Evening all!
Sorry - shamefacedly posting for traffic.
I work FT and am starting a masters degree PT next week.
I have only had my work laptop for the last few years as I've not had the need to do additional word processing etc. outside of work hours (mostly living on my phone and Mumsnet Active )
I've decided that I obviously need something for my actual uni work that is completely separate from office life (also, that would clearly be a breach of privacy policies at work) - I think I've settled on a Chromebook of some sort but have never had one. I understand the pitfalls of requiring connectivity etc. but want something quick, very lightweight, that can handle word processing/powerpoints etc. and that uploads directly to Cloud (after a horrendous undergrad dissertation backup failure 10 years ago) so GSuite is perfect.
So my questions if you/family have a Chromebook:
- What one do you have? There are so many different models that it's quite overwhelming
- If so, is it good/anything I need to know?/Would you recommend?
Price ranges are vast at between £150 - £1000 - ideally I wanted around £300 max but want to be sure it will manage everything I need it to do and it's hard to tell quite how much better the £600 ish options really are.
