Well that is a foot in the mouth... Or a broom handle straight up the Poop Shoot!! Pick your choice Macky
Just look at the hard drive space??
If you don't mind plugging in external hard drives all the time looks great...
I got my son this one a while back and found it at Staples under $300 on sale with 3 year warranty (battery replacement as well on the warranty uses it for school because the tables were too small for a 15" laptop)..But the downfall of this one is you can only use 2gigs of ram(I see you need/want 4gigs??) but at least a 500gig hard drive

And as far as i know you can wipe any operating system on PC laptops and put whatever operating system you want on it
But Skiz may be able to be more accurate on that answer

I especially enjoyed that because Mary so rarely gets caught with anything like that.
As for the computer, I actually want to run Chrome. I think there's a lot of potential and it seems some people are quite happy with it. Most of the programs on this Netbook I use constantly to visit with you guys on go unused. I figure it is worth a shot for my online and schools stuff. The touchscreen and ability to run android apps seems like it might be decent, as well. Just wanted to know if anyone else had taken the plunge. The idea of Windows 10 makes my skin crawl.
First off.. Any new laptop i would purchase the first thing i do is wipe Windows 10 and put 7 on.. As for touch screen i guess you have to go to at least Windows 8 for that, but your idea of running Chrome might be the right idea..(To me it is a Ipad alternative or competitor )
The only problem is the Hard Drive space on those laptops, and programs fill it up fast???
And i couldn't see myself lugging around a external hard drive and plugging it in all the time..
As i said i bought my son the ASUS 11.6" for school and my daughter we got the 14" ASUS touch-screen for school, it has windows 8 on it and she loves it..
Like i said if you think the Hard Drive is big enough for you, go for it
Does look cool

You're probably used to a traditional laptop that runs Microsoft Windows. You'll need to think a little differently when it comes to using your Chromebook.
Chrome OS looks a lot like the Chrome browser you may have used on that traditional Windows laptop, but it's a full application platform in its own right. You have access to additional software through the Chrome Web Store, and many of the features and functions you'll want can be installed with the click of a button.
But some of the features and software you're used to having on another laptop aren't going to be available. Your new Chromebook isn't going to run Crysis, because Crysis isn't available. The same goes for full Microsoft Office (though Google Docs is a fair substitute for most things, and Microsoft is improving its online Office product regularly).
If you use a laptop to work and play online, chances are your new Chromebook will be perfect, but don't expect to be able to buy third-party software and drop in a CD to install
