Definitely agree!
I only turn on my windows laptop now to download things.
7-8hr battery life, silent, fast, super quick boot. The only compromise is the screen isn't as good as I would like. Would love a FHD screen on one.

same here. The windows laptop is generally only used for printing and photo editing, although there is some free software compatible with the chromebook for that purpose.

I put Ubuntu 15.10 on a HP Chromebook 14 a couple days ago. Worked extremely well, was very brisk and I even got Skype working. It naturally dual booted with ChromeOS. The only issues were a non functioning trackpad, which with a bit of scripting and more time I'm sure I'd get it working, and the boot up time is considerably longer due to waiting for the OS verification screen to be dismissed.

I agree, Chromebooks are good. Performance on this won't be particularly strong with Tegra K1 processor, battery life will though.

do you manage to print over WiFi with a 'standard' printer? I've never been able to get my printer to connect

Love my Chromebook. Looking for a 1080p upgrade though.

The new Dells are 1080p. Not cheap though.

I bought this one from John Lewis for £199.00 it was open box offer. Is this better from Acer?
