Thanks, Michael.  Very helpful.  I don't mind about having to struggle a 
little, and Bluetooth doesn't worry me, but sound is a bit of a killer. 

What about either of these Chromebooks:
Acer Chromebook 11.6 Inch Celeron 2GB 16GB
http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5487972

Asus Chromebook C201 11.6 Inch 2GB 16GB
http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5763830
?

Can anyone speak to these?
Thanks!
