Don't need any bells and whistles.
Are these fit for purpose or just cheap crap?
From the limited reviews I've read most say they are 'quick' and easy to use.
-
If it's for you: adequate.
If it's for Mrs Opti: nowhere near heavy enough.
HTH

Depends what you want to do with it.
In a nut shell a Chrome Book is an Android App Tablet, so its all down to the Apps.
If you to do any Processing or Windows use, you be better of with a Windows Tablet.

I think Mrs Opti could get a good spin going on one of those! :y

Be aware you cant plug printers / scanners in, so you will need a 'google cloud print' enabled printer if you want to print from it.

Yep. It's a glorified tablet with no usable storage, everything will be stored in heaven.

Ive had one for nearly 3 yrs now and no problems at all . Free lifetime antivirus :y

Thanks, chaps. :y
I can buy a 15.6" Acer for £239 less £20 voucher .......so £219.
It can't be long before somebody comes along to inform me that Acer are a pile of unreliable crap. :)

It does what it says on the tin with no problems hassle free :)

You own an Acer, Mr EMD?

Not sure I'f be parting with 200+ quid for an Acer or any Android Tablet for that matter.

So a wifi printer/scanner wouldn't work with it ? :-\
-
Best avoided, as Chromebooks really are, well, shite. If you *MUST* have one, get a reputable brand, which rules out Acer.
A Windows i3 based laptop should easily come in at around £300 for a branded model, and just for EMD, all versions of Windows desktop have come with free, lifetime AV for years.

Only if it supports Google Print. In the same way a MacBook needs a printer that supports AirPrint.
