That's the one. Dual Core ARM Processor, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB SSB Drive and 100 GB
Google Drive (plus the normal 5 GB that everyone gets) free for two years.
I'm pretty chuffed with it:
* It boots in less than 10 s.
* It wakes up from Sleep pretty much instantly.
* All the Apps run in the cloud, so there's no need to update them
(that's done by Google).
* All my files are accessible from any computer that can run Chrome
(or Chromium under Linux).
* The battery last a genuine 6.5 hrs +.
As Ralph says there are Chromeboxes and also the earlier Chromebooks, which
tend to be bigger and more expensive.
