Yes - it's a great little bit of electronics.

However, keep something in mind. It doesn't use Windows or OSX.

Basically all it is is Google Chrome. Download the browser, play around with add-ons and extensions, and decide if that's all you need. If you can live with having Google Drive instead of MS Office, and don't need to download a bunch of files (you have no desktop), then you'll love it.
