Title: Acer Chromebook
Post by: wes on August 05, 2022, 12:02:01 AM
Got one a few days ago.....$184.00 marked down from $350.00 ....seemed like a no-brainer and the guy who sold me my used laptop a few years back saw me coming.

Gotta` call and find out more about it and watch a few tutorials on YT but so far it`s great.

Anyone else here got one and if of so pros and cons please.

Thanks for that GR......I`ve seen that but didn`t read it as of yet cuz I`ve been busy as Hell....a few drawbacks to it as I`m finding out but I only use it to browse the web so thus far it`s not too shabby.

My old laptop weighed 405 pounds....I could have done deadlfts with the fucker......I also have a tablet I never use and a desktop PC that my wife uses that I bought for myself but could never use as she was glued to some game hence I bought the older laptop from a guy who loved selling the POS to me.  LOL  ;D

I had a Chromebook and returned it within 48 hrs.  It seemed completely useless vs my XPS 13 and 15.  What am I missing?

They are good for web-browsing and email, if that's all you mainly do, they are probably fine...

That`s about basically all I do....not much literature came with it at all,but as mentioned lots of stuff on the web I`ll check out later,....I have to be in the mood to read that kinda` crap.

Thanks guys.

I've had my Acer Chromebook for 7 years and it still works like new. Would never go back to a clunky PC or laptop.

Most people have way too much computer than they actually need. Why pay thousands for a super computer the pentagon uses when you are only going to use it to go online?

I went to Wal-Mart to buy a mid priced laptop cuz mine just sucked balls.....anyway a sales associate says come with me I may have something that will interest you.....it was the Chromebook on clearance for $184.00 from $350.00

Donn`t have a link as that was the last one at that particular store but it`s an Acer Chromebook 317....I`d call the stores in your area....they might have some left.

The big drawback with a Chromebook is having to use a Google account and Google Chrome browser.

Google is now spying on you all the time.

You can use other browsers if you install Linux.

Let google spy on Wes, maybe some of those fat fucks will get in shape because of it.

Wes - Chromebook is designed for what you want - email and browsing......TOTALLY FINE.

Let's be real.  A Chromebook $150 equals an iPad $1200. From owning both and finding them both useless I'd say they are equal in functionality.

Bingo.  Mine lasted a good 10 years.   I only use laptops at home for streaming fights and other sports.  No reason to spend a fortune.
