[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chromebooks suck. Get a cheaper laptop instead [/quote] I know. - starts up in 5 seconds - battery lasts 20 hours - fewer virus issues - quick and auto updates - lightweight and durable - simple to use[/quote] They are glitchy, they run super slow, you can not store anything, it is a PIA to print anything out, and it is horrible for ZOOM. Everyone knows the "chromebook kids" on zoom. Their pics are grainy and their voices are not clear. Most just move to a tablet, phone or parent's computer for ZOOM classes. [/quote] That's what I was thinking too. I've never used a chromebook, and I had my kids on a macbook pro and surface pro this past Spring. I was thinking of taking the chromebooks the school will be providing just in hopes that the teacher/school would better be able to instruct them how to perform certain functions on it since "everyone is using a chromebook." But when I started looking at the specs, I was like, how the hell are they going to run streaming video while simultaneously editing a document, having their e-mail open, etc. I just don't see the user experience being good since Zoom already takes a heavy toll on the cpu even on a decent laptop.[/quote]
