OK thread resurrection time 🙂
The new Chromebook costs £229, thats new as in hitting the shops next week or so
Its caught my eye as my eldest has just hit Y7 and the school have an IT bias and encourage the kids to get a laptop and bring it to school, now theres no way we’d have ever sent her off with a MacBook but at this pricepoint (and weight) its a different matter
The thing is what does it actually do?
Or more specifically are the Google word processor and spreadsheet really easily compatible with Office when shes at school?
More importantly if she doesnt have a web connection (eg doing homework on the bus) which of the offline Google doc apps are worth looking at?
Almost finally, is it simple for her to upload her pics to the cloud and look at them herself – obviously this wont be available offline
Finally shes 12, she needs to be 13 or 14 to have a Google account
I think I know the answer to this one LOL
cheers
