i have no idea what it is but it sounds comfy

acer also makes the CB3 and C720, both of which are /g/ approved and the C720 is even FOSS

Chromebook user here: don't get one. Yeah they do basic stuff like web browsing but that's it. The OS is a gimped version of android and the specs are fucking awful.

I'm now struggling to sell the hp chromebook I bought on ebay. I'm really disappointed, this thing was more hype than function.

>gimped version of android
>can only do web browsing

someone doesnt actually own a chromebook

ChromeOS is its own form of linux distro, its more linux than android is, significantly at that, it use to be based on gentoo and parts of chromeOS today are still built on top of little bits of gentoo
its light as fuck, if you disable the desktop enviornment and browser the OS runs on about 60mb of ram, with the DE its still only about 250mb

its easy as shit to install linux on them, many have m.2 ports to install bigger SSD's in, some even have socketed i series processors and can be upgraded heavily

developer mode is a matter of pressing a few buttons and a clean wipe over about 3 minutes, leaving you with root access and the ability to do all sorts of neat shit

then again, some people just want shitposting machines, and chromebooks are good for that

OP, if you dont intend to do anything more than browse the web and watch videos, get the CB3, 170$ new, 2gb ram, n2840 celeron, etc

When did /g/ ever approve of Acers?

Do offline docs work in chromeos? is there an equivalent to the desktop application version of drive in windows that syncs files on your hard drive ?

ThinkPad 13 Chromebook isn't released yet.

It releases this month. It's pretty worthy to talk about.
