Chromebook before getting a surface pro 4

TheGreyMandalorian

Hi, I'm going back to uni in a week and was hoping to get a surface pro 4, unfortunately the only news about it is a possible reveal in October and was thinking that I should get a replacement in the mean time.

My question is, what is the best chromebook for around £250-£300?

Any help would be appreciated guys,

Thanks.

hp stream is a windows pc that cheaper than most of the chromebooks (and it doesnt run chrome os so you can actually do stuff on it)

any laptop running windows under 300$ is not worth it.

it will be to sluggish to do anything. under 300$ go chromebook. 300-500 is meh maybe u can find a deal.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

my moms 350$ netbook

RIP

my friends shitty ass laptops

 

a laptop that you can even consider buying is at least 500$ 

all chromebooks come with fast ssd storage

 

no laptop under 300 has ssd storage

 

 

honestly 

Beast Desktop + chromebook is way to go.

Yup. Speaking from experience (minus the Beast Desktop. Wouldn't exactly call mine beast, tbh, thanks to the 8350). Borrowed a friend's Chromebook for a few weeks while my laptop was in the show for cosmetic repairs, and it was so much nicer, imo. All I used my laptop for was research. 100% online use. Worked flawlessly for me.

FX-8350 | GA-990FXA-UD3 | G.SKILL 2x8GB 1600MHz | 1TB WD RE4 | CM Hyper 212 EVO | MSI R9 290x Lightning | Corsair AX860i | Silverstone FT05B-W

Pentium G3258 | MSI Z97 PC Mate | G.SKILL 4x4GB 1066MHz | 500GB Samsung 2.5" | Stock cooler | Pending GPU | EVGA 500B | Antec DF-35

GoPro Hero 3 Silver | Netgear R7000 Nighthawk with DD-WRT | HP Officejet Pro 8610 | Canon iP110 | AudioTechnica ATR2500 USB

Downdraft cooler for mITX board (new build) | Desk mount mic stand | Pop filter | Anti-vibration mount for microphone | mITX case | 3rd monitor (matching existing 23.1" | Intel Core i7-4790K (for mITX build)

and its really laggy when watching youtube in anything above 480p
