Someone I'm friendly with bought an 11" Hewlett Packard with touch screen capability for $199.
My iPad is a lot lighter than the Chromebook, but still the Chromebook is only 2.5 pounds. Having the regular keypad is quicker for me when I'm typing long documents, but I love using my iPad. The Chromebook is a wonderful Internet device, and the Chrome operating system keeps getting better and better. I think you'd like GoogleDocs. A tablet might be better for you, but I still thought you should check this out if you like the idea of an inexpensive, fast, lightweight laptop. |
2.5 lbs. - that's less than Jilly weighed! Chromebook sounding good for my purposes as long as I can fold it up and not having anything poking into my tummy for a good while. So I won't have to purchase another Microsoft office in a few months? I bought Office on my old computer but did it online in a pinch one night and can't find my key code. Wonder if Microsoft saved it for me so I can just upgrade if the Chromebook needs it? Checking it all out - thanks, Lisa, once again!
