I had the same kinds of problems with my chromebook. It would freeze up, mouse pointer and all. Sometimes it would come back after a couple of minutes, other times it wouldn't. Sometimes the whole OS would die and it would reboot.
The wifi was flaky at best, often refusing to connect when my nexus 5x right beside it had no problems. Browsing the filesystem was an exercise in madness. My Amiga 500 running at 7MHz was MUCH more responsive. I used a stopwatch to time 27 seconds from double click to actual display of a jpeg image in the image viewer.
I averaged about two OS crash/forced reboots per day on it until I finally gave up and got a macbook.

It's actually been one of the best "just works" items I've bought in a while. I set up crouton so that I could use it for more than a browser, and the only piece of software that's caused any issues is WINE (though I haven't been too adventurous with the kinds of things I install on there).
