Hi there, I am wanting to get my daughter who is in year 9 a chromebook for Christmas to see her through her GCSE s and maybe beyond. It looks like there are quite a few around the £150 mark which is what I am looking to pay. I was just wondering if anyone knows of what specifications I should be looking for and what brands are recommended?I haven't got a clue! so your advice is most welcome

For your budget, this is a good deal. The screen is a little on the small size but the performance is there.

A key consideration for Chrome books is the memory. Try to avoid ones where they only have 2GB of memory and stick to 4GB, as too little memory can slow it down, especially if there are multiple tabs/windows open.

thank you for your advice, good to know about the 4gb thing and that one looks great
