Quick post, in the market for a new computer. Fancy a chrome book cos there abit cheaper but I've heard there abit terrible after a while. Plus I'll be using it to Skype. Anyone got any experience with a chrome book on fab them? Or should I spend a few more penny's and buy a laptop!?

Thanks in advance!

You,ll usually get back what you pay for as far as quality goes saying that I won,t pay for any anti virus but have the free versions and find the one I,m on at the moment good, you,ll get all the sales talk on how good they are of course they,ll have extra,s and they should have to, I,m happy with a ordinary laptop almost 6 years old now so the price will be more now I took cover out for the first 4 years not now thou but its still good, I,ve no Idea how chrome book operates but personally not for me.

Looking too but I prefer a system that allows more things to be used on it and gives me more options for privacy. There were some threads on laptops a few weeks ago

We use a Macbook air. Mostbestesetfantabulous computer we've ever owned. W have had it two years now and it two years it's never crashed,froze or got a virus ( I bet I've just jinxed it now)

It's super fast and absolutely tiny. It took a while to get used to though as the operating system is very different.

I'm switching to a Chromebook to give myself a break from Windows. I'd get a newer model that has android app support and a touchscreen to give you more usability

Thanks for the replys, my budget is small so about 300 quid. I was hoping to get a decent deal on lap top during the back to school offers they have on at the moment but don't seen anything decent yet, pm me me if u know otherwise! So good chrome book or laptop for 300/350 that can Skype or a laptop. Happy for refurb as well. Any suggestions?

Thanks again in advance X

chrome books are incredibly limited and designed to compensate by always being online.

are you going to always be on wifi?

300 should get you a pretty decent i3 laptop in the 15" form factor though

Thanks,, I'll check out dell outlet. Think laptop is the way forward, 300 quid for a refurb 15 inch i3 sounds spot on, thanks for the advise
