ETA: I've yet to try a Chromebook, but based on what I've read it won't meet my needs.

well by all means, allow an article you've read to form the basis of your opinion. if you look back through my posts on here i ridiculed the chromebook until i bought one for my daughter who is in high school who is a HUGE apple fan.

she freaking loves it. i love it. there's almost nothing you can't do with it and the KILLER APP???

--- wait for it ---


the battery life.

that fricking 10 hour battery life easily gets you through a day or 2. thats TEN HOURS OF CONSTANT USAGE, not that it dies after 10 hours.

its worth it for that alone, but the fact its ready to go BEFORE you can completely raise the cover is the icing on the cake. no more waiting 30 seconds for my sleepy little dell laptop to start spooling up resources and shite before i can actually do anything on it.


so...what is it you want to do that a chromebook won't meet your need?

and if you come back here after googling 'what can i not do on a chromebook' and claim that bullet-list of things as your 'critical needs' i will laugh at you.
