If you are considering Chrome Books, I would recommend you look into becoming a "Google School." I do not know the details about how this is set up, but it is my understanding that it is entirely free.

I recently purchased a touchscreen Chromebook for $250. It is amazingly fast and easy to use. Currently, it takes our students approximately 10 minutes to log on to our laptops, so we lose a lot of instructional time. My Chromebook starts in literally 2 seconds. It is incredibly fast and easy to use.

Good luck,

Any input you can share would be appreciated.
