some of the acer chromebook 13's are cheaper than they were at release currently. 20-30ish dollars savings.
768p 2GB RAM $237
768p 4GB RAM $270
1080p 2GB RAM $250
> First off, your 1080p doesn't make much sense because Chromebooks (AFAIK) don't have 1080p screens. Don't quote me on that haha.
Nope. Examples:
The Acer and Samsung models are ARM based (Nvidia Tegra K1 and Samsung Exynos, respectively), while the Toshiba has an Intel processor.
Just ordered this one for 250. Its was actually $25 CHEAPER than the same model with the 1366x768 screen.
There's an affiliate link or something attached to that URL.
Clean link
> Also, is it possible to get microsoft word on a chromebook?
Only the online version.
Here are Chromebooks with a 1080p display:
Sounds like your machines need a good, clean install of Windows.
But anyways, just get a chromebook like the Asus Chromebook 13. It's more than enough for browsing and it won't install anything on your machine, because that's not what chromebooks do.
For a little bit more you can get this one with a 1080p display.

It's cheaper, has a 1080p screen instead of 720p, fan less and has a bigger battery.
Nothing in particular, but I would recommend something with 1080P like this.
Here is the 13 inch version of the laptop I recommended. Acer Chromebook13 CB5-311-T9B0 13.3-inch Full HD, NVIDIA Tegra K1, 2GB
Ive heard the 1 Ghz processor in the Stream is pretty damn slow, i have no idea what type of processor it is, and i already have a 15" laptop, im looking for a smaller computer, between 10-13 inch probably, another one i was looking at was This or the 4gb ram version of it. I had a chromebook before but it was small and cheap so I sold it,
Not sure from your post whether he has a laptop already and this is an addition or a substitution. If he can only have one thing, I would much rather have a decent laptop for college than a desktop. Look at Chromebooks like this one. They're super inexpensive and will be great for school.
Anyway, if you're keen on the build above, it mostly looks good but you should get a more reputable PSU. If you end up with a bad one it can ruin the rest of your components. Try this one from Corsair.
If you don't mind Chrome OS, your best bet would be an Asus Chromebook 13. A sale on them for US$199 just ended at Amazon, hunt around and you'll probably find them somewhere online for that price.
If you absolutely have to have Windows, a HP Stream 11 is your best bet. Frankly, it's inferior to the chromebook in specs and build quality while being about the same price, but it's the best ultra-cheap laptop with windows on it.
Alternatively, you could always trawl Gumtree.com.au and hope someone got a laptop for christmas and is letting their old one go cheap.
My opinion, I'm not the biggest Toshiba fan. I don't think they are quite reliable in their products. Saying that, I have heard people liking their Chromebook 2. It doesn't have too much different hardware difference than other models, so you are paying more for 1080p and a memory boost (4gb). Saying that, I think if you're looking to pay for you want, go for it. I picked up my CB3 because it was perfect for me. I would say the same for you.
If you're going into that direction, might want to take a look at this Acer model (I swear, I'm not a spokesperson for Acer) Acer Acer 13 CB5-311-T9B0 Chromebook (13.3-inch Full HD, NVIDIA Tegra K1, 2GB. It's not Intel based, but the Nivia processor gives the CB a HD boost and might actually run better than the BayTrail Intel. I'm not sure if you can install certain Linux apps on it (versus Intel) if you are looking to install Linux on it, like Ubuntu, so I would definitely research before making a final decision. And it's slightly cheaper.
If not, go with the Chromebook 2. It's definitely a worthy investment.
Chromebooks can download and play music. They use google play music, which is arguably pretty good.
Everything you're describing points to a chromebook. They have excellent battery life, some are pretty quick for basic tasks, light weight, and look sleek.
I used this chromebook when I was school, and I liked it very much.
I would spring for the extra money for the 4gb/32gb, also on sale but not as big a discount.
