    Hey all,

    Had a quick question regarding some opinions on the ACER Chromebook. I like the $160 price point, so wanted to make sure it can handle everything I need...

    I travel frequently and am looking for something that won't send me to my knees, dramatically screaming, "NO!!!" if it busted. All I want it to do is give me access to the internet, handle a word processing program, and most importantly, act as storage for my video footage so I don't have to keep bringing my master external from home, which would monumentally suck if I lost it or if something happened to it. There's only 1 USB, so I figure I can just drop footage onto the 16GB hard drive. If I need more space, I'll plug in a different external to take some of the footage off.

    What do you folks think? Can the ACER pretty much do all of that swimmingly?

    Thanks for your time!

    Cheers,
    Joe
