Question 2

Is this chromebook set up for both cable and wifi?

Accepted Answer

I think it is just wifi. There is no ethernet slot if that is what you mean by cable. I don't believe there are any compatible usb adapters for Chrome OS but if you plan to switch to linux you may be able to figure something out.

Question 3

What is the condition of the battery? Has it been replaced? The whole purpose of a laptop is the mobility factor, if the battery is old, it will not last more then a couple of hours if that.

Mine performs at new capacity. They claim 11.5 hours and have gotten that or very near on multiple occasions.
This has been a great purchase, love the 15.6 screen too.
