From http://www.pcworld.ie/product/acer-cb3111-116-chromebook/324771/393.6#tech it does seem to have a hdmi port. Provided the TV also has a hdmi port, it'll be fine. I presume this is to watch movies etc, rather than reading books or something on the tv!

I never really looked into the chromebooks. From what I think I heard, you get best use out of them by connecting to the internet. I also seem to recall a recent thing where you can run linux in a window on a chrome book, so that gives a lot of extra options I would think.

There doesn't seem to be much in the way of storage space on these, but that's probably normal. Get a USB drive for your movies and you'll be fine.

As you said, no wired connection, but it does have wireless access.

Looking at this one instead

Asus x553ma

Looks like a nice laptop but i know nothin about them.

Is it a good one? Thanks
