My chromebook is so small that it's essentially the same as a tablet with a keyboard. I think chrome can be used on a desktop, but I don't remember how.

SSD or not, 16 GB as the hard drive? o_O Are they assuming you'll have a spare drive/SD card for storage or something?

I think I've narrowed it down to either a Toshiba CB35-B3330 13.3-Inch Chromebook 2 or a Dell Chromebook 11 11.6-inch.
I have one question.
Is she going to be able to use my internet connection? My other sister does, so I assume this will be ok, just not sure if Chromebook is going to need anything different.When you start at zero, everything's progress.

Based on the reviews I found online, both of these are good for web use and writing, which is mainly what she'd be doing with it.
I kind of like the Toshiba but the Dell got slightly better reviews. It's kind of a toss-up between the two, I guess. I'm just a little leery of Dell because my work computer is a Dell and I don't like it. But that's a regular PC, not a laptop and not Chrome, so maybe that doesn't matter, and it won't be my machine, anyway.When you start at zero, everything's progress.
