I know very little about Chromebooks so have some basic questions.
Is a Chromebook a suitable substitute for a notebook for a young student (4th grade)? I understand they have a hard drive but I'm wondering about applications for word processing and very basic photo editing.
I have a Nexus 7 but, for a child, I think the set up is elusive, such as where files are saved. For example, you often need a file manager app to locate files.
Does the Chromebook have a desktop like standard computers where files can be transferred and saved? Are applications available for it (such as Word or Office), or do you use apps like on a tablet?
Can you word process and use similar programs when you don't have a wifi connection?
We'd like to put off buying a new laptop for now, and the prices of Chromebooks are very attractive. It will be used at home, not brought back and forth to school.
Thank you.
