Spec wise, the new Chromebook destroys that pos.... and anything that would normally make Windows a better choice than ChromeOS is lost due to that netbook's horrible specs. Here's the new ChromeBook. https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=chromebook_samsung_wifi Skeptics? Try using only Chrome and its apps for a week or month. See if it can actually replace your home needs. Only automatic exclusions would be: However, question to ask on those, would you do either of those on a laptop priced less than $500? This ChromeBook is only $250. |
Looks like people use "destroys" very losely these days. I don't see any destruction there.
The POS netbook has same screen size and resolution, same RAM amount, more battery life, more hard drive space.
Chrome book is lighter and has an SSD (tiny) and bluetooth. Whoopie doo!
Both of these things are a POS by my standards. But the chromebook comes dressed in a suit and tie.
In any case, you don't seem to realize that people like a cohesive ecosystem not one patched with Google services wherever there are holes. Sure you can use a chromebook for browsing and work and possibly many other things that you do on a day to day basis. But why would you? 99% of the people are used to doing it one way on the Windows PC or a Mac. What is the chrome book doing better than those two that should convince the population to drop what they are doing and support Google's baby OS?
Other than people who are in love with Google and their services, I don't see any reason to buy the Chromebook.
