We don't want them having phones, I had toyed with the idea of getting them decent little android phones with no SIM, so they can use YouTube music (they've their own accounts) and starch Netflix/YouTube/Disney on them, but now I'm thinking of I'm getting them a phone with no SIM, why not check out Chromebooks instead for the bigger screens etc.
No budget as such, but they're 11/9 years old, so not going to be overkill either.
Anyone any thoughts, Phone v Chromebook and if I go down the Chromebook route, any recommendations?
Thanks
