Life Don't buy a Chromebook - Page 2

What a giant piece of shit.

Today alone, it's restarted itself 9 times, the 9th just at kickoff. And of course, it now won't let me login because it cannot verify my password or PIN. This is the 6th time this has happened, and nothing other than time seems to be capable of correcting the issue.

The most frustrating device I have ever had the misfortune of owning.

As a bonus, the only audio feed I was able to find quickly on my phone, is the fucking Raiders radio network.

For anything more than than... get a real computer.

All I do with it is web browse. That's why I bought a $60 laptop.

I just bought a retirement laptop and decided to go back to the Apple world. I bought a 15" Mac Air.

Holy cow. This thing is magic. It's light as a feather, and it's silent as an owl at night. It has no fan, so it's completely silent. And then atop that, the battery lasts forever. I'm no longer tethered to an outlet. I just charge it at night and don't worry about the battery during the day. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I'm still using the same Acer Chromebook I bought 5 years ago for $300, and it's still going strong. All I ever use it for is internet browsing and watching YouTube videos.

I used to be all about Macbooks, but got tired of spending $1000 every 2 or 3 years.

Congrats on your retirement RM!

Macs are great. I still use my 2010 IMac daily and love my PowerBook Pro. Everything talks to everything, including our phones.
