Goodbye Windows and Hello Chromebook

   My windows computer quit on me so now I get to replace it with something much faster.  Kathy has been spoiled with an Acer C720 11" Chromebook for over a year now and I love using it too, especially now that my PC is toast.  It is much faster than any PC we have ever had.  I am very used to using Chrome as an OS along with windows and like it. It is so much faster on its own laptop without waiting for Windows behind the scenes.  I have not missed Window and its lagging, crashing and rebooting issues(slow at that) and many even slower security updates one bit.  When a Chrome does need to reboot for an update it is done in literally seconds.

   We also use a Chromecast on our TV to stream Chrome and phone contents to a larger screen such as JW broadcast,  JW.org articles,  Youtube and Netflix.

   So I ordered an Acer Chromebook 13¨ CB5-311-T9B0 (13.3-inch Full HD, Nvidia Tegra K1, 2GB and look forward to receiving it. Besides faster and easier they are also so much more cost effective than a Windows PC.  

   I bought an extra power supply for a second charge location that will fit both our Chromebooks.  I also bought a protective blue hard shell cover for it.
