Googled up!

Well at last I can ditch my final Microsoft product. I am retiring my Samsung Windows 7 notebook and I am thrilled to be using my brand spanking new Chromebook. I opted for the HP 11 Chromebook even though the reviews on You Tube said it was a bit slower to use than the ones from other manufacturers who use Intel processors. There must have been some decent updates in the months since the reviews were uploaded, as I do not get the lag experienced in the videos.

I have also been using a Dell Inspiron 10 for 6 years or so, and it was so slow it was painful. But immediately the HP 11 Chromebook feels right and speedy. The build quality is luxurious compared to the Dell Inspiron 10.

I am already used to and have got my mind around Google Drive and love it, and love it that my lap is not on fire as I type this. The big plus for me is that there are no "F" keys, as I never got my head around how to use them. For me the keyboard layout on the Chromebook is intuitive.

So, I am suited and booted and very happy with my HP 11, Nexus 7 and Moto G. And, I will be getting my nephew, Liam, a Chromebook in the not too distant future.
