Good price, and this supports Android Play store (via the beta channel). However, processor lets it down. Even for ChromeOS, this is slow.

No play store, no touch screen. Only few Google apps work on chrome book

It's never a good idea to get a 2GB Chromebook no matter the price. As the 4GB R11 isn't available in the UK get the Asus Chromebook Flip if you want a convertible.

Is there anywhere doing the Flip for this price though as just searched on Amazon and it's £100 more than this?
Thanks Mark.

This DOES have a touchscreen. And it does have the Play Store. Using the one I got my daughter for Christmas right now, in fact. Great for her needs.

It's true that it has the Play Store, but importantly it should be pointed out the Play Store is in beta on Chromebooks currently.

Yes via Crouton.

Seems to be two versions available in the UK. One with 16gb eMMC memory and one with 32gb. The 32gb has a marginally faster processor. Both have touchscreens and are some of the first Chromebooks to have access to the Android playstore.
The R11 in the US are much better. They have a 4gb variant as well as significantly better processors.
In case you are looking for YouTube videos to see performance, make sure you are checking a UK review.

The 4GB version is available in the UK. I paid around £230 for it in September:
