Collabora Office for Chromebooks

twopenny

Currently looking for a small device to carry around. Take to an internet group to learn more and the library where I can work in the warm. Also a quick way into the internet on the kitchen worktop and such.

Trying to keep the cost down to around £100 area.

It seems that a Chrome book is the smallest and lightest but I'd like to work offline and have a keyboard. The one downside is I thought you can only use them with the internet. Now I've found this "Collabora Office for Chromebooks"

Can anyone advise if this is workable? Can I have something on a Chromebook that can be used offline sucessfully? It says something to that effect but I wonder.

Use for a word document only with images. Hoping to import those images from a memory/usb stick.

You can use the regular Google apps like docs offline; no need for an extra app.

Oh that's good news

I've already started practising one of the online ones suggested before.

Then got distracted. I'll check it out.
