So when are you getting you very own chromebook?
Im in love with this thing and you should be too.
Install Gentoo
Install gentoo

Never. I have a nice T420 that i can triple boot (or quad boot, if i wanted BSD/chromiumOS or something) with 3 batteries that was cheaper then the shittiest 1366x768 celery chromebook.
>>56988454
What the hell is gentoo?
>>56988454
ChromeOS is basically Gentoo with some modifications
>>56988441
Chromebooks are deprecated
>>56988441
When I can run something that isn't ChromeOS on it without resorting to developer fuckery.
>>56988441
How about you buy a $300 Walmart PC and disable everything except Chrome.exe BECAUSE THATS LITERALLY ALL A GODDAMN CHROMEBOOK IS ITS NOT A REAL COMPUTER FOR THAT PRICE YOU COULD GET THREE T510S WITH I5 CPUS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Got a x61 with chromiumos
>>56988441
Yeah they're pretty great, to bad they seem to be slowly phasing them out. Had a samsung chromebook and it was the greatest thing ever until the screen was stepped on 2 years later.
>>56988441
Can you share that 'pape pls??
>>56989363
I want a cheap light-weight laptop, what do you recommend? I was thinking of getting a chromebook and installing linux on it
>>56988524
Yeppers, I won't use any other Laptop. Only Thinkpads.
>>56988441
It has a poorly designed UI. Why do app windows show up when you click on the Chrome icon? It makes finding non-app windows really annoying.

T410S ThinkPad is super light/great battery. And you'll still get the good build and i5, usually just under $100 too
>>56989363
$300 Walmart PC.....
Forgive them Lord, For do not know what they do. Thinkpad X or T series.......nothing else.
>>56989436
>T410S ThinkPad
I like the specs but the screen is little bit too big, I'd rather stay under 13 since I already have an asus laptop with a 15" screen. Still it is now on my radar
>>56989486
These little guys are the same price, but they just don't have that look that the T models do
>>56989506
Thank you!
One more question, is ram upgradeable?
>>56988441
When hell freezes over
>>56989363
If someone uses "chrome.exe" the majority of the time on their laptops and want a laptop that's lightweight and has really long battery life why is a Chromebook a bad choice?
>>56989426
>Why do app windows show up when you click on the Chrome icon?
What do you mean?
>>56989400
If you're interested in Linux look at the Acer c720.
literal scam
just get t420 chinkpad for the same price but even sweeter and better deal
>>56989529
Always. Even the CPU is upgradable on these things
>>56989626
Because it costs triple what a more durable/future proof machine does
>>56989829
>Because it costs triple
Most Chromebooks are under $200.
>So when are you getting you very own chromebook?
2010.
>>56989902
>$170 for a web browser is not a rip off
>>56989996
Most people can do everything they need to do on their computers on a web browser nowadays since more applications are moving to the web. But Chromebooks offer high battery life and painless updates.

Daily reminder that ChromeOS is Gentoo.

I'm no Chromefag, but you know you can install Linux on Chromebooks, right? Or that ChromeOS is just modified Gentoo (https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/packages/portage).
>>56989400
Lenovo Ideapad or pic related.
