I assume " android support" means it can.

Does anyone know if the SSD card is removable and hence changeable for a greater capacity?

It doesn't have an SSD it has eMMC memory, which is an essentially an SD card soldered to the motherboard. So it's quite unlikely that it's removable.

What the hell is this thing? This is like the bat signal to my gadget buying obsession

I thought the whole idea of a chromebook was to be cheap, £350 isn't expensive but to my mind this should be £250ish?

Find me a decent android 13.3" tablet with connected keyboard, the same specs (incl battery life) for less, including VAT. Then you'll realise what a good deal this actually is.

But it's not an Android tablet is it, it's a Chromebook with Android support which will likely have some disadvantages or quirks. While the Mediatek processor is probably fine, it's a bit low rent for a machine of this cost and spec.

I would agree, but this is a laptop/tablet hybrid, and touch screens aren't cheap (well, the crap ones are).
If you want a good quality, cheap Chromebook then I got 2 of these for my parents to use since they won't use a touchscreen or Android apps - ebay.co.uk/itm…229

Cold ... if you keep an eye on laptops direct they are usually in stock for around £200
I bought mine from them ... great machine to take on trips

Too big and heavy to be used as a tablet. Asus Chromebook FlipC213 fits the bill perfectly.

Any idea on when this will be in the UK and how much?
I actually saw this at an educational show back in January, and it is very plasticy. It's designed for education, so rugged is the key word here!

Sorry, don't know. The HP X360 Chromebook looks interesting too.

I have been checking their price for two months. Around £290 refurbished with 3 months warranty. This is new with 2 years warranty.

£290 for refurb with 3 month warranty at Laptops Direct right now, not sure that's a better deal :thinking:
