NOT impressed at ALL!!! I would fire the whole IT people involved in developing this program. I happen to have a Gateway Windows laptop & have had NOTHING but issues down loading Google ChromeOS Flex. After this experience with Google I have change my mind about Google products & services. Window's is for me!!! I usually don't do reviews, but I had to say something about Google ChomeOS Flex. It was the most arguous experience I ever have had with down loading. I would never recommend Google ChromeOS Flex to ANY of my friends or family. I just could not ever do!!!!
