I like my chromebook as a cheap, portable remote desktop client to a more powerful windows machine - and for watching youtube on the device itself. But what dies faster than any component, in my experience, is the emmc module. My understanding is the larger the size the more life it will have due to wear leveling. Ive found its hard to find a decently price chromebook that has replaceable ssds (m2 etc). The selection is really slim. This is one thing I wish could change.
Just add why they're so handy. For $199 i got
*14 inch anti-glare IPS display
*fanless, battery life 3-7 hours
*RDP (thru ssh tunnel) into a beefy windows desktop or laptop *you have IMO the best windows experience on a laptop.
can easily bring a compact external battery it charge it up over usb c. never have to worry about finding a power outlet or running out of battery
- serf 3y agoyou can buy a celeron no-name/Chinese brand ultrabook for like 250 bucks, and that generally comes with a minimum of 8gb of ram and an M2 slot. Chuwi is one example. I'm not sure that the value-add for Chromebooks as personal machines is still there at that point, at least personally. For me 50 dollars is worth the freedom of operating system/double the ram/ddr5/3:2/decent resolution/m2 interface/separation from Google.
