I finally did it

[Food Lady]

I picked up a chromebook and I love it! It's the Acer $199 deal and it's awesome. It only weighs 3 lbs and it fits in my purse. It's the size of a piece of notebook paper. Everything runs sooooo fast. The trackpad is comfortable to use. Sometimes I don't like those. It's not a pretty device, but hey--I'm looking at the screen, not the outside. My only issue is that the charger falls out; if it continues to be a problem I will take it back. I did get the service plan, which probably isn't needed for most people, but I am clumsy and weird charger port issues happen to me. But so far I love this thing. I still have my laptop for backup, when I eventually fix it.

as a chromebook user i have to tell you this will always be a problem

Thanks; I'll just have to be careful while it charges.

I think keeping the chromebook on a flat, even surface like a table while it charges might reduce the issue with the charger falling out.

What model did you get, FL? I got one for Christmas and love mine. (And my charge plug seems nice and tight.) btw, the HDMI out works great - I port mine to the TV in my office and work on it that way.

I've got the HP pavillion 14 chromebook, never had a problem with the charger falling out, maybe an acer issue as my acer netbook had that problem as well.

It's the C720. I got it for $199 at WallyWorld. Typing on it right now. The HP is really pretty and big, but I'm happy enough with this one. I think the charger won't be much a problem because I don't have to have it plugged in while using the book, like I did with my tablet. That was an issue with the Superpads. It fell off the table and the dipole broke off in the charger port. This thing lasts hours without a charge.
