From what I see chromebooks are cheaper - can I still use them the same?
On a regular laptop I would probably have a couple of tabs up on my browser plus microsoft word or onenote and I'd save most of my stuff to a memory stick.
Is that all still doable on a chromebook?

If you aren't sure of what applies to you, go for a Chromebook, because it sounds like all you really need is Word and browsing - and you can get the browser version of Word through the Office website (free, as long as you have a Live account).

On a laptop, you're most likely running Windows, which means you can use pretty much any software you want to. On a Chromebook, your operating system is pretty much just a web browser, which means what you can do is limited to whether it has a website.

I might need to use it on the commute to uni, too, and there's no wifi on my train. Does that mean I won't be able to access stuff with no internet?

However: I've just Googled this to make sure, and it turns out there are Office apps available for ChromeOS too. Check this page out:
