I bought this on Thursday, delivered friday on the standard delivery of £5. It is the 4gb ram, 1080p screen version that is at least £229 new
I am insanely happy with it.
I also got a couple of quid from Quidco.
A chromebook is pretty much perfect for most people and especially for kids/ teenagers who need to browse the web and do some homework. Google docs will export to MS Office formats so no worries there.
For work, i use web based systems so this is perfect for having with me just in case i need to log in and do a few things, no need to carry around my mac. The battery life is superb too.
The apps work offline generally so you don't have to be connected.

Will this model get Android app support? Great price, but I think the app support is a key decider now for me. voted hot though!

no, i don't think it will get android app support.
I figured that i'd see how much use it got by me and then consider buying one with android app support (maybe the flip to replace my n7 that is nearly 3 years old now)
Um. I bought a chromebook less than a fortnight ago and I'm impressed, it will do most of what I want it to do, but it isn't as good as this one. Should I buy this?. The main consideration is whether the Mrs would strangle me should another one turn up at the door.

awesome! Have had my HP Chromebook for a few years & been waiting for a decent deal on a FHD screen one. This will do nicely, ordered one to be delivered tomorrow, thanks!

I'd like this for the money!
Is it an impressive screen? quick with 4gb ram?
