Down a further £20 in the Black Tag event at PC world / Currys. I think the deal lies with the Full HD model really. Nice looking chromebook with Chrome OS (obviously)

How big are chromebooks normally, 11.6"? I bought that lenovo yoga 600 convertible laptop but that was far too small, in terms of screen size.
Need a second laptop to work from home with, which just needs fast browser performance, so a chromebook would be ideal; it just needs to be big enough for my monkey hands!

Press F11 or Fn+F11 to expand the screen.

That doesn't expand the keyboard, and my work's virtual desktop really doesnt work when the screen is too small-zooming in wont help!
might go to currys and see if I can compare an 11/14/15.6 inch laptop in the flesh, before BF

If it doesn't, it will soon. I've ordered the silver full HD one. Once you go full HD it's impossible to go back. The icing on the cake would've been AMOLED but at this price, RAM and this processor I'll be very happy. And the promise of android apps now or very soon is essential for me.

Same price on Amazon for the gold version. I bought the last one an hour ago, but it's still available for pre order.

Why are they saying it's not been released yet?
