How is it really?

trash

Devices that allow reflashing bios to intall proper linux are good
Installing linux through crauton is shite
Chromeos is even shiter

Pretty good for the average user. Not good if you're going to be recording/producing music or editing video. Editing photos is fine, and doing some LIGHT video editing should be pretty OK, but otherwise it's just for browsing the web, saving some images/songs/videos, and shitposting.

good for facebook and emails and google docs
everything else meh
nice to install android apps though

Honestly, I used Chrome OS as my primary OS for about a week, and it's not that bad. There is no games, or real software though. It's all web-based. Internet is always required which is a downside. It's good if you only use a web browser on your computer. You can install Android Apps, but the emulation is quite buggy (you'd be better off getting Android x86)

I got mine, used it as my main, then went back to Windows. There is just nothing you can do with it.

Also, Google docs just can't hold a candle to Office, and email only available in shitty webmail clients makes it worse.

It does everything your mother, daughter, or grandmother needs.

It can easily do everything a professional software developer needs.

Engineers will always be cucked to Windows

I had a Toshiba Chromebook 2 for a month before returning it.

I enjoyed it for the most part but there were too many small things it lacked, and it added up. First week great, second noticing some limitations, and by the third week I was pretty much set on returning it.

The model I chose had somewhat poor support for chrotoun and non-existant support for full Linux so that influences my feelings.

I could see it being better if you got one of the $100~ (or less) models

Looks alright, but I mean, I wouldn't use it.

How..? Can you even use a text editor on it?

>>56932554
Either through crouton or chromebrew. I'm running spacemacs on my chromebook. There's also caret which is a native chrome app.

That actually looks like it could be of some use if I decide to go with Chrome OS.
