Really easy to use

With Chrome OS, all your favourite programs are available as apps, so you can use Microsoft Office and Skype, as well as loads of others from the Google Play store. The app based interface couldn't be easier to use - it's just like a phone - so it's great as a first laptop.

Fast start up

Waiting for a laptop to start up can be a bit of a pain, but Chromebooks are super-fast, so you won't be waiting around for a thing. They also have complete built-in security, so you won't ever get a virus or be plagued by pop-ups.

Long 14 hour battery life

With a battery that lasts up to 14 hours, you can easily use your Chromebook for the whole day without having to worry about recharging. It's really thin and light too, so you can carry it around in a bag and barely notice it's there.
