Topic starter
 

My eldest has just started secondary school and gets most of his homework set on Google classroom.
I already have a laptop but thinking about getting a Chromebook for homework and YouTube/internet browsing/Google docs etc.

First question - which I hope is obvious. I assume Chromebooks are good for doing things on Google classroom?

Second question: any recommendations? I think I want minimum 4GB RAM, 64GB storage. Touch screen. Budget £2-300.

My daughter used my old chromebook when Google classroom was rolled because of you know what in 2020. It's a 2015 model that cost £130 and was well up to the task without being unbearable.

Not a touchscreen and over budget but 8GB/128GB and Google Buds included: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/hp-14a-14-chromebook-intel-pentium-silver-128-gb-emmc-white-10208592-pdt.html

Why do you need so much storage?
(That's what the cloud is for).

Chromebooks start on AO.com at £150.
These will do everything you want.

(My boys get them supplied by school - slim HP jobs, rechargeable via USB-C)
