1. Good computer at a very cheap price

Am writing this on a Chromebook right now. I use the Chromebook for surfing the web, and my children are totally comfortable using apps like Google Docs, Slides etc as replacements for the MS Office suite of products like Word, PowerPoint, Excel etc.

I'm not as proficient as they are, but I know from them and others that a Chromebook is a real competitor to MS products. They're generally cheaper than PCs using MS Windows and MUCH cheaper than Macs.

Once you get over the relatively low learning curve, I think the Chromebook is a real alternative. Just make sure you have a reliable internet connection, as much of the functionality of a Chromebook is cloud-based.
