If that's sold out I wouldn't have that hold you back from the 16gb since expanding the memory is super cheap and easy on all Chromebooks in general with an SD memory card.

A:AnswerSee my review on the Acer R11. It is a good little 2-in-1, but I would recommend you check with your college to see exactly what type of software they require you to be able to run from your personal device. If nothing is required to be downloaded onto your device, and it's all web based, you're good. Note that in a month or two the Acer R11 will receive full Android functionality so that you may have the Google Play Store on your R11 with access to all Android apps on your R11. Even then, if your college requires your device to be able to run Mac or Windows software, you're only choice with the R11 will be remoteing into a Windows or Mac computer to run the software for you.
A:AnswerAs is today, you can do light editing using a couple of web based programs. Within the next month or two, you will be able to do a lot more because the Acer R11 will run all Android apps natively in Chrome OS on your Chromebook.
