Mine too now.

Blimey. Looks great.

I went from a Chromebook to a ThinkPad and I just love the keyboard, so much so I sent two Chromebooks back because I couldn't stand the keyboards after being spoilt by the ThinkPad..

Prices always come into the mix, be interesting to see how close it is to the US pricing.

Missed out on a Prime Day deal to pick up an Acer 311 touchscreen.

Any other deals out there for c.£200 or less?
 
For you Office users

Within the next two weeks, Google will begin rolling out a feature that is long overdue – Office files will now automatically open in ‘Office Editing Mode’ by default on the web! Office Editing Mode allows you to work on Microsoft Office files directly in Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, and Drawings without converting them and retains their formatting nicely too. It also comes with an expanded set of tools for manipulating the document and the ability to collaborate in real-time with others while auto-saving after each keystroke.

Internet/wifi trouble. For the 3rd time this week my chromebook is suddenly unable to connect to the net. The previous 2 times a powerwash seemed to fix it, temporarily obviously. Running diagnostics tells me the following. Any ideas or suggestions welcome at this point :)
