Chromebook wifi

Supercell

Funds are limited, can I use a Chromebook laptop easily or is it going to be a learning curve compared to the Windows laptop owners? In particular the wifi and network services? I used Eduroam before in DIT which I never managed to get working on my Android phone so am concerned a Chromebook might be a similar experience in TCD?

Thanks.

I have a Chromebook and have absolutely no issues with connecting to the wifi. If you're struggling connecting there's always IS Services clinic to help you. Chromebooks are great

My chromebook works perfectly on the college network.Its the best thing for college, as the batteries are excellent on chromebook and most lecturers/rooms dont have outlets to charge a laptop(also one of section of the BLU library, doesnt have outlets either). The only issue you might is for some online assessment stuff for some textbooks. But there is a few computer labs that you can do that stuff on and they are generally have seats, even in the middle of assignment season

My wife has a HP 13" Chromebook as well. She studies in NUIG. She reckons it's great. She would not have a clue about anything I.T related but she finds the Chromebook so easy to use. Also, as mentioned earlier, the battery life is great so go for it.
