Anybody have one?
yeah

RE: Chromebooks

I have one

They're basically just for work use only (look up Chrome OS) but you can put Linux on them

Very lightweight on memory

RE: Chromebooks

#3
I was looking into getting one for college work. I've found out that they're quite limited but if you don't need it for many things, like school work, it can be good. It runs on the Chrome OS I know that. I'm interested in seeing what other people say about it, since I'm still interested in getting one.
Need me?Message me here!

It's a mini-laptop, so you can call it, slim, lightweight, running a light OS (Chrome Operating System)
Basically under Google's sponsorship or shit, I would recommend them for internet surfing, because their main feature, is a fast boot, and you can access the internet in no time.

AFAIK

I recommend getting one, they're very cheaper but if your looking for work only then it's perfect.

Yeah. I'm not sure whether I should get 2gb of RAM or 4gb. It'd literally just be for work, so not sure whether 4gb would be necessary.

4gb if you want to put Linux on it and play games

Oh, I probably wouldn't put Linux on it, so probably best if I went for the 2gb. Thanks for the quick replies man.

I'm currently running on 2GB of RAM on my Chromebook.

It runs smoothly, but things like Facebook and such lag the Chromebook a LOT. So watch out for that.
yeah

No problem and you can still put Linux on the 2gb

Also I recommend getting an SD card because Chromebooks usually have sub-20gb storage
