Have you heard of Chromebook? It's a notebook computer that can only be used online. It doesn't save anything on the computer itself (except for Google apps, as far as I can tell.)
Anyway, our school started having students use Chromebooks from about five years ago, and the first batch has gotten old so they are replacing them. Rather than discarding them, they offered them for free to any staff who wanted one.
Guess who received one? Me.
So I now have a Chromebook, and my first stop is to see how it works for myLot! I usually leave my computer at school so I only have a tablet at home. This is pretty much my reason for asking for a Chromebook, so I have a computer at home.
So far it has blocked a couple of sites I like to use but it seems ok on myLot. My hope is that since it doesn't have a lot of stuff on it, it will run faster than my school computer does online.
Have you ever tried Chromebook or other internet-only notebook? If so, what did you think?

I'm finding out. I think it takes less bandwidth because it runs faster on my slow home network than regular computers.

I think it's interesting that a lot of people haven't heard of it, including me before the school started using them.

@petatonicsca maybe it wasn't that much of a hit since it can only do so little
