This is a Chromebook with a 14" full HD non-IPS screen. It is the cheapest new Chromebook I can find with a full HD screen. The price was initially £276. This has now dropped to £240.

The specification is:

Intel Celeron N2940 (1.83GHz, 2MB), 35.56 cm (14 ") FHD SVA eDP WLED UWVA anti-glare (1920 x 1080), 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3L SDRAM, 32GB eMMC, Intel HD Graphics, 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.0, webcam, Chrome OS

A Chromebook is really good for the stuff that you can do in a WWW browser. You get a nice screen and a proper keyboard. It has a low power CPU so the battery life is good, but it has a lightweight operating system which is responsive, even with a slow CP. You might need to choose a printer carefully, as not all will work simply from a Chromebook.

The good bits are that you can turn them on and be ready to type in 10 seconds, and you get none of the maintenance, update and malware hassles from Windows.

PC World has an Acer CB3-431 for £280

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/acer-cb3-431-14-full-hd-chromebook-silver-10148244-pdt.html which has an aluminium case, and a full HD screen but it doesn't have very wide viewing angles.

Technoworld are an HP Gold partner, based in London. They seem to have a reasonable reputation.

I bought an HP Chromebook 13 from them. They had the price wrong on their web site so they cancelled my order. Hopefully this price it right! I got it sorted out in the end though and their customer service was excellent - quite a rare thing these days.

Do you have any specific apps you need to run for your course?

I know some people on my course use them and they're happy for web browsing, email, essay writing and simple functions.

They do come a bit unstuck with running MS Office apps though. Google Docs does ok with some files and can export to MS Office compatible formats so you aren't without options but if you're collaborating with others it's not as straightforward as just working on a file in the MS Office environment.

My daughter used a Toshiba Chromebook 2 for sixth form, and by and large, it was great. She would charge it up every so often, turn it on, and start typing. I did no maintenance on it for the year. There were no times when she lost work, after overwriting files while transferring from one computer to a USB key to another. She had wifi access most of the places where she would want to use it. You can also set a document up for offline access.

She had some documents that were distributed as Word files. When you are online, you can view these with the Office online site.

My son bought a £300 Windows laptop last Christmas. That is more flexible, plays games and runs more software. However, he now wants a Chromebook, as there are too many times when it grinds to a halt, spends half an hour on updates, and it takes a couple of minutes from switching it on, to being able to start typing.

I would get another Toshiba, but they don't sell them anymore. This and the Acer are the closest equivalents.

If it's just standard MS Word or Excel, you can use the online versions on a Chromebook.

I'd go for the Acer Chromebook over this. HP have a history of seriously poor (or buggy) touchpads. Also the HP starts at 1.71kg which is pretty heavy for a Chromebook.

I just walked up and down Tottenham Court Road. PC World had a Silver Asus Chromebook 14 on display. The screen isn't too bad, the trackpad was nice and it was in stock, so I bought one. There was a guy from Google there too, getting ready for the Pixel launch. He said that there was a list of the models which will support Android apps linked from a blog. That is here: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/chromium-os/chrome-os-systems-supporting-android-apps?visit_id=1-636123929203156644-2941524803&rd=1 Both the Acer and the HP are on the list. He said that this would be supported "by March 2017"

This looks really interesting. Probably going to be pricey but under 1kg!
