Are they worth having. I do have a android tablet, but looking for something to do light photo editing on the go with Snapseed. And watching Prime and Netflix on. And internet browsing.

I got a Chromebook to replace a knackered laptop. It's ace. Haven't used my tablet since getting it either.

I've owned 5 or 6
Run two companies wholly on chromebooks.
Not a single one cost more than £250

Faultless, seamless, easy computing.

I bought my Missus an Asus somethingorother for Christmas, She thinks it's great. She is also the most technophobe person I know.

Finally replaced my 8 year old Acer. It was still fine, booting up OK, no viruses, still 8 hours of battery life, but the hinges were getting a bit floppy (needed propping open eventually) and the screen was scratched up, and replaced it with...Another Acer. Full HD and 14" all for £269 price matched at PC World, I don't know why you'd want a "proper" laptop at home anymore.

Oh, and as everything is stored on the cloud, I just opened up my new chromebook, entered my acct and password, and carried on where I'd left off.

Sell a lot of these to schools

Asus are the standout in terms of build quality longevity and warranty

Ensure you go for 4g ram

I've had Chromebooks for about 6 years now. No issues at all, unless you need to do things like burn OS images for Raspberry Pi's etc

I use mine mainly from browsing the mincernet and it's great.
