[QUOTE="Snowcialist, post: 1502672, member: 297379"] My three middle school children do much of their homework on-line and post it all to google drive. Next-year they will be getting iPads at the high school, but until then I have to get them away from my desk. They monopolize the little time I have to get work done at home. I have always been an all Mac house - since 1986! I currently run a 2009ish iMac and a new Mac Mini. I also have an old G5 iMac laying around and an older G4 Powerbook, but they are not capable of accessing google drive. Finally the question: I was thinking about getting a $300 Chromebook for them to do homework, and to free up my computer? Are there any viable Mac alternatives? If not, has anyone gone this route and found it unsatisfactory? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
