Just ordered one for free pick up at Argos - been looking at a Chromebook - worth a punt at this price just to see if it suits me - nothing to lose at that price.

Citrix doesn't work well on chromebooks. My work says that the encryption level is too low

Orange - although not really bothered about the colour.

Got one and love it, it has become my main machine. over 7hrs battery life, near silent, no heat. Fantastic.
Only let down is the screen really, would love a FHD one, but for this price, grab it

Hello benja, can you upgrade the SSD? also change the OS to windows?

I honestly don't know. I tried taking it apart to have a look one day last year when I was bored at work, but after taking out the 9 screws on the bottom I chickened out. Nothing like a regular laptop which is pretty straight forward.
It seems pretty tough to do, again when compared to a standard lappy anyway

I think this is a decent machine if you can upgrade to a M.2 128 SSD and RAM and change the OS to windows all for less than £200.

Then you'd lose all the benefits of having a Chromebook.

No, your adding to the experience. You will be getting an ultra lightweight 14'' PC with 7 hours battery life (maybe less) with 128 SSD and 4GB RAM with Windows for less than £200.
