Thanks to deaglecat who found a deal at amazon earlier this evening, which made me find this deal.

**Update: As of Friday 19th Midday - The chrome book is out of stock for home delivery - reserve & collect is still available - but I have adjusted the price as the 5% code doesnt work for reservations - but it might be worth checking instore to see if they can discount it down**

    i found this dont know if it helps anyone:
    You cannot download anything onto this computer, everything has to be done via google. You can do documents on there via google but you cannot download itunes onto it or any other programme. Suppose its great if you want a computer that will not get clogged up with stuff. We haven't managed to be able to put our photos on unless we go via a website. My daughter has struggled to get games on there she regularly plays. And the app store doesn't always lead you to right thing. Took a while to get used to but slowly getting there. I wish I has spent my £300.00 on a better laptop with all things we needed, I feel that it is not very good value for money, and think it is very similar to just having a tablet with limited abilities. I didn't realise it was only really use for online,No good if your daughter needs to download her homework! Don't buy if you have limited internet access otherwise your stuck! Ah well, we brought it but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Buy a proper laptop!

    The usual thought process :
    Yes . Wow got to get one
    No. Hang on what will i use it for
    Yes. Well its handy to have the keyboard so better than my tablet and handier than my laptop.
    No, Oh hang on how much typing do i actually do ..
    Yes got to get one i do lots of typing , mainly on subjects like this
    No , if i dont look for gadgets i dont need i wont do much typing
    Yes but it will be a handy back up.
    No someones mentioned something better is round the corner.
    yes but its so cheap
    No it will just gather dust

    Off to Currys.

    Why when applying for the cashback online the only options for the invoice date ranges from 1st sept 2012 to 18-9-12?

    Yep, there are guides online to install Linux on the chromebook as a dual boot option, but windows hasn't been posted (yet)

    Think you're getting mixed up with Flash, I've uninstalled Java on all my Windows machines since the security issues with it.

    It is like a laptop in terms of the web browsing experience, but would probably not recommend it as a main laptop.

    Hot, almost everything is online nowadays. Google Apps for wordprocessor so makes an ideal second laptop / kids laptop.

    Bad time to buy. New Chromebook just announced in US at $250. Will probably be around £170 here shortly - greatly improved over this model.

    It's more like a netbook. You may be better off just getting a cheap laptop, ones come up on here for less than £250 often.

    Not it won't be £170 - it is £229 and the differences aren't great. Has a smaller screen too.
