The other big reason why I still have to turn on the Windows PC (though not actually use it) is printing. Neither of our two printers has CloudPrint so I need Chrome running on the PC to allow printing from the Chromebook.

As I understand it, you just load Chrome onto the Windows PC and you can print from your Chromebook on any printer the Windows PC has a connection to either directly or on a network.

I tried it with 2 Window PCs using Chrome. Worked fine.

I am holding back for slightly better hardware and battery life. I like to hold on to a computer and avoid having to trade up in a couple of years because I have outgrown it. Same as for vehicles.
