Are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced?

So gang, tell me --

1) anyone have experience with a Chromebook? Thumbs up, down, sidewways?

2) anyone have experience with wrist-carried heart rate monitors? Am particularly interested in those using a chest-strap.

3) anyone have experience with Android tablets?

TIA!

Heart Rate Monitors

[julian satchell (by livejournal.com)]

I used to use a wrist mounted Heart Rate Monitor, about 15 years ago when I did triathlons. It worked fairly well; the only problems that I can remember were that the chest band would not give sane readings for a few minutes, until there was a trace of sweat to make a better electrical contact, and that electrical interference would send it crazy. For example, if I ran underneath a big power line, or past a substation, the readings were nonsense.

The chest band could get vaguely annoying if worn for a very long time, but was OK up to say a few hours.
