Does this Chromebook only work with wifi? Or will I be able to use it without wifi? I just want to make sure before I buy it I never had one. I want to be able to use it at the park, in my car, and such. null

Yes, it will, but be aware that some apps and services won't work. One option is to turn on the "hotspot" feature on your phone. That will create a portable WiFi network that you can use to put the computer online.

It works BEST with WiFi. I purchased this device to have a seperate-from-work computer (I mostly use APPLE devices) and for that it's great... with that since I also am security conscious, my home WIFI has a GUEST login that is separate from my regular home login and I have to 1) turn it on with my phone before using the guest wifi, and 2) it automatically shuts off in 4 hours.

SO when I turn on the Chromebook I have VERY REDUCED use of it until I turn on WiFI. It works so much better with a WIFI connection and terribly not as well without.
