mr.ed - Be careful a Chromebook is completely different than what you are used to. That does not mean there is anything wrong with it, but you need to be prepared to completely change what you are used to. With Chromebooks you work completely on the web. So no downloading pictures or programs to your computer. If that is what you want to do then a Chromebook is for you. But if you want to upgrade your XP system it may not be. Windows, Apple, and Linux are all basically same as what you have now. But Chromebook means documents, pictures, and programs stay on the web only.
