Do you care to enlighten us on what niche this device is best for?
- nickysielicki 12y agoIt's a chromebook that runs a full OS. What this device is good for: * Grandma and Grandpa need a PC to read their email, watch YouTube, and maybe make a christmas card in Word. They don't care about playing Dark Souls II because they're not 12 year olds. They just need a cheap computer that isn't their eMachine from 2005. This outperforms it. * I want a web terminal in my kitchen for reading recipes, or in my garage for watching YouTube tutorials and running some obscure software to program my car.[1] Why is it better than a chromebox/book? * You need / want software that isn't available in a browser. And with this device, you don't have to hack on the BIOS to boot another OS. Where this device is beaten: * I want to a dedicated device to stream Twitch or Netflix (Get a $30 set-top device meant to do graphics intensive things, not a general computer) [1]: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=175 http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=175 // my brother uses an old laptop for this currently.
