I've been looking for a cheap Chromebook to play with. My intentions are to use this device when I travel, so that I can see what is happening in the world - as long as I have a WiFi connection. I was able to get this device for $100, but one gets what one pays for. (And I have no complaints about it.)
Getting used to this device will take some time. For example, there is the issue of downloading Android apps - I can't seem to get this to work yet. I also haven't figured out how to create shortcuts to certain features, and leave the links on the dashboard. And, I have yet to create documents and save them locally. There is much that I have to learn, but it is not as intuitive to me as Windows is. But I have been using Windows for years, and changes to the interface come slow enough to be easy to learn. So if anyone has a good site I can use for an introduction to this device, I'd appreciate it if someone would post it in the comment area....
