We use ours for general browsing and completing invoices and estimates for the hubby's business. The kids have their own profiles set up and they use it for homework and also general browsing/ YouTube watching and we all really like it.

We have a HP 14. I've just had a look on Argos and I think it was a 4gb/32gb version that we got.

They are basically just a chrome browser so you can do anything that you do online in a browser. There are apps you can install but they are generally just easy ways to access the equivalent website.

We use them on school with google docs / sheets etc and they are very good and never go wrong. But they only do what they do. They aren’t designed to have extra software installed on them.
