Good for microsoft words excel (a bit slow)

Where can find large selection of chrome lols?

Amazon.com.

Singapore market doesn't really favour ChromeOS, due to aggressive marketing from M$

Normal laptop repairer? Actually if device is quite old like more than 4 years, would actually advice you to get a new one.

If I want to get a chrome book locally (mainly for warranty), what brand or model you guys recommend?
I mainly use it at home for streaming video on China websites, surfing net, YouTube. Probably work on MS words and excel files.

How is chrome os reliability with android apps currently ?

 

[ghgan1]

Chrome OS is very light weight and build for online and cloud computing purpose. With the integration of android apps it have the best of worlds of having the huge android apps collections.

The downside of android apps on chrome OS is that apps that are touch screen based or not compatible with chrome OS will have some issue. Meaning if the apps require touch screen, you will need to have a touch screen chromebook else navigation will be painfully difficult. Similarly for some apps are use to work for certain version of android, and it will not work for chrome OS if the programmer did not update the apps to be compatible to chrome OS.

Infact, I had changed my parent windows laptop to chromebox for more 5 years already. During these 5 years I do not have to deal with desktop support issue that are common for windows. The only 1-2 occasion is due to chromebox auto update that changes the UI which my parent need some help to find the icon to shutdown the chromebox.

Overall, chrome OS is for folks who need something portable to connect to internet for media consumption and office computing in the cloud. As it is light weight, chromebook hardware are relative cheap, reliable and long battery life due to very little power consumption from the os and hardware as compare to Windows and Mac laptop.

Thank you. Exactly the size that I am looking for and getting hands on. I couldn't find any in courts or challenger.

Anyway is there any other recommendations based on the following needs:
1. Run android apps, obviously
2. Ideally 11"-12" screen, trying to balance between portability and presentation
3. Must be able to take notes with stylus
4. Able to run light words, excel, pps (can be Google or MS since usage is light to medium)

Thank you!
