Thinking about buying a chromebook mostly for school related

They're great. The only laptop that can get its advertised battery duration.

If you need to use microsoft office at all for school then chromebook won't help you.

What's your price point for them?

the problem i see, is that some people will buy a chromebook saying "oh it's just for school i don't plan on doing anything heavy duty on it". then some time later, "whoops, [some critical task] needs to be done but the chromebook can't do it"

Using one right now, it's a fantastic device.

you should get the Acer Chromebook 14

depends on what you want to do with it.
if you want to install windows on it, make sure that its possible with the model you are looking at.

I would argue that since ChromeOS is supposed to be 100% browser, you could use Microsoft Online Office instead, in a limited fashion.

i have a dell cb 13 - dualbooted to have ubuntu and chrome os

really great purchase, i split the cost of a new macbook/ultrabook on a desktop and a chromebook and still had money leftover
