Bought my spousal unit a Chromebook....

[TeyshaBlue]

...for Christmas. Fooled around with it for a bit before I wrapped it. It's an Acer w/a 320gb hd, so she's not completely cloud dependent for storage.

Pretty cool....takes awhile to get used to doing everything in a browser window tho.:king

Really? Chromebook blows.

[TeyshaBlue]

Really? You're a retard.

[Venti Quattro]

So I'm a retard just because I think the Chromebook blows and I'd rather buy a real laptop with Windows or OSX in it?

[leemajors]

The chrome remote desktop could make it worth the low cost

[lefty]

lol acer

I have been wondering about these since I have been thinking about getting something like this for my wife. If you could, I would appreciate it if you would update this thread from time to time with reviews.

I don't know about Chromebooks but I know that after 2 acer laptops I"m done with them. I don't know if I just put too much beating by always carting mine around in a backpack but my last one is 2.5 years old and is really showing wear and tear. The previous one didn't last long either. I just refuse to buy another one ever.

[TeyshaBlue]

Fuck all y'all.:bang The Acer's screen crapped out.:lol
Got a refund. Now looking at an Lenova or an ASUS touchscreen laptop.:p:

I knew this would be an important exercise in self-validation for VQ.

Did yall use it long enough to like/dislike the idea of it?

[TeyshaBlue]

I kinda liked it, personally. The wifey was coming to terms with it when the screen crapped out. She's really hung up on the MS ecosystem. Then she got hold of Google Docs and figured out pretty quick that it was a good alternative to the Office suite.

[TeyshaBlue]

And VQ, you're still a retard.:lmao

I have an Acer monitor that I have been really happy with for 2 years now; almost afraid to post that after the way things backfired for you immediately after defending them though. :lol

Also, GFY TB :lol

No. You chose to buy the Chromebook despite it being an Acer and being completely less powerful than a bona fide laptop.

I know it's not my money, but suuuuck ittt.

[spursncowboys]

Chromebook is based off Ubuntu right?

[LarryDavid]

It is Linux based. I have the Samsung S550 model and I use it more than my tablets. As someone said earlier, the remote desktop feature makes my laptop usage almost nil.

Picked up the ASUS Q200E...it's a small, touch screen runing an i3, 500 gb drive and 4gigs of ram. Perfect size for her and the touchscreen interface is pretty killer.

I can see retiring my Acer in the studio and picking up a nice touchscreen lappy as a replacement. Being able to tweak levels, faders and channel strip settings on the screen instead of a dedicated control surface is a pretty compelling reason to upgrade.

[TeyshaBlue]

Finally retired the Acer and gave it to my daughter. Bought a Gateway all in one at Best Buy, 23" 10-point touchscreen running the Pentium G2030 dual core. It was pretty nice, but the OEM build of Win 8 included some drivers that wouldn't play nice with my USB interface (ZOOM R-16). Took it back to Best Buy and bought a Dell Inspiron One 23" all in one.
3rd gen Core i5 quad clocked at 2.7 but ondemand to 3.12, 6gb ram, 1tb 7200 rpm drive. All my production software installed with zero problems. It's a beast and just blasts thru large projects without breaking a sweat. Large projects that would take 5-7 minutes to render a mix now take < 60 seconds.
Haven't been a big fan of Dell in the past, but the price was right on this machine so I took a chance. Having a son that works at Best Buy helps.:lol

[The Reckoning]

still working my asus on high performance for over a year now. it's still as fast as it was when it came out of the box. fucking amazing laptop.

[TeyshaBlue]

Big fan of Asus lappy. My wife's has performed flawlessly and she wags that thing around with her everywhere. :tu
