if you install linucks on it you can do whatever. Or you can use Crouton and just have a chroot to a full linux install (not as powerful). I wouldn't use it for gaming but I use it for all my other school stuff, really great battery and lightweight. I'm a CS major so my course stuff is generally just in a text editor or browser. Sometimes I use google docs but it's fairly laggy IMO

i'm not sure you can install linux on all chromebooks. i think there's some sort of weird system lock on some of them.

anyways it depends on what you do. if it's a science major you will eventually need some software that requires a desktop OS, likely windows. you can use the library pc for that, but if you're gonna buy a tablet/laptop, why not buy a suitable one right away, make it easier for you.

if you're an english major or something and just need office + gaymes sure, go for a chromebook, they're fine. and there's rly cheap ones

I've been using an Acer c720 for a couple of years now as basically my primary machine.

Works fine, but it runs out of memory very fast.

Open spotify, a couple of tabs, and you'll be freezing before you know it.

Overall, love Chromebooks, though.

Chromebooks are for sjw and liberals.
If you are one, then buy it.
