Cheers for the tips.
When playing (in PC World) I was surprised by how nippy it was. I had several tabs open – including STW, natch – and I had no grumbles, even whilst streaming a HD YouTube vid at the same time.
I’ve already had a play with Chrome Remote Desktop from my work laptop to my iMac, so hoping that will work well from the Chromebook to my iMac too. I’ve got Apple TV and an iPhone so no real need for Chromecast.
As a convert to Google Docs and subscriber to Netflix and Spotify I reckon I’ll be quite happy, even though my heart wanted a Macbook Air 😆
The only negative I could throw at it was that it’s a bit bland and cheap looking compared to the more fun looking newer Chromebooks. It just looks like a mini work laptop.
