Thank you for making this thread I plan on hanging out here a lot while I figure out which chromebook that i don't need but definitely want and also probably after i've figured that out and also I was looking @ the new pixel CB last night and I have to say it is....ugly E: there should be an indication which models use the correct charging port imo e2: how much difference would i notice between the M3 and the M5 on the asus c302 in ChromeOS? in ubuntu?

MrNemo posted:Ok well that sounds like it's not that much worse than another laptop. Any suggestions on small firm chrome books with good build quality then? I'd be tempted with a Macbook Air but I really don't want to get into the Apple ecosystem. Chromebooks all look somewhat bulky but is that just design? C302ca is light and also good. Despite the xps13 im ordering next week theres a nonzero chance ill own that chromebook soon too I have...a problem

That one is just the regular designation sans processor suffix. Ill probably grab the m3 version though id like to try it first. As long as its snappy for like 15 tabs thats all i care about E: tho with that piece i have no problem waiting a bit if theyre likely to release a newer one soonish Worf fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Nov 16, 2017 |

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:I see the Samsung is pictured with a stylus. Does this have that capability? I'm not familiar with what kind of touch screens these things use. it wouldn't have similar stylus support to the samsung, no, but it wasn't a consideration for me and you didn't mention it either so if it's not a big deal i'd still go with the c302ca

I should say that the biggest reasons I prefer the c302ca to the samsung(s) is that the battery life is reportedly considerably better, and I actually do a ton of side by side multitasking so 16:9 is actually a much better aspect ratio for me. The 64gb storage of the c302ca doesn't hurt either considering I also wanted something to throw ubuntu onto potentially just to play around. I really doubt your daughter gives a poop about literally any of that, tho if shes gonna be netflixin' on it then 16:9 is prolly better for her

Between the Samsung Pro and the c302ca which is generally considered to have the better build quality? c302ca?

Resolution, 2,400 x 1,600 (235 ppi), 1,920 x 1,080 (176 ppi) chromebook pro vs c302ca pretty significant PPI difference there tbh. it will be noticeable but the 302 still will look nice.

The only reason I would get an android tablet is the form factor. Chromebook would be superior in this case. C302ca would be a good place to start. Hell, maybe even throw ubuntu on it if he's familiar with that OS

If a person can't use a web browser in 2017 they probably don't need anything beyond a type writer and calculator. ChromeOS is fine for people that barely know wtf iOS is too but pretty much for the same reasons as ChromeOS E: also re google support for ChromeOS:::: theyre trending to support it more than they ever have before, i expect to see tablet form factor chromeos supplant android, as but one example Worf fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Dec 16, 2017 |

Tunga posted:Saying that ChromeOS is bad for a computer illiterate person and that they should use Windows instead makes absolutely no sense to me. My dad is clueless and I got him a Chromebook when I moved out so I wouldn't have to go round and fix it all the time. He loves it and uses it every day. Never had a virus or other malware, never had a problem, it just works. I think ChromeOS is hands down the best option for a beginner. youre the only one mentioning windows i think

Atomizer posted:I was at the Google Store, had the i7 Pixelbook in my cart, and I couldn't pull the trigger. I want and am sure I'd love one, but can't justify the cost considering every other CB I have. Buy it. If its everything you want it to be, keep it and sell off the model(s) it will replace. If it doesn't fill the niche you need it to, sell the Pixelbook and recoup most of the cost. Eat that cake

Viper_3000 posted:So I'm looking to replace my 2015 MBP with a chromebook of some sort. The c302 and the HP listed on woot (in the OP) are the top contenders especially considering I haven't seen anything coming out of CES that looks like it would compete. I guess what I'm looking for is advice/comparison on build quality, the trackpad, and the screen, since I've grown accustomed to all of those things being pretty top notch on an Apple device. I know that the Pixelbook has probably the best trackpad outside of Apple devices that I've put my fingers on, but how do the 302 and the HP compare? Obviously the 302 copped a lot of design cues from Apple, how does the HP compare to that? Screen wise it looks like the HP wins out handily... If it was my $430 it would be really hard for me to justify spending it on anything besides the m5/8gb HP. The c302 is a dope rear end machine though. quote:I'm also tempted to just say gently caress it and pick up a base model Pixelbook, but I can't really pull the trigger knowing they were $100 cheaper a few weeks ago. be happy you arent looking at desktop video cards then lol

I found it by typing "woot retu" tab, then enter How do I return a damaged or defective product? quote:If the item you purchased is damaged or defective and was purchased within the past 30 days, please go to our Support page to report the issue.

silence_kit posted:I'm not going to comb through every post you made in this thread to point out how your posts are filled with advertising copy for Google, but in recent history when I pointed out issues I've noticed with my own Chromebook, you have immediately responded in a defensive way with some pretty stupid stuff. Chromebooks are consumer electronics products, not your firstborn son, or your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. if i got a chromebook the first thing i would do is probably throw linux on it so obviously im not sold on chromeos by any means i stll think you're posting in the wrong thread lol. you can't grasp why calling something 'half baked, only worth it to save money' would seem to put you at odds with commenting on something that millions of people use as intended with no problems. cool, maybe he should add a quote re: your networking and android stuff in the OP but i question how connected you are to reality if you think that the literal only reason to grab a chromebook is price point. part of the reason i grabbed an xps 13 was because some of the chromebook solutions i was eyeing were, lol, so similar in price that i figured eff it the amount of people that 'walk into' the laptop thread and 'walk out' with a chromebook is not insignificant when they realize that the features they require work all under a chromebook also double lol to this: quote:these are issues that only exist because Google decided to release features for their products in an unfinished state thank goodness this never happens in any other personal computing product line ever Worf fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Jan 23, 2018 |

NewFatMike posted:That appears to be the case, but I don’t think MSRP changed, so good get still? Huh, I don't remember but I thought it was less than $600 before. Thats totally just going by memory though. I haven't really kept up on them much since electing to go with a different model entirely I'm probably conflating that with the price of refurbs or the plus or something
