๐If you're shopping for a Chromebook, check how many years of ChromeOS updates it has left ๐

Hereโs a look at what weโve updated recently: https://t.co/sngIrihz1s
I did get some different Googlebook goodies at the September media event in London, there's a Channel Member's video on the YouTube channel if anyone is interested in seeing ๐
The Acer Googlebook 14 (Core Ultra 5) is back in stock on Acer's UK site. With the potential for 15% off, this is still the cheapest way into Googlebook ownership.
It has delayed some of my Googlebook coverage, but I'll finally be hands on again this week. It'll be really interesting to see after a month just how Googlebook OS feels, especially coming from ChromeOS. Any questions or particular scenarios you want tested, let me know.
I took what was perhaps a poorly timed break last month. I didn't take a Googlebook with me, or even the excellent Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14.....but instead what's now a 2 year old device, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus (15.6"). It's still such a great Chromebook.
The large 15.6" AMOLED display for watching movies and productivity, plus the HDMI connectivity and the lightweight design still made it a perfect choice for travel.
Good to see Lenovo UK (and I assume France and Germany) are offering the choice of a power adapter with the Lenovo Googlebook 15 OR a small reduction in the price if you don't want it included. Note - this is when buying direct from Lenovo's site.
Great to see a manufacturer actually still supplying a laptop charger in the box in the UK with a new laptop IF you want it OR a reduction in the price of the laptop if you decide you don't want the charger included.
A small step, but I think others could take note from Lenovo.
@slacka1967 Certainly these early models seem to be best positioned for the early adopter segment of Android and ChromeOS fans.....lets hope more affordable models follow as the OS stabilises and then more mainstream adoption can follow.
The offer to claim all the extra accessories and warranty etc from Acer UK when you purchase an Acer Googlebook 14 will end on 30th November.
See the latest video on the MergeDroid YouTube channel for how to pay 15% less + an option to send back after 100 days for a full refund
You can register your interest with Acer UK to get notified when their Acer Googlebook 14 is available to buy: https://t.co/5HeAV0bncz
They'll be bundling some goodies too....and even planting trees!
Check my latest video for a look at all 5 Googlebook launch models!
@sinhvanba ChromeOS is pretty mature and very stable though. It's definitely looking like "steady state" routine browser updates are the future, with some updates focused on enterprise and education customers. Chrome itself can still bring new features for all of us though.
