Also post your Cog's if you're really not a dweeb and know your way around these baubles.

I've had a Chromebook for just over 4 years now, one of the early Acer ones. ChromeOS did the job until the updates started lagging on it and when I realised the App Store wasn't coming to my model I wiped it all and installed xubuntu. Best decision ever. As machines (never mind ChromeOS) they're the best bang for your buck.

I think on /pol/ they call this a... shill thread?

Because I bought an XPS15 and installed Windows 7 on it, and it's working wonderfully (: Chromebooks are low-end shit for facebookers.

Cloud collaboration is 2017. I can't be sorry if Linux doesn't keep up.

Keep it in the classroom, kiddo. There's no enterprise application for that deprecated security risk.

Is that the tech support guy you get at Dell when you have driver issues? Works fine on my machine.

I really wanted to but they're retardly expensive in Brazil

Works fine on mine as well, raj

I'm glad you and your family members enjoy cheap pieces of shit. Thanks for sharing, douche.

Literally going backwards
"Cloud collaboration" is the modern term for "Mainframe computing"

Lots of small dummy computers that just let larger servers do all the real work

Format it and install Debian.

Yep, it's marketing to the high degree. Why don't these tards realize we won't buy this shit. We're all thinkpads and linux/win07.

How is security if you don't have often system updates ?
And that someone get your Gmail Can know
Your locations , your agenda , your contacts and your visa mastercard ?

I use a Chromebook and the Google ecosystem at my university, because everything at the uni is integrated with Google - even the university email is basically a reskin of Gmail. It's actually pretty nice if you don't mind the botnet, which I don't with school affairs. Privacy is a lost cause when your school email is your real name. But for personal affairs, I wouldn't use one because of the botnet and Peppermint OS/Apricity OS basically being Chrome OS but good.

Google is watching everything you do.

Because it's literally still just Chrome guised as a really shitty really dumbed-down web/cloud based operating-system. Trust me I have one it's nice and all but Chrome OS literally so fucking dumbed-down that it's useless and pointless and you're tied and weighed down on the ChromeBook and Chrome OS by a shitty FUCKING TINY eMMC drive anyway. The only good ones are the FHD 1080p ChromeBooks that have good Linux support and the ones that literally any distros will run just fine out of the box on them.
