Chromebook 11 3181 (Black)

Great little machine for traveling. It's a little heavy, but that's because it's well made. If you use Chrome as your regular browser on your home PC, the Chromebook comes up instantly (after you enter your email account) and you are up -- nothing more to do. Stays in sync with you home PC too. You should be using something like POCKET to keep your bookmarks synced. Fast, you're in Chrome after 2 seconds of entering your email password. This is a great auxiliary machine for the price and functionality; far better than carrying an big mobile. Watch you favorite films on the train or plane, (put them on a USB key), and keep in touch with your Chrome browser life, all your tabs are automatically there; Netflix, Facebook, etc. No problems with catching public WiFi. Or use your cell phone in Tethering mode as a WiFi server. The HMDI port allows you view your movies (or streamed videos, Netflix, etc) on a large screen - when I travel, I can continue watching a Netflix series or share a movie with friends at the hotel room. Wouldn't recommend a chrome book for a main home machine as you'll be missing all the great software that Windows runs.

Great chromebook. Bought mainly for browsing internet, banking etc. very nice to use, not flimsy and a great price for dell. Excellent delivery by DPD.

This Dell Chromebook is absolutely brilliant! Just what I needed. Don't need an expensive laptop, but one to browse internet, check email, run Netflix, etc. And love Chromebook. Laptop starts extremely fast. Great battery life. So far so good!

This is a nice, neat Dell product and is good for using on the go or for getting on the internet quickly. The downside of this type of device is that you can't store folders or files on ' the desk-top' or 'drag-n-drop' , and all software comes from the cloud via Google Apps. ( some Apps like MS Office have to be on a subscription ). That said I like this notebook it seems very solid and the battery last a long time.

I did a lot of research before oqying this. From all reviews on web the accessibility options for low vision users seemes great. Sadly it was ruboish. The large mouse was great out totally useless as nt vanished behind the open window on the screen. the screen reader had a serious stutter and "hen used in conjunction wnth the magnifyer the "hole chromebook went ballistic and choked. Very sad. Thaught it "as going to be good. However, if you have great sight this might be a good deal. Its what you pay for, nothing fancy, but its great for brousing the web and emails

Excellent Dell Chromebook. It's the 11.6 inche size. It's a great cloud computing laptop hence the low "hard-disk" memory. Save everything to Google Drive. Dell build quality and attention to detail makes this laptop a delight. Its fast, good screen and excellent battery for a full days use. Dell and Chrome OS is a good alternative to slow and expensive Microsoft offerings for equivalent PC power

Having moved away from Windows, I was pleasantly surprised at the whole Chromebook experience. I travel a lot (or used to) and only require limited apps relating to word processing/spreadsheets/presentations and moderate browsing use. This is perfect for what I need. I was on a 9-hour flight last year and still had battery life on arrival. Most planes have power facilities, but when In West Africa, without such luxuries, I had plenty of juice and was able to recharge from a solar unit. Google docs etc are a suitable alternative to Office apps, but MS Office on-line works fine. Even in the depths of northern Ghana, I used my mobile phone as a hot spot and was able to access Google Drive and Dropbox. I found the HDMI port useful and despite always wanting to upgrade to a newer and more powerful laptop, I actually can't justify it as this little machine does everything I need. Yes, it is a bit cheap and cheerful in many ways, but, hey, you get what you pay for and a far more expensive Windows machine is sitting in my cupboard having been retired. I'm sorry, but Microsoft has just made the whole experience far too complicated. The screen is not as brilliant as many but at the price, I did not expect to be dazzled.

This is the second in ONE week that I have ordered, I am a huge Chrome fan/user I only use them I cannot stand Windows but this laptop has given me nothing but headaches & new grey hairs! The first one stopped working after one day it just crashed & couldn’t even turn on so sent back & got a replacement thinking that would be the end of it but sadly no, the mouse trackpad just stops working whenever it wants, I have to reboot the laptop & sure enough it happens again! Looking at photos is a nightmare takes a whole minute to move from one photo to the next, when the lid was put down & opened up later it took ages to start up & then I had logging in issues it kept saying my password was wrong (it wasn’t) when I was finally back on the mousepad stopped working again. It has really put me off Dell, two laptops that have gone seriously wrong in one week is terrible. The laptop itself is OK not as nicely made as other ChromeBooks it feels cheap, the battery life is good but the system is very slow not like my other Chromes in the past. The apps to look at photos on this laptop run terrible they just lag. Two Dell laptops sent back in one week I would avoid this laptop & personally Dell laptops full stop.
