      @NerdyDad you need to get the one with the stylus so they have something to poke their eye out with.

      Just wait. Your time is coming...

        Searching for Christmas presents for the kids. Looking at some kind of Android tablet or Chromebook (has to be able to run Android apps) that will last for a couple of years at least. Considering this one.

        I LOVE my Asus Chromebook. If it ran Android apps too, I'd be in heaven.

          That's one of the reasons why I'm considering ASUS, along with Dell, HP, and Samsung. You like yours so much. Plus, I had a mobo of theirs back in the early '00s and ran great for its time.

          The one I linked claims to be able to run Android apps. Another factor of looking at this one.

            @JeremyRichardson has an Asus too that he loves.

                @RestoronixSean picked up a Samsung Chromebook a few weeks ago, too.

                    I had a Samsung Tab A and the damn wifi in it stopped working.

                    Pretty useless at that point. . .

                      The past few Acer's that family members and I have had have seemed of lesser quality in comparison to the standards (Dell, HP, Samsung). Not as cheap as 3rd party knock-offs or eMachines, but not as good as the standards.

                        I'd use it.

                        What are your thoughts on it?

                        Depends. What does it mean by "supports" Android apps? Does it mean full on browser the Android / Google app store and download/install anything you can get on Android easily through there?

                        Tough enough for 5 & 8 year old kids?

                        Not mine, unless you can get a nice bulky bouncy case for it.

                          That is exactly what they are claiming. Anything in the Google Play store is up for grabs and running on the Chromebook.

                            Then that's a definite yes for meself lol... but for kids, so long as it's tough enough. Look to see if there's any kind of case for it... if not, you'll likely need to get a 10" tablet instead a laptop-type... there's cases galore for the actual stuff.

                            Otherwise, they are all basically the same without a case. You drop anything once from a regular height, it'll likely be over. So I wouldn't base it off of how tough it is with zero protective measures.

                            I'd just get it, see how you like it. Keep if you do, return it if you don't.

                              That's what it means. All new Chromebooks include the Google Play store.

                              Newer ones are starting to include Linux executables, too.

                                My Asus is definitely easy for my seven year old to use safely, no issues at all.

                                  @scottalanmiller When I bought the 20 Chromebooks for work, Linux was available to turn on and a reboot, but it was still in beta.
