A:AnswerYes, Cindy, it should work well for what you described. Remember that it will not be able to "install" anything (like Microsoft Office) but, as long as he will only need things which are accessed online or in tablets/apps then this should work well.
A:AnswerMy son plays Minecraft and has to download the game on regular laptops. This Samsung Chromebook does not allow for downloading programs. BUT--you may want to look into the Minecraft "pocket" edition. He used that to play from a tablet having Android op system, so that may work. I have no idea if there is a separate charge for that. Anyone's know about that???
