RE: Working with Bozz: Chromebook Repair 2
Hmmmmmm. Very interesting repair. Was that little bit there from the manufacturing process? Amazing if that's the case...
I really like this series. I've never bought a chromebook but after reading this and looking over your shoulder I probably will the next time I need to replace my laptop.
They have their limits, but they also have some huge benefits too. If you are a big Google user and you take advantage of the many programs they offer like Gmail, Keep, Docs, Drive, Sheets, Photos, it is totally worth it.
I'm using a Dell right now because I could order it with Ubuntu installed and no windows-so saved about $300 over buying the windows version. I had a heck of a time getting the right drivers installed but once that was done it has been good.
I do use all of Googles stuff. I was Beta for Gmail and Keep. I just love them all.
You definitely should consider a Chromebook then. Even to have as a secondary travel machine. If you find one at the right time you can get them for under $200. Stick with the 4GB of RAM though, it actually makes a little bit of a difference vs the 2GB.
I've found the latest versions of Ubuntu are very driver friendly. More so than other versions were!
