[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been thinking about this very same topic for my rising 7th grader.  I'm absolutely going to look into Chromebook - thanks for the suggestion![/quote]

Happy to help.  Ever since DS got it for Christmas I have been so delighted at how perfect it is for his needs.  And for such a nice price.  Honestly, it would pretty much meet my needs as well.

A few more details I thought of:  DS uses two e-mails, one gmail and the other through our internet provider, Verizon.  He can access both remotely, so through his Chromebook or from another computer/tablet.  Because kids tend to "misplace" things, the Chromebook (or really cloud computing) is great because, even if your DS or DD loses his/her Chriomebook (or leave it at school or a friend's house!) they can still get online to work on their document, check e-mail, look at school notes, etc... because it is all stored on-line in what we now call the cloud.  Plus, as opposed to a tablet, the physical keyboard makes it easier to type.[/quote]
