Chromebooks are generally fine laptops, and a bit cheaper than their Windows counterparts, but rely heavily on an internet connection. if there's not always a reliable internet connection around, or there's other issues like exchanging files with other children all using Windows labtops you might want to use a Windows machine.
If the kid's under 10 I would recommend a tablet since it's so much easier to use.

Just turning 9 but really wants the keyboard experience. Don't think she will really be exchanging files.Kachang wrote:Chromebooks are generally fine laptops, and a bit cheaper than their Windows counterparts, but rely heavily on an internet connection. if there's not always a reliable internet connection around, or there's other issues like exchanging files with other children all using Windows labtops you might want to use a Windows machine.

Then a chromebook is just fine, will handle all the games her phone handles too, but most games are designed for the touch screen, not the keyboard.
If that's no issue, make her happy with a Chromebook. Sometimes the screens are a bit crap quality. If she wants to use it outside (garden, roof terrace) pay attention to the screen when buying one.

Some chrome books can have windows installed on them as well.

Thanks.
As an aside...after a couple of feeble attempts to go Apple over the years and swearing I'd never...work just bought me an iPad and after 24 hours with it...I'm now eyeing a MacBook 12". Not sure what's different this time but im loving the simplicity, smoothness and... Netflix on the iPad.
