using chromebook for Blogging from the road

To update my site as well as other online activities (photo editing, email etc.) I looked at several options including tablets but really do better with an actual keyboard. It has to be lightweight and rugged enough to handle the rigors of the trip. What I ultimately decided on was the Asus Chromebook C202SA-YS02. Some of the features that appealed to me were:

• Lightweight - 2.2lbs
• ASUS claims 10 hour battery life but I'm getting closer to 12 hours.
• Spill Resistant Keyboard.
• Rubber Wrapped Edge to protect it from bumps and drops. According to ASUS testing it can survive a fall from 3.9 ft" (This will be helpful on those bumpy roads).
• 360 degree wi-fi antenna that I can attest to...works great!!!
• SD Card reader for importing/editing photos and videos
• 100gb Google Drive storage for one year bonus!

Because this computer operates on the Chrome OS, everything (most) has to be done online and if you use specific programs that need to be installed the chromebook may not work for some people. But, where just about everything I do is online and stored in the cloud it was a great choice for me.
There are 2 options available with 2gb or 4gb of ram. I opted for the 4gb version and have had no issues with multiple tabs opened, streaming video or editing photos.
It is currently available on Amazon for $199.00
