Chromebooks...

Post by TechWiz18 »

Have any of you ever used a Chromebook or do you maybe currently? I had one when they were still fairly new to the market but I ended up getting rid of it. Not because it was terrible but just because the ability to play games or applications I was used to wasn't there and I also didn't exactly purchase the highest spec of Chromebooks lol

I think they're okay for kids, but that's about it. The possibility of installing Linux on them might make them decent for people who only have very basic needs.

Whenever the one I bought EVENTUALLY GETS HERE....I will enjoy it's use case I think. In theory I will be able to use my Maximum Settings subscription to do Cloud Gaming and then pretty much everything else I'd really care to do. Got it for under $100 off ebay and the story goes that it isn't even a year old yet.

I think some years back when I was looking for a lap top I briefly thought about one but decided against it. I think I just got a Dell instead.

Yeah, they tend to be quite cheap even if you buy them new. :D
