    My HP Envy M6 has survived getting forcefully ported over to WIn 10, and gets stuffed in my rucksack and left turned on until it overheats and hauled to the hotel every week. She'll happily keep Queuebicle running in the background while I play Skyrim with 500 bajillion mods. She'll get a little hot, but all I have to do is keep a little pressure on my right wrist to keep some airflow going and I can keep sniping while catching HITs.

    Pros:
    read and rate a few conversations across several dimensions. makes an effort to pay fairly for people who complete it with sub 15/hr hourlies, although not really necessary as I doubt this should take anyone that long
    Cons:
    several 80 character min writing components

    After reading the thread, I'm at 8gb RAM, and I've allocated 16gb of HDD to simulated RAM (I haven't had any coffee yet, so y'all who know what I'm talking about know) and I haven't upgraded my wireless card to include Bluetooth because I don't need it because at home I can stream wireless and at the hotel, the TV doesn't support it it. But I have an HDMI port and can still stream from my laptop to the the Hotel TV.

    • They're slow as a dead snail that's decomposed and is a pile of sludge, trying to make its way through a swamp, fainting from the heat of Florida's everglades.
    • They don't run any real software at all.
    • (But you can get fantastic games like Bejeweled. Whee.)
    • The hardware is rubbish.
    • No storage.
    • Clunky printing.
    • Totally dependent on Google to keep working, so good luck when they get bored and decide they're going to abandon some critical bit of the software.
    • Google OS, so screw privacy.
    But at least they're cheap. You can tell by looking at them, because they look even cheaper than they are.

    Yeah, pretty much this. It's basically a glorified tablet with a keyboard.

    Couple notes: You can run linux apps and if you try hard enough you can just zap google OS off of there and put a linux distro on, depending on the hardware it's using. Intel is fine, ARM can be a bit dicey depending on the CPU.

    Other point: Not all of the hardware is rubbish, there's some really nice ones out there...but you need to pay $500-1000 for it and...just....y tho?

    I do, additionally, want to point out privacy is dead anyway unless you REAAAAALY try and most people don't want to go through that much effort, so...whatever.

    The best use case for Chromebook is pretty much education where you need kids to have a cheap machine that you don't care so much if they break it/lose it where it can access to the internet, do some document creation and, these days, join video conference calls.

    With cheap laptops you can usually do better not paying for some things out of box. Get one that is upgradable to 32gb ram and get it with 4gb and buy the ram separate. You can also usually get a similar in performance ryzen for much cheaper than intel and shave some cost there. Make sure to get a SSD of course but this too can shave some cost initially if you make sure it can swap/upgrade and you go with less storage than you may need right away. Just some observations from what I did with my cheap on last year

    I had one for a short time before I sold it because it was not worth the hassle.
    I made the mistake of not doing a better research of them.
    Most, not all, are not user replaceable for upgrading it.
    Slow as fuck.
    You will need a SSD or USB to save stuff, but you do have your google account which has 15gb of storage space
    Even with 8gb of ram they are still slow as fuck.
    You are limited to only using Documents from google, so No Microsoft Office or any free versions.
    No optical drive.

    This is all pretty much on point. For a Chromebook to be usable, you're looking at over $500. But if you're going to spend over $500 to get what's basically a tablet with no supported upgrade path, just get a decent laptop instead.
