Want to buy a chrome book?

A few people have asked me recently which chomebook to buy, so i sat down for them and laid out some options.

I figured they might be useful for other people too.

Caviat they are persional opinons and likely already out of date. That said, i hope you find them useful.

General tips

• Get a 4gb version if you can / if you like 10 or more tabs open.
• Always get SSD.
• Focus on screen quality/resolution as a key factor.
