So pleased we waited a couple of days as the price dropped £50 between us deciding we wanted one and making our way to the store. Quite a few other significant deals as well on Chromebooks at Currys.
It's a 2016 Model I believe. The processor I checked out and based on Octane scores, seems to be about twice as fast as the 3060. Power uptake is lower than other (2830?) processors too.

I have one, performance is an issue for me, my old Acer C720 performs much better and it's from 2013.

Is this deliberately poor trolling or are you actually one of those people who looks at Ghz only and nothing else and makes a purchase decision based on that? In which case if you're the latter I have plenty of 3.6Ghz Pentium 4 desktops to offer for the bargain price of £200 and I'll even throw in a 15" LCD, that's even less than this terrible 1.6Ghz laptop and with an inch bigger display!

Clueless comment. Processor architecture is the important factor not GHz. Get with the times, it's been this way since 2004 or so.

No Touchscreen. Big Negative. Android apps /Play store only work correctly with touchscreen.
Nothing I'd want less on a chromebook than a touchscreen.....All chromebooks (just like all other laptops) have this nifty pointing device called a "touchpad" for navigating a pointer around the screen....
Unless your playing games (so buy a tablet) a touchscreen on a chromebook is pretty irrelevant

Chromebooks have very few native google apps. I returned a Chromebook in past due to lack of communication apps like in Windows or Android or IOS. They only make sense now if Android apps work on them . Android apps need touchscreen to work properly.
