Chromebook

[Blue Heaven]

I need to get my daughter (4th grade) a chromebook b/c at some point I am fully expecting that her class will be quarantined.....any recommendations on a simple to use chromebook that will be used mostly for classwork? Also, not looking to spend north of $350-$400.

 

Thanks

I had bought myself an ASUS chromebook for grad school back in 2015, and I use their other parts like graphics card and motherboard in my current PC build. I trust them a lot. There's a cheaper $199 option on Amazon, but this one on sale right now is spill resistant and "ruggedized", while also having a more powerful processor that will last longer and be more efficient. It's also touchscreen and can flip to be a tablet.

I think Xander's rec is probably spot on for a 4th grader. That'll give them the basic Google Suite and should handle pretty much anything a school sends over. She shouldn't really need anything more powerful than that.

Done!

We had looked into getting my son a chromebook, and we found it better to spend the extra money and get him a laptop. Chromebooks don’t have much memory in them, they aren’t made to store anything, it’s more internet based. We went with the laptop for him so he can do his reports on it, and he has his music now on it, he is 11.
