On this price range, are there any advantages of using a Chromebook rather than purchasing an old refurbished business laptop such as x230?
They seem to be going for the same price range.
- youllknow 8y agobecause x230 is ugly pos, heavy, big while buttons still feel cramped and has bad battery life (compared to any new chromebooks)
- vuln 8y agoI daily a x220. It's perfect.
- tluyben2 8y agoSame here; lot of battery life too under Ubuntu/i3.
- tluyben2 8y agoWith the 9 cell I get easily 15 hours while developing. Not sure which Chromebooks you are talking about. But I prefer the x220 over the 230. Haven't tried the 240 which is now starting to get cheap second hand here.
- sowbug 8y agoSame as at any price range: security and managed updates.
- mattbreeden 8y agoWeight, battery life, fan usage
- pavanky 8y agonot sure what the battery life on x230 is. I usually get 6-7 hours atleast on my current chromebook. Besides this was an impulse purchase. I was tired of my home laptop and wanted something so I went to best buy and purchased it within half an hour. I can't say the same for x230.
