Looking at some chromebooks for uni seeing as they're pretty cheap. Far as I know I wont be needing any specialist software for Biomed so it should just be browsing/note taking. I'll have a tower at home anyway.
Anyone have chromebook recommendations? Or reasons I should go with a windows laptop instead? My budget is really low at around £250 so price wise a chromebook is right up my alley.

I have a Chromebook and it's pretty good!
Only thing is it doesn't support a lot of apps/programmes that Windows does but if you're just looking for a laptop to make notes on I'd recommend it

Given the COVID situation, coupled with you not urgently needing a device, I'd be inclined to at least wait and see how you get on. If a few weeks in you think a Chromebook would be valuable to have then get one. If not, and you find pen and paper is doing the job, you've not wasted £250.

Sounds like a Chromebook would suit your needs of basic web browsing, note taking, etc. The only obvious question is do you even need a laptop? Does pen and paper surfice? Will you get £250 of value out of owning a Chromebook or would it be better to save that money?

That's a great point, I'm not even sure I'm going to be going in so I could make do with my tower at the moment. Although I am inclined to avoid manual note taking to be honest
