than the computer I have that's about seven years old. I love the many apps that came with the LG computer. I wanted to buy a new computer that's more advanced than the one I have. I like having a computer with 1080p. The computer is easy to operate and not too expensive, and affordable. The LG computer is real nice and very attractive. I love the keyboard and mouse, as well. Its much more fun seeing things, like videos on it.

Overall I am impressed with this computer and what you get for the money. It is a great computer for most people that don't really have advanced computing requirements. Setup was easy except for installing a printer which requires another more advanced computer in your local-area-network which is on all the time OR buying a printer which is setup to work using Google Print services out-of-the-box. In my case, I used a low cost HP printer which supported HP ePrint. Once ePrint was configured at hpconnected.com I was able to use the Google Print services without the need for a second computer on the network. I have had this computer for about 2 weeks now and it crashed only once when I tried to load a file which was much larger than the 2GB memory this computer has. It would be nice if LG offered a version with 4GB of memory but this was not a deal breaker for me.

I am a retired engineer and long time PC user. In recent years the PC requires attention every time you turn it on. You have to update this- then re-boot - then update that, it requires all your time and you never get to what you intended to do. Only problem I have had is the location of the "0" key on the number pad as it is BIG and get hit often unintentionally.

For the price. you simply cannot go wrong. As other reviewers agree, boot up is super fast!! I like the keyboard and mouse, and I have a small portable speaker attached, so the sound system is awesome!! I was looking for a simpler, faster, more user-friendly alternative to Windows--this is DEFINITELY it!! No more lags, freezes and failed system updates--it's all built in!! Would certainly recommend!!

Beautiful monitor. Keyboard has the rest of the "real" keys missing on most Chromebooks (like Page up/down, Delete, Home, End, and a numeric keypad). Only downside is weak volume on built-in speakers. I attached a (powered) amplified set of external speakers to fix that. (Since it is desktop, not laptop form factor, that's not a big deal.) Overall, I love it.

Great alternative to an all-in-one running the windows operating system. Cannot run windows programs but there are many free apps that will do most computing chores you may have. You will want a cloud printer for printing. Great display. Loads web pages quickly. Lousy speakers but a good bluetooth speaker is not that expensive. Great value for the price.

I really like this Chromebase. Boots up in seconds and the monitor is very nice. The only negative would be the on-board speakers could be a little better.

Just bought my wife this Chromebase after having a million issues with her Windows Acer laptop constantly getting hijacked by malware and slowing down to a crawl. This machine is super easy to use, just sign in with your email account (she has gmail) and everything just loads from the cloud and works ASAP. Google Apps are super easy to use and save $200 bucks from having to by MSFT Office which seems to be a thing of the past given all my kids now use Google Docs at school. Great value for someone that just needs access to the Chrome browser and all the web based apps available today. 100% satisfied. Hilary
