Are you totally broke or a horse farmer (same thing), need a laptop and can live within a browser/cloud. Some apps on notepad type app, a one button reset of all the c rap that besets me so no viruses. 10 hours on a charge, fast. I just bought two.

Refurbished Acer C720-2827 Chrome OS: 1.4GHz/ 2G/ 16G/ 11.6in

at groupon.com Black Friday.cyber monday special only $129 with free shipping

How can you beat that one?

Looks like a great way to surf the web.

I got my dad a cheap desktop and installed Mint Linux on it, he just uses Chrome for web browsing and email.

Rob,

It's also my TV. DIAL up USAnetwork for example, get the program going then at full 1920x1080 on a 27" HDMI second monitor and watch the program. Bluetooth 4 speakers, keyboard, mouse. It's everything I need... stick it Comcast. 64gb PNY for about $20 through the USB 3 - fast. Load of apps these days, unlike Surface RTs .... ssswwweeeetttt. The latest app, how to fix a Cat dozer for $100, is priceless.
