I like it, and I understand its limits

Pros: Small, light, runs cool (cooler than any laptop I've owned.) Superfast boot. Sharp display. Not bad build quality. Excellent buy for $199. No virus vulnerability. No Windows-related sluggishness over time.
Cons: Chrome, as an OS, still needs a lot of work. File management is primitive. It's got this sizeable hard drive, but it's really best to focus on cloud storage. I like wireless mice. My 1st one (a Logitech) worked poorly. A different model Logitech works perfectly. Weakest feature of the hardware, by far, is the speakers. Their poor quality an badly located. Basically useless.
Overall Review: I have this, a good Toshiba laptop, and an iPad. I spent about 90% of my computing time on this machine. Perfect for writing (Google Docs) and for pretty much anything you can do in a browser. Most of the limits are inherent to the CHromebook concept. Just make sure you understand what you can and can't do with a Chromebook.
Two stopped working

Pros: I like the substantial rubbery body.
Cons: I've had two of these that have stopped functioning after a few months of use, in one case, and two or three weeks in the other case. Corsair offered to replace these. Happily, I had backups of the data. I'm not sure what the problem is. I've owned other thumb drives and haven't had these issues.
Stopped working with Windows 7 upgrade

Pros: Light, cheap. Works under Windows XP.
Cons: I used the drive to upgrade my netbook to Windows 7. Ironically, once Win 7 was loaded, it would not longer recognize the drive. Lite-On's website is not helpful and the email I sent to Support has gone unacknowledged for 3 days.
Overall Review: Maybe a driver will pop-up at some point, but not so far.
Favorite

Pros: Small. Terrific durable cap that fits a keychain well. Cap snaps on firmly. Very visible "working" light. Sturdy and solid.
Cons: I've never noted slowness or timed it, but I've also never been frustrated waiting on it to finish a read or write.
Overall Review: Really surprised at the number of negative reviews. I've used dozens of thumb drives and have owned two of these, kept on my key ring, for a couple of years. Never had a problem with this model, something I can't say of many others I've used. I have a bad habit of jerking the thing out the USB port without "ejecting" it and have never lost a bit of data as a result.
Unreliable

Pros: Great, rubberized thing going on.
Cons: I've had three and they've all failed prematurely. I've not had this problem with many other brands I've tried.
Hate to go against the grain...

Pros: Very solid construction. Love the rubberized casing.
Cons: I've owned three of these, two that were 1Gb and one that's 2Gb. All three of them quit working after several weeks. None of my computers would recognize them when I plugged them in. In fairness, I sometimes pull these out of the USB ports without going through the "Safely remove..." routine. But, still, I also owned about a half-dozen flash drives by other manufacturers and haven't had the trouble. I also will add that when I contacted Corsair about the problem they quickly offered to send a replacement.
