Yes, it's perfect. For your Chromebook first double check if the reader has a maximum

It is fast enough for transferring files, but be sure to read the requirements for your camera. Many of them are CF, which is faster. I use the 256GB as a secondary hard drive in my Vaio and it works well.

Never tried. 16gb is way more than enough for a full vacation of photos and videos

I'm using it for gaming too, i put 16 gigs of ram in, 500w power supply, and gt 630 nvidia card. Pc now is very powerful, windows ranks gaming at 7.3. I think for simple tasks youre fine. 1 tb i think would last a lifetime for just photos. Even if you take them all the time. Honestly though, get the newest HP version thats out now, this i think is 2011? model? I love it, been using it for 3 years, but get their newest.

Storage should be in the specs. Best to just check them out. Mine was 256gb solid state drive.

If it only works for a few days like mine did, the plus or minus 250GB doesn't matter. Just be sure to only use it for data transport and not backup.

The Chromebook is mainly for quick Internet access. A transfer of large files would have to go on the cloud because you have only 16 GB.

You would be far better off to get an SSD and USB 3.0 UASP enclosure...you would spend about the same amount of money to get twice the speed and twice the storage for your photos. :)

I wouldnt! I think it is used for cache and is software and hardware based. You would probably waste it. You need to look further but I though about buying a 256GB SSD for $120 on sale and replace the 500GB spinning drive with the new SSD and let it still cache if it likes I guess??? not sure lol.

Hi, It will be more than enough. If you will dive into photography go a head. Otherwise think about compact digital machines for example Canon Powershot G series have very good point and shot performance.regards,

The 8 GB rating is the ideal situation. You will not get that. The actual storage size will be somewhat smaller (ex. 7.4GB). Whatever size it says it has will be the largest file size it will hold.

Hi Linda! It would depend on a few factors such as the sizes and resolutions of the images. The smaller the photos, the more photos that can be stored! I would think you should be able to put several hundred if you want a guess. :)

Powerful laptops such as the ASUS are very popular with photographers and graphic designers for thee ability to run large programs efficiently and effectively. I think this would be a perfect laptop for a photographer. Best of luck in your decision!

I'm going to replace my 500MB 7200rpm hard drive. How will this compare in speed? I'm basically at 90-93% full due to photos and music!

I am not an expert, but if you do video you will need a lot of storage. You might need 1T at least.
