@SMaxxin I've owned a Chromebook now for at least a year or two if not longer. In fact I have a ChromeBOX (desktop unit) and a Chromebook (laptop) and think they are perfect for my needs. That's the most important thing to remember, your needs or in this case HER needs. If she needs to run Windows apps then she's going to be unhappy with a Chromebook just as
@olds97_lss wife.
if she just wants something that's silly fast, little to zero worry about getting a virus/malware, and just wants to surf the internet (including social) then a Chromebook is a perfect fit. If you guys are already Android users then a Chromebook will be even better as you might already use Google Docs, Drive, etc and all of that will easily be accessible on her chromebook. So if you're still interested in a Chromebook, then here are my suggestions.
Samsung Chromebook Plus - Features a 12" touchscreen, pen, and metal frame. The screen will flip back flat to operate like a tablet as well. Plus the Samsung Plus also has access to the Google Store, which is a feature coming to many Chromebooks but not yet there. So you'll have access now.
Dell Chromebook 13 - One of the highest rated Chromebooks and built like a tank. Can be bought with or without touchscreen and gives you plenty of options to customize the build from CPU and memory.
Acer C740 - This is the Chromebook I use and have been pretty happy with it. My only complaint is the screen is a 11" and would have preferred to have 13". It's very durable and long battery life like most any other chromebook. It doesn't have access to the Goolge Play store yet but is scheduled to in the future.
There's a few ideas. Let me know if there are certain features you're looking for or have a price range you want to be under and I will update if needed.
