Same here, I'm happy Google Eve user since 2017 or was it 2018. The little beast has 16GB of RAM, and initially I was using crouton, but one crostini got better I switched to it. There are little things that are missing:
- No idea how to compile/link/load kernel modules. This is rarely needed, but can happen.
- No Vulkan support yet, OpenGL / ES seems to be fine.
Mmm.. that's pretty much it... And yes, Bonuses:
- Android!
- As posted above said - web browsing, NetFlix (DRM support)
And lately, since I've returned to the office and left my Windows machine at home while waiting for beefier at the office, started using Chrome Remote Desktop and that works super well with additional huge monitor and first time noticed how well the laptop also supports multiple monitors.
As last bonus: It can flip around and become an "iPad". Perfect when we were visiting our niece and I gave their 2 year old to watch youtube kinds on it.
- malkia 3y agoI have only one real complaint: - I can't find any newer chromebook laptop with 32GB of RAM (or even 16GB, apart from mine). Feel like 32GB is going to make it a lot better to use for development.
- seized 3y agoThen you'll love the Framework Chromebook, up to 64GB RAM: https://frame.work/laptop-chromebook-12-gen-intel https://frame.work/laptop-chromebook-12-gen-intel
- malkia 3y agoOh thanks a lot! Awesome!
- NoZebra120vClip 3y ago> Then you'll love the Framework Chromebook, up to 64GB RAM: No, the Chromebook has 8GiB RAM and this is not a configurable option. The Windows/Linux editions are more configurable than this.
- insanitybit 3y agoDell used to sell one with 32GB, and thankfully I grabbed a few at the time. Next time I'll probably end up grabbing a Framework.
- malkia 3y agoditto! THanks a lot for that one!!!
