[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:22 here again. I should note, my Dad is a retired IBM developer and I had him review the Chromebook with me before we got it for DS. My Dad is very old school but even he thought this little Chromebook was amazing. Its a BARGAIN and yet absolutely perfect for a middle and highschooler's needs. It has been PERFECT for DS.[/quote] OP here -- thanks for your suggestion! I had not considered a Chromebook but will look into it. It's certainly cheaper :) than the Samsung combo Windows 8 device I am currently considering.[/quote] I am so glad. I have been raving about it to all the parents I know. I thinks it's the perfect device for the things our kids do the most - writing and researching/surfing the Internet. And it has built in safety since you dont download anything onto it. I know lots of school use google docs because it allows teachers and students to collaborate, basically access the document and make edits, corrections, notes, etc... It's the hot platform in schools right now. Plus everything is moving to the cloud. When I was looking into it I read a mediocre review on Wired or some on line computer site. It was a criticism of the google os though, not the Chromebook. Google has already made improvements since then. DS loves it and has yet to hit any obstacles to anything he needs to do on it. Lets us know what you end up getting.[/quote]
