Yeah, that's fair and it's something that I've considered.
To be honest, it's the flexibility of Ubuntu's software that I really like. I like having multiple workspaces, and I like having my VPN running so I can access my devices easily.
I realize it's doable on ChromeOS, but I'd rather keep that clean and untouched. It's easy to boot into if I need to. Who knows, after a while, I might change my mind.
- sturadnidge 14y agoBe interested to see how you get on with it after a few months. Also be interesting to see if someone gets FirefoxOS running on one of these, won't be me though ;)
- graue 14y agoPretty sure Firefox OS is only running on phones so far, as the screenshots suggest: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefoxos/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefoxos/
- padraigm 14y agoLike graue said, Firefox OS is for phones only. However, installing Firefox was just about the first thing I did when I got my Cr-48. http://i.imgur.com/eCWwJ.png http://i.imgur.com/eCWwJ.png
- camus 14y agowhat's the point getting a limited laptop , when for the same price you can get a better configuration and run any os you want easily ? i really dont understand how chromebooks are usefull.
- HorizonXP 14y agoIt's the form factor. I had a difficult time finding a machine that was thin, light, and had good battery life. Most machines in this price range did not have any of those attributes. To get what I wanted, I had to be ready to spend somewhere near $1000. I'm not ready to do that until next year when Intel's Haswell comes out. I'm tired of heavy machines that require loud fans. This fits the bill perfectly.
