On - LITERALLY - anything else I would agree, but hard drives do not matter in the use case of a very cheap PC.
If you're after more battery life, a bigger battery is cheaper than an SSD.

>>55390770
Speed is one of the least important factors for why hard drives are terrible for mobile devices.

>>55390806
Read my entire fucking post.

Everything on your mobile device should be regularly backed up.
Hence stability and reliability are not a concern.

In a cheap device, it is much easier and cheaper to increase the battery life with larger batteries/extra cells than with an SSD.

There is no reason that an HDD would not be more than sufficient for a converted Chromebook.

>>55388184
Trash in laptop form.

Anyone who buys them is either technically illiterate, poor, or both.

During an internship in High School, my mentor and I installed Ubuntu on one of those (the first models to go on sale a few years ago), it was so fast and smooth we couldn't believe it.

You can get a 13" MBPr that has a 128GB SSD and Iris graphics for the price of a Pixel LS, so I don't see why anyone would buy it.

Maybe the base model for $999 but that's pretty much useless due to 32GB of storage.

I never understand why people here are still reasoning that HDD is a good option ever. They can be cheaper when you need lots of storage (not the case here, btw), but that's it.

SSD:
>Faster, both throughput as latency, which is a huge deal. I remember when I used my first SSD to replace an HDD in a laptop, I was fucking amazed what a huge difference it made.
>Lower power
>No moving parts
>Mechanically robust
>No noise
>As of 2016, longer lifetime than HDDs
>Unharmed by magnetic fields (doesn't matter most of the time though)
>Way smaller and lighter

For a laptop, there really is no question.

>>55391365
Except for, you know, the price.

>>55391376

I can buy a 320GB HDD for literally $10.

If you were to covert a cheapo Chromebook to a cheap laptop, you are obviously being thrifty, you are not going to care about anything you mentioned.

HDDs are cheap, functional storage.

Ideal place for the powerbutton is on the outside edge of the case for two reasons:
1. Hard to hit accidentally (have to press and hold to activate)
2. Able to turn laptop on without opening the lid (great for when using external peripherals)

>And yet you're scraping hard drives from laptops thrown in the dumpster because you want to save a few bucks.
I used to do random tech work back when I was a student - also participated in a few pick-n-pull's to build up frankenbuilds for people in need (mainly people on the pension).
We did get funding from time to time, including free Windows licenses, but it was never enough to do what we needed to - it mainly just paid for parts that we couldn't scrape from donated machines.
A few people who I used to do work for still donate me computers and I tear them down into useful components (HDDs, RAM, occasionally processors and MBs if they're slightly newer) and I hand it in every time the "drive" starts.

Forgive me for not being a sperglord who can only focus on faster boot times.

>>55391594

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Pretty underwhelming tbqh. I picked up the 2013 model second hand because it looked like a good computer to carry about with me. Turns out that even when browsing a couple of pages it starts crapping out and becomes unusable. Pretty pathetic and not worth the money. Also the default software is so shit that you cant actually do anything productive on it at all.

The only thing I like about it is the form factor; it's nice and slim, and very portable, so very good for going to cafe with, for example.

Bitch I've been using ChromeOS since before it was available to the public. It's not.

>>55399260
It's mostly just a search engine.

While we're talking about it, does Chrome OS support torrent clients? While I'm solving my storage capacity issue with the Acer CB 14, I need to know that if I would be able to use it for formatting Ext. HDDs and SD cards for file transferring torrents. If not, I'm installing ubuntu, I need my anime and 3DS/GCN ROMs/ISOs to be accessible.

I got a thinkpad chromebook, it's pretty great though overpriced if buying new. i can do most everything i need for school and if i need to do any programming i just SSH into my computer.

