We picked up a Chromebook the week before Christmas. Janet studied it for a couple days and realized it made perfect sense for her parents. We sent it today. Megan loves hers. We bought one more Chromebook that sits in the kitchen and handles the bulk of our internet activity. Three Chromebooks total. Elegant compute, really inexpensive, and really easy. Two households, three devices for less than $1000. Any complexity, additional cost, or maintenance related to the device is eliminated. Software costs are eliminated. No virus or security issues. This is a 2x to 3x cost reduction and a simpler solution for around the house. These are mostly personal entertainment and internet use. 90% Youtube, Netflix, Email, Internet. Some document creation and edit. Definitely a robust household solution. I have two wifi hotspots that cover my whole property; high bandwidth access.
