Apple computers are more
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Fujitsu Laptop Battery
A Chromebook is cloud storage only. It is also browser apps only. It doesn't have a DVD drive because there's no need for one. It also doesn't run Windows. If you want some idea of what it is like from your work PC, download Google Chrome and use ONLY that on your PC. That is what a Chromebook is – a computer that only runs Chrome. It won't play Civilization 5 or Minecraft. It can only play games that run in the Chrome browser. It can stream Netflix and YouTube since those are browser oriented tasks. I think you'll be disappointed if you get one based on what the current PC does.
We got our kids the little Google pads for about $150 each back in August/September. Each kid has his/her own signature "color" so they don't get them mixed up. Heaven when taken on an airplane!
That's real smart, pay $350 for a mini iPad when you can get a 10 with battery like Fujitsu FPCBP159 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook A3100 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook A6020 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP160 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP171 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook P7230 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP176 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP251 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP199 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP233 Battery, Fujitsu FMVNBP168 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP182 Battery inch Samsung, Acer, or Asus tablet for nearly the same price. If you're only going to get 1 laptop for all the kids, I'd suggest an Asus. I bought one this past Spring for about $500, with a 17 inch screen, and it runs everything you seem to need very well. It runs Windows 7, but anything you buy now will probably come with Windows 8. There are many good, mid-level price range laptops that are extremely capable of doing the things you want them to do. Don't listen to the Apple lovers, you can get a Windows machine with a huge (17 to 19 inch) screen for half the price of a 13 inch MacBook Air or Pro. The OS and inner workings do not justify the price for those machines. Get a Dell, Acer, Asus, HP, or even Sony or Samsung. Don't bother wasting $1300 on a tiny MacBook.
It is not financially efficent to buy your kids a cheaper laptop now whenever you will need a nicer one for each of them in HS and college. She recommends getting a tablet for them to share.
Yes, the Apple computers are more expensive. She has had friends that had other computers that broke after a year or so. She still has the same Macbook that was purchased 3 years ago. In the long run, it is cheaper to buy one Macbook than multiple computers of other brands. Additionally, you do not have to buy virus protection, but you do have to buy Microsoft software if you want to Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. She also says there are exceptions for every case, so she is not claiming that a Mac cannot get a virus. If you ask the majority of Mac users,they will tell you that they are satisfied with their product.
Not playing Minecraft is due to the Chromebook not running Java because Google can't get Oracle to play ball with a verified Java version like Adobe and verified Flash. Adobe cooperating also means that the verified Flash version running on Chromebook will always be updated to a secure version silently. Only being capable of running verified software is a s
