No delete? What do you do if you go wrong?

Got this yesterday and it's perfect for what I wanted. Loads up and connects to wifi instantly, you sign into it using your Google account and anything you save on it can be accessed on any other computer. Only things that take getting used to are that there's no mouse buttons (you tap the pad for left click and tap with two fingers for right click) there's also no delete button, no F1 F2 etc buttons and no caps lock.

Couldn't see the benefit for such a light user unless they don't want to use touch.


No because I want a keyboard and for it to sit on the chair arm, never really liked tablets

They look well built, especially for the price.

The WiFi only version will be a lot more useful on the go with 4G and the extra speed it brings.

Couldn't find a thread on this so thought I'd make one. Just bought one of these to replace my old Acer Aspire One netbook which was very very slow, so this is perfect as all I used it for was browsing the internet in front of the TV.

Runs Google's operating system and boots up in 7 seconds and stores your files online (so not sure what happens if you're away from WiFi)

Looks good too, anyone else ordered one?

Cheapest one is £199 but I got the £229 one.