I'm on a Chromebook from like 3 years ago and it's actually faster than when I first bought it, somehow. Pretty good.
Chrome OS is surprisingly capable if you know how to get creative. There are some pretty good notepads (Text, for example, can handle some light programming), photo editors (Pixlr Editor, Polarr, etc), hell, there's even a GarageBand ripoff called Soundtrap that works really well. Plus the addition of Android apps only increases Chrome OS's scope of capability. Still not as advanced as, say, macOS or Windows, but not as dumb as 2011 Chrome OS.
Mine (HP Chromebook 11 [G1]), is pretty nice for a cheapskate machine. The speakers are surprisingly good, the IPS display is nice to look at, the battery used to last for 6 hours but now it goes past 10, the keyboard's alright but not too great, same with the trackpad. My only problem is that it charges via micro usb. I don't see how HP thought that would benefit anybody in any way. It charges quickly when it's off or sleeping, but takes forever if you're using it.
Doesn't lag at all, really. Feels cheap in terms of build.
Weirdly enough, I actually prefer Chrome OS's file manager over Windows'.

>>55402626

>> based 4:3
It's actually 3:2, which while better than 16:9, isn't quite as great as 4:3.

>>55403067
No, but you can run Ubuntu side-by-side with Chrome OS on a Chromebook via Crouton. You can literally press ctrl+alt+shift+forward button to switch between operating system instantly, and have both of them running simultaneously. So yes, you can install Linux programs but not in Chrome OS.

They are ok? And some models are quite cheap? That's about it for chromebooks. Interesting that Android apps are coming in the Google Play store soon. Chromebooks will be even more ok then.

Twice the price to run Google docs? Nah bro.

Crouton is functionally a VM though isn't it? Wouldn't a dedicated ubuntu install run better? Or is it indistinguishable?

I like the idea of them, most people can do 80-90% of what they need a computer for on them anyway. Certainly most of what I do (and I suspect most people are in the same boat) is simple reading, watching videos, emails, sociak media, shopping, (etc, etc), which you can do on a phone, but just feels more comfortable on a larger screen. I think most of them are overpriced now though. I would probably splurge on one if I was loaded, but it would be a total indulgence and waste.

I have one for my bedside for porn and dorfs.
Keyboard layout is moronic but its sufficient.

It's a chroot

You get more bang for your buck with a used laptop. Chromeoboks are okay for very light browsing and things like editing word files.

why would i want a chromebook with an i7?

>$1,299 for a LITERAL Facebook machine

You niggers make fun of Apple but at least you can use a Macbook for things other than the Google Chrome browser

they're fuckin grrrrreeeeeat

- no windoze tax
- easily replacable SSD to overcome the only stock limitation of storage
- fuckin portable. Not much bigger than a slow-ass netbook it replaced
- SeaBIOS on most models- Install your flavor of Linux.

I love my C720 with haswel i3. Very great machine.

Not all Chromebooks are over $1,000 though. Mine was $249 and it actually functions pretty well. I don't really know why Google decided to make the Chromebook Pixel, maybe they wanted people to use it smoothly for heavier web apps like Soundtrap? Or maybe they wanted something strong enough for you to easily fuck around with (install all kinds of weird shit, break it, reset it, run tests, experiment a little.) I don't know their reasoning.

wanted one when they were giving them out for free

Something that tablets killed.

>tfw didn't even know I signed up for one, I just came home to a Cr-48

If it had a good Skype client I'd be switching my entire company to Chromebooks. Web skype sucks and Skype for Android probably isn't going to handle the full screen experience well.

I want to get an Asus c201 sometime when I have more free income because it completely supports libreboot and is pretty cheap
A pixel with coreboot would be nice too, but I'm a poor college student and it's really not a priority at all to have either of them

To compete with Apple most likely. They hope the hardware will entice people to put up with a developing os that still has a ways to go.

>>55410608
Did you keep the box? There's an easter egg on it.

>>55410690
I forgot, it's also ARM so it's at least free of an Intel processor even if it still has Google hardware

> dell
into the trash it goes

>>55410801
Mine came in a different box without all the graphics on it. I don't know if they just stared doing that later on or what but yeah

The middle chicks calves but a
Busted up face...

>>55411032
Oh. That sucks.

>>55388184
in the beginning they weren't a bad deal, but now they're pretty overpriced for what basically amounts to a thin client

>>55410608
What version is the CR-48 on now? Did they ever update it to the new layout, or is it still stuck on 2011 Chrome OS?

>>55411203
Yeah

>>55411222
I've got no clue, I only used ChromeOS till they figured out how to install Ubuntu and flash the BIOS.
