Re: Laptop for personal use?

[Jen Jobart <jenjobart -at- gmail -dot- com>]

How about a Chromebook?  I recently bought them for my mom, au pair, and
myself, and all of us love them.  They're great for low-impact, easy web
surfing use. They have a 9 hour battery life, almost instant boot, and you
never have to worry about viruses. Plus they're cheap.
