On the price front - https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/inspiron-11-3000/spd/inspiron-11-3180-laptop https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/inspiron-11-300... - that is a windows laptop for $180. Do you think a chromebook will have better $/year than that?
On the durability front - I guess you dont use thinkpads :)
- kbutler 8y agoI picked up one of those for Black Friday last year. Nice little machine, but the 32GB drive is not enough for Windows - Windows update failed within 6 months because of disk full - even with no user data. Way too much hassle I ended up putting Linux on it - faster and could keep it updated. But still quite a bit of hassle. It's sitting in a drawer now. But my old Samsung arm Chromebook XE303C12 still gets used. I do miss the more complete keyboard on the Inspiron, though.
- mav3rick 8y agoGood luck with Windows on 32 GB.
- dman 8y agoThis has 64 GB for ~260 - http://plugandgear.com/lenovo-ideapad-120s-11-6-inch-hd-laptop-intel-celeron-n3350-dual-core-up-to-2-4ghz-2gb-ram-64gb-emmc-802-11ac-bluetooth-windows-10/ http://plugandgear.com/lenovo-ideapad-120s-11-6-inch-hd-lapt... At any rate I hope you agree that 5 years (from launch) is not a long time to support a device. This policy is wasteful to the environment and not empathetic towards a large section of users who would find it challenging to divert a few hundred dollars every 3-5 years.
