Boring design without the colour and flair of some other Chromebooks
I'll admit I'm warming to Chrome, but it's a relationship that's still far from cosy. The useful app choices remain very limited and the OS still feels rough round the edges in places and the printing limitations are as annoying as ever. Yet, whatever yo...

Cheap, Light, Easy to use
Limited capability
It's cheap, light and easy to use. If you're happy to remain within a browser environment then this is ideal. If you absolutely need Office, try out Google Drive first and decide if that's sufficient. As a living room device for catching up on Facebook an...
