I've heard they are pretty limited in what they can do, especially if you are not currently connected to the internet, but I've never used one. How are you finding it so far?

You may want to return it while you still have the chance. Chromebooks can only print to printers that have a feature called AirPrint, they run on an Operating System that doesn't have a lot of support (compared to Mac OS, Windows, and Linux), so you may notice difficulties doing different things down the line.

And in reply to Learning Sponge, you should always have an antivirus program. It MIGHT be safe because again, it's not a very popular system, but that doesn't mean someone won't find a flaw or exploit in it. I would bet that there are some out there that have been found and kept on the DL, or at the very least there are sure to be some still waiting to be found.

EDIT: Chromebooks can't run .exe files. These are executable files, you run one of these everytime you install a program. Chrome can only run apps. That being said, it is possible to put malicious codes into apps. Feel free to PM me questions, or to further translate nerd to English

Edit #2: You can't even use a usb cable to connect to a printer. You have to use AirPrint or another Cloud based service

I have a Chromebook. For the money, if all you need to do is go online, then it's good.

I want a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 (or 4 if it comes out by Xmas).
