So I went over to Best Buy to check out the laptops. This young salesman came over to me ( lets call him The Kid) his name is Keith. I have an unlimited supply of questions for him, he answers all of them with authoritative knowledge, I,m impressed. We go thru the MacBook Air , MacBook Pro, I,m impressed. Then on to the Lenovo an excellent choice say's he & we go thru the Q & A session,I,m impressed. Then I ask The Kld what does he know about the ChromeBooks & The Kid lights up like the Fireworks show in Rockaway on Wednesday Night! The Kid has one & loves it says it is the fastest & one of the best computer he has ever had,( at that point I think he exaggerated a bit but he liked it alot) now I,m Really impressed. The Kid says there is nothing it can't do that a Mac Book Pro can do except you can't down load from the internet & store it on your hard drive ( you don,t have one) but you can print out your down loads which works perfect for me. As far as working off line you can use Google apps to work off line but remember I am retired & very seldom do I work off line. As far as face timing or skyping google has a free app for that.
So back to my original question about net browsing, emailing, ebaying ,totving and doing all the things I need, this is perfect and all for $266 out the door with a 15.5" screen.
I know it will not work for some for many different reasons but for me Stay tuned, I am on it now right out of the box. There is one more thing, you do need a Google Account & email address, so along with my AOL Acct. I also have a Gmail Acct.

Thanks for all the help & your time. There is a 14 day fully refundable no restocking charge money back guarantee so I will up date in 13 Days.
Thanks Again
Jerry
