Don't give me orders. Just because I read something a week ago doesn't mean I want to spend the time searching all over again. You can search too, right?

I have read that win 8 will be replaced in about 4 months.

Thanks. I appreciate all your comments and suggestions. I'm leaning towards a "regular" laptop now with the Windows OS. I think that would suit my needs better. Been reading up on Windows 8. That's a different animal than XP for sure but it may be fun learning....

I have one for traveling on airlines,good for checking Email and web browsing. Low cost and light.

I picked one up about a month ago and love it. It stays nice and cool, it's fast, and starts right up every time. I use it mostly at home though.

You can run Ubuntu on Chromebooks, making them more versatile - and cheap alternative to Windows PC, especially the new ones with Haswell processor like the Acer C720.

Got my daughter a little chrome book for Christmas. Low cost easy to use. Ditto comments above that it has little storage, just about everything is stored online. The user interface is a web browser. Its a great machine for someone wanting to surf the web, email, or do video chats.

From what I am reading Chromebooks start around 200 dollars.

So what does an extra fifty get you if you shop around?

Well last month I happened into Staples.. The sign out front told me of the deal of the week,, I might add I got paid that week so..

Toshiba C-55D-A5381 Notebook 15.6" screen 1.4 Gig AMD CPU (that is about 2 Gig Intel) 4 Gig Ram, 500 Gig HD (1/2 Terra byte, 350 for the HD alone by the way). Windows 8.1

I'm not yet loving 8.1, but it's growing on me.
