answer:This is somewhat similar to the phone question. It depends. For many people, this is the perfect choice. Remember, however, that Chromebooks are inexpensive vehicles for interacting with the browser. If you depend on native applications, you won’t be happy with this device. But if you are embedded in the Googleverse, mostly use your browser, you should be happy. Important: The Chromebook 11, which was recently released and is probably the best inexpensive Chromebook to get ($279) was pulled off the market temporarily yesterday due to reports that the provided charger was getting too hot. Hopefully this will come back soon.
