I suppose, but then you get into the game of "for just a little bit more, why don't you get this"... if you're paying £150, why not get xyz for £180 that has a better processor, etc.
Personally I think it's well balanced. I'm using one right now... screen is ok, build is ok, speed is ok, storage is ok, price is very good. I don't think that there's any one component that's worth upgrading for an additional cost. If we're talking about £150-200, I'd probably be looking at different machines entirely.

PROS:
*Its main strength is.
*its sturdiness Has sufficient horsepower.
CONS:
*Its biggest weakness is its audio. It's OK. Simply OK. Not a dealbreaker for me. But if you want top end audio-look elsewhere.
Target Demographic:
*This laptop is designed for general user who need to browse. It is possible to play some games on the machine, I even managed to edit some video but it main virtue is it's a light, well made, internet tool.
Design:
*With its rubberised or water proof keyoard it's both quite solid and sleek. A black lid, dull matte finish, and it is a pleasure to look at.
Weight:
*1.25 KGs so very portable.
Display:
*Its screen is much better than I'd anticipated: bright, brilliant colours, and no reflection. Watching films is impressive. The matte screen is fantastic and the HD quality had no laggyness. (I know it's not a word but it's difficult to describe when some screens have a little lag or slowness.)
Keyboard:
*The keyboard is good. I am a little heavy when using the keyboard. The wrist rest provides solid support and there is no noticeable flex in the keyboard. The keys are comfortable to use even for prolonged periods.
Touchpad:
*It is very responsive, and all gestures are intuitive and happen without any issues.
Heat:
*It didn't get hot or fry my legs.
Performance:
*It takes about 20 seconds to boot up - and browsing, watching video, listening to music all ran comfortably - making the N22 truly versatile.
Battery life:
*I got the advertised 14 hours out of the machine. That's unusual as most laptops promise a lot but rarely deliver.
Audio:
*This is the weak link of this beauty. I was underwhelmed by its performance. I used headphones and it was fine.
Wifi:
*works without any issues.

I've had one of these for a month. Best £100 I've spent in a while. The battery life is excellent, I've never run it dry but have come close, recharging it a couple of times a week. The trackpad is really nice, one of the best I've used in fact. For £100 it's an absolute steal. The screen is OK, a bit angle-sensitive and it is a little slow when loading heavy sites (e.g. Google Inbox which is a tough site) but I happily sit there on the sofa when watching movies on TV, blasting around the internet and missing most of the movie.

You don't need a more powerful processor on Chromebooks that's the whole idea of them.

I bought one last time around and so far I like it. The screen is not the best but it is surprisingly snappy in performance. Don't expect instant page loads and such like but you only get minimal lag. As a second device or as a substitute for a tablet it is good value for money.

HOT.

Heat added, but personally I would rather buy full HD version from Aldi for only £50 more.

A chromebook at aldi? Or a full hd Windows laptop?
I do wish Amazon had the 4gb ram version of this Lenovo but I don't think it's landing this side of the pond.

Tempted, but noticed that there are suddenly a lot of "used" ones on Amazon Warehouse. I wonder how many have been returned in the past week after the last £99 deal, and why?

With Chromebooks, it's probably mostly just people not knowing what they are buying. Probably.

I bought mine as part of the Prime Day deals and absolutely love it. I sold my Macbook to get it as I realised that most of the time I was only ever browsing the web and couldn't justify the extra! I personally also work from home using it through Citrix and this runs really smoothly. Screen isn't amazing but excellent for the price and for what most use it for. When working from home I just hook it up to the external display through the HDMI and there's quite literally no difference between this and the Macbook!
