For $250, Chromebook or tablet. 

Desktop is the only computer that you can get for that price that's not crap.

 

HP, Samsung, or ASUS Chromebooks will do.

Or get a old Surface (RT) with the type cover.

Any suggestions for a chromebook? Are they all the same?

That's why I said TYPE cover. Not Touch.

IE 11 is not bad at all.

ITS A TABLET. Not a PC, it can't run .exe

nice video. Everything packed in there.   Thanks  :)

 

lol

I was also looking at that one. So many interesting options out there

 

The Acer chromebook is really cheap and I love mine, as long as wifi is available.

Yes, will look into those  :)
