[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

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.

[STEMO]

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.

[Sir Tigger KC]

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

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.

[EMD]

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

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Thanks, chaps.

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.

[EMD]

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

You own an Acer, Mr EMD?

[zirk]

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 ? 

[TheBoy]

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.
