Are chromebooks a meme /g/? I need a lightweight laptop for

if its cheap, hell yeah

>>55699333

I can get it for about 220 euros atm

>>55699344
which one is it exactly? since its a chromebook the specs arent too big of a deal so it may be worth getting something cheaper

>>55699325
Pretty much. If you want one, just get the cheapest one, I think the Acer 11" is only $149.

this one, because of the aluminum body and 14" screen, I can get it cheaper than on amazon tho from a local dealer

go for it dude

I've been nothing but satisfied with my Acer C720.

it sounds like a chromebook will suit your needs perfectly.

>>55699407
I will say, though; for the money, you can get a faster Chromebook. The Acer 14 has a nice screen and build to it, but that's pretty much all you're paying extra for.

Man, I finally had to replace my c720 with a Macbook Air. Feels kinda bad man

>text editing

Chromebooks have terrible keyboards and no powerful offline word processors

just get a thinkpad t420

>>55699325
Ideapad 100s is as cheap as it gets for netbooks, not sure how cheap chromebooks are.

Seen the 100s for as low as 220 aud

>>55699781
That's why you install linux on them

>>55699781
You're full of shit. Chromebooks have better keyboards than any similarly priced Windows laptop.

>>55699781
LibreOffice, emacs, vim and so on are good enough

>>55699325
Asus x205ta

If I wasn't as paranoid as I am, I might have felt for this meme.

I instead bought a second hand 12 inch thinkpad last year.
Feels comfier than I expected and I'm even deeper into paranoia.
