Well, even they know it

Nah, its awesome. Bought one for my mom. She runs a small online business with it.. Its great. Blazing fast, no issues and cheaper than your phone or tablet. Plain chrome. I think thats enough for most of the non-tech people.

I've used Chromebooks since 2013 and never changed the OS, it does basically everything I need from a laptop.

@nmunro I doubt u know how to really use a laptop 😂

I installed cloudready (chromiumOS) on my old laptop never been this fast, I use it from time to time if I want to watch TV and do some work over SSH like setting up configs

it's frozen😂😂

@Prk123 Don't be a dick. I've got a perfectly usable development environment that incorporates a vanilla Chromebook and if you can't think of a way how that might work, I guess that just shows how uninformed you are.

@Alt-Grrr I have access to Vim, even with a Chromebook I CHOOSE to live this way and even if I didn't, it really is quite a cost effective way the whole setup cost £150 and that's allowed me to dedicate finances to other higher priority projects
For example saving up for a new heating system cos the one in my house is busted, or replacing the damaged floors or the busted window seals. My home requires quite the financial investment in repairs and renovations.

Don't presume that others can just go out and buy things, because I really fucking couldn't justify buying anything more expensive than I have.

@Alt-Grrr Your assertion that they're shit is an opinion and not an objective view point. I disagree, that is also not a objective viewpoint but I'm saying I enjoy it and have a way that works well for me, somehow this is considered wrong by you, but it doesn't matter because it's just your opinion, I have mine.

If you wanna buy a clearance laptop, good for you, accept that I pick a Chromebook, or don't. Whatever, but I've in no way changed my mind and am not going too.

See every other OS rant argument for how well those turn out!

@nmunro Don't get me wrong but the experience is extremely limited !!! As a dev, it's my basic requirement that my laptop can run possibly every dev tools i need ! ... I personally do a lot of stuff ... Chromebook is just not capable of doing half the stuff i need from my laptop!

Tbh, Chromebooks are the future. You can pretty much do 99% of things with web technologies nowadays.

And if you don't like chrome os just use gallium os on a Chromebook :D
