I'm also considering a Chromebook for my dad. He's quite computer literate but not really happy with his Win8 laptop. A Chromebook would serve all his writing/email/browsing needs, but the only question I have is about USB peripherals - can you plug your digital camera in and have it pop up with all the pictures? And then a nice easy workflow to upload to google drive? Also I presume it doesnt play nice with iPhones?
