how is that a chromebook? 200 dollars vs 1,000
>>54773868
Then specify a price range faggot
>>54773868
Chromebook Pixel is >$1000
>>54773782
just get a thinkpad, I've owned both and thinkpad is way better
>>54773955
I don't want a bulky heavy piece of shit with no battery life
>>54773970
if you think x220 w/ 9cell batt is heavy you need to hit the gym bro
>>/fit/
>>54774001
isn't that like 4lbs? for a laptop you carry around, that's kinda heavy.
>>54774161
Are you a toddler?
>>54774227
>edc heavy shit because muh manhood
are you a fedora faggot?
>>54774259
>4lbs
>heavy
Anon please
>>54774357
Maybe YOU just carry your shit from the car to the place you're going to. If you live in a city like NY and you literally carry all your shit that you're going to need with you from place to place, 4lbs is too fucking heavy.
>>54774357
Thats way too heavy for a laptop that small, the thing is a dinosaur.
>>54774393
I barely ever use my car. I don't carry my laptop often anymore, but have absolutely no issues when I do. I agree that 4lbs is approaching the upper limit, but it's definitely not bad.
>>54774401
Nah
>>54774431
Any FHD celeron chromebook is going to weigh less than that and get 3x the battery life.
>>54774431
Get you a really light laptop for a week if you can, try carrying it with you, see how you feel after you switch from a 4lb to maybe 1.5lb.
It's a preference you know, I am willing to sacrifice power for portability along with longer battery life. Maybe you're different.
>>54774524
I don't even know what the battery is on an x220 so I can't argue that, but the weight is rather irrelevant.
>>54774534
I've got lighter machine's I've also carried around, it's irrelevant unless you're talking a 40 mile skate with it in a backpack, which is when I grab a UMPC or netbook.

x220 with the extended battery gets around 4-5 hours.
For comparison with a relatively new Chromebook, the Thinkpad 11e gets 12 with a far smaller battery.
>>54774627
neat
>>54774627
I wish someone would make a list of the smaller sized laptops 10" to 13" with benchmarks, year of release and battery life.
Right now that information is scattered all over the place.
>>54774603
ballmer was fucking funny tho
>>54774926
no because they're all shit
>>54773782
>buys a Chromebook
>puts another operating system on it
>complains that the hardware is weak
If you don't want a Chromebook, don't buy a Chromebook. It's super simple, really.
>>54775048
Some are shit. Some are nice and smooth af.
Inspiron 11.6 3000 2 in 1 is really nice.
>>54775087
um what? when did I complain that the hardware was weak?
>>54774161
get swole faggot
my t42 + bag containing:
>2 9 cell batteries
>charger
>drawing tablet
>external hdd
>misc tools
>notebooks
>pens and pencils
>mouse and pad
>the entire The Sims collection
weighs like 16 pounds or something
and i carry this shit to work every day
and bring it home every night
and you are bitching about 4 pounds
that being said, Cb3 for best price to performance, pixel for absolute best
>tfw still have Cr-48
Too bad the hinge is a bit busted.
>>54775236
hey if that is what you want to do, have fun.
I'd bet most people wouldn't, or wouldn't have the need.
First of all, two 9-cell batteries.. why? Are you never close to an outlet hours at a time?
external hdd.. that doesn't have to be heavy, at most a few ounces.
the entire sims collection? why don't you store that in your external hdd?
if you carry two separate batteries, why do you even need the charger?
I think you need a new laptop dude, T42 isn't serving you well.
can linux be installed on the acer CB3-131-C3SZ ?? Google doesn't come up with anything
>>54775421
>CB3-131-C3SZ
yeah
source: shitposting from debian unstable on one right now
non chroot at that, chrx
>>54775486
so it has seabios still?
>>54775518
dont need seabios for chrx, its a dual boot, no chromeOS in the background kinda deal
Would a Asus C201 be alright to run Ubuntu with GNOME on?
I understand it's running an ARM quad core so there may be some software compatibility issues, but I will only need it for Node JS development.
