The '628GB Storage' is not one large internal drive; it is a small 128GB chip for the OS, plus a separate 500GB external drive you must plug in and carry around.

Anyone needing to multitask with several browser tabs and a document will find the 4GB of RAM a severe bottleneck. Users who can spend slightly more for a model with 8GB of RAM will have a dramatically better experience. Many would be better served by a Chromebook at this price for superior performance on equivalent hardware.
