Where are the real specs? Google have gone and copied what Apple do, and just dumped marketing blurb everywhere.
"Intel® Core™ i5 Processor (Dual Core 1.8GHz)" - What's the model number? There are numerous Core i5 processors and their performance varies, which one am I getting? http://www.cpubenchmark.net/laptop.html http://www.cpubenchmark.net/laptop.html
32 GB SSD - What kind of read/write speed? Standard SATA or mSATA interface?
4 GB DDR3 RAM - Is the RAM soldered or user upgradeable? How many ram slots? What's the maximum capacity?
Perhaps I'm in the minority, but at that price, I do actually want to know if I'm buying an appliance or a computer.
- wmf 14y agoChromebooks are definitely appliances. I only found two current Dual Core 1.8GHz i5s: http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced/?s=t&FamilyText=3rd%20Generation%20Intel%C2%AE%20Core%E2%84%A2%20i5%20Processors&CoreCountMin=2&CoreCountMax=2&ClockSpeed=1.8%20GHz http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced/?s=t&FamilyText=3rd... The SSD specs don't matter because you can't run anything that would stress it and officially it's not replaceable. Likewise, RAM is officially not upgradeable/replaceable.
- bitcartel 14y agoThat's a shame. I'm sure quite a few people were interested in putting Linux onto the machine.
- Evbn 14y agoAre you certain these are 3rd gen core chips?
- rplnt 14y agoProbably not since they are using some old chipset.
