The screen started to futz out, so I just acquired a used Dell lattitude that I am enjoying immensely.
My net book was handy, but less than thrilling with videos. Not sure if you can do banking on the Nooks or Kindle fires; otherwise they might be good choices.

I looked at the chrome book and something talked me out of it. I can't remember what it was. I think it might have been the 16 GB.
Good luck!
