Thanks to nnj10: You can also use O2 priority to knock off another £10,j ust need to find an item costing 1p to qualify though.
Anyone wanting to purchase this only and also wanting to use O2 priority moments, just ask for a carrier bag. I just purchased this, the carrier bag was 8p and the £10 was discounted no problem. £140.07 so very pleased.

I've got a Toshiba Chromebook and its great. But you'd be advised to get one with 4gb ram. 2gb will struggle with multiple applications.

Toshiba should number their revisions better. Lots of versions now all with similar names. AFAIK, it goes
-Toshiba Chromebook
-Toshiba Chromebook 2 (2014) - 2gb + non full-HD screen
-Toshiba Chromebook 2 (2014) - 4gb + Full HD screen
I still have the original one, which I find to be excellent.

Is this a good Chromebook and what's the difference between this and laptop?

According to reviews, it is meant to be the best sub-£200 Chromebook out there. The difference is that Chromebooks use the Google operating system, and are mainly used for surfing the web- the applications and your files tend to be saved into a cloud. Laptops generally use a Windows operating system- be warned sub £200 laptops generally are poorly built with cheap parts used.

Don't think of it as a laptop more a more user friendly tablet
Afraid not, no chromebooks do as far as I'm aware

Hi jonicholls as is common with other Chromebooks, this does not have an optical drive.

Chromebooks are amazing pieces of kit!! if all you do is surf the net,back up photos,bank,emails etc etc Chromebooks are the fastest and easiest way to do so!! most people only require a chromebook but think they need a massive desktop!

Zoso touched on this above, I'm really keen on getting a chromecast for WordPress development, as it's primarily done online, would 2gb be sufficient for say, 3 chrome tabs and Google music and notepad++?
