This is just great...I've used it for about two months now.
It's lightweight, the perfect size screen, and I haven't had any problems with it being refurbished. It performs just like a new laptop. The colors are crisp on the display, the keyboard is nice and the battery life is excellent. The aluminum exterior is much nicer than other Chromebooks I've had.
This Chromebook also didn't come with as much drive storage as the first one did and after the first 2 years you'll have to pay is the only downside I can find. I've made other family members jealous with my purchase because this one is much more efficient than their purchases for much more money. I got a Chromebook, a case, and a mouse to go with, all for $250. Free shipping too...that's just great for what you get.
UPDATE:
I'm about 6 mos in and it's working flawless......love this machine. No probs with refurbish....I've added linnux operating system in addition to chrome using Crouton and by upgrading to the Canary build I've also added the ability to add any app from the google apps store. I can also access my desktop at work through chrome remote desktop, and instantly have dual monitors. HOME RUN on this machine google!! For the price it can't be beat. HD screen to boot...c'mon man.
UPDATE 2:
I'm more than a year in and this Chromebook is still going strong. For the price, this is has probably been the best tech buy ever. The new ones are more expensive and I just don't see how you could improve on the experience other than working with Microsoft and making Office available. The online versions that you can access aren't nearly as adequate as the offline versions. Fortunately I can access my work computer remotely, so it's a moot point but if I didn't have that available, this might not be such a great purchase. Crazy light though, crazy good display, and with the aluminum frame crazy durable. It's just like the day I bought it and I've far exceeded my money's worth on it.
