|

Hi all,
Anyone recently bought a small laptop? I'm wanting portability and flexibility over anything else, something that will weigh not much more than a hardback book and has good connectivity via wireless Wi-Fi, cable internet, HDMI, and USB. It's as a replacement when (not if) the classroom tech doesn't cooperate so it doesn't matter how small the screen is.
It needs to run Windows Office, Chrome browser, VLC, a large HDD or thumb drive, and last long enough on a full charge for 2 hours intensive use.
I'm totally open to make ('cept Apple), and can budget for up to $700 or 500 newly minted pounds of sterling.
Added a poll for kicks.
Thanks in advance! |

If you're willing to go through YouTube tutorials on running Office 365 on Chrome books, HP's newest Chromebook 13 gets you Google's assault on the PC/laptop market in terms of price, memory, processing speed and battery life.
I've not had many snags dumping Microsoft's suite for Libre Office. |

Thanks, never heard of Libre Office, is it an app, cloud-based or a program? I'd need to be able to use it and access a memory stick even without internet access. |
