So it seemed sensible to get a simpler device, with no annoying update issues. I decided to get a chrome book over laptop as most tools, including work files, are moving into cloud based services.

I would’ve preferred two USB ports, but maybe I should just invest in a Bluetooth mouse instead.ĭefinitely pleased I got the 14” screen. The HDMI is important for connecting second monitor. It is worth getting a decent download storage space for moving files from one cloud server (one cloud) to another (GDrive) as there is no “explorer” function like Windows. I’ve had to learn a few new keyboard shortcuts which is no biggie. With the ability to withstand scratches and pits, it will continue to look as pristine as the day you bought it.
