So what's the deal with "Chromebooks" Is the ChromeOS

Chrome OS is basically a toy. It's literally just for light web browsing and Google Docs.

Even Android is a lot more capable.

It was made for >>57912483 + the eldery, it just werks, learning how to use a computer and finally for a mobile cheap laptop so you can use outside without worrying much (but if you live in a bad neighborhood then you never do that)

Only you retarded manchildren would call a computer that is functional in light-duty situations while being idiot-proof, impossible to lose data on, almost impossibly cost-effective, and dead fucking simple to manage as a fleet a "toy".

It's more than enough to do some work that doesn't require specialized software. It's perfect for most students. Plus, you can now wave your grilled almonds and caramel special edition macchiato with vanilla syrup and cream supplement around me without me wanting to slap your stupid flamboyant queer face because when you inevitably murder my laptop with your homo beverage, my work isn't lost.

Meanwhile, you're too afraid to send your 1600 slave tokens gaymin laptop to get repaired because you don't want them to see that what killed your actual toy was a massive amount of semen pouring though the vents, onto the board.

Chrome OS is just a Linux distro that auto-launches a web browser interface, while simultaneously recording and reporting all your activity to Google, as well as recording all audio 24/7 and video frame grabs when faces are detected in the vicinity and uploading all of it to the NSA free of charge (charges may apply).

Basically it's the epitome of botnet.

I have an acer c710 that I installed debian jesse onto. I seriously love the thing, it's perfect to carry around the house to shitpost/browse on. I think I paid $200 brand new. I am considering ripping it apart to use in a project, but I kind of don't want to lose it. I even looked into getting another to use, but they're not cheap enough yet.
