That Chromebook was never released in Europe.

they were nice a few years back when they were cheap, and had removeable SSDs. Now they're expensive, and use crappy emmc. Their value has depleted.

It's not a thinkpad therefore it's trash.

Any smartphone can do much more than a chromebook, and better
Robert Ross
Windows 10 Education no longer costs distributors anything to license, so if you're looking for a cheap laptop there's no price difference between Windows and Chrome OS.
At that point, why even bother considering the Chromebook?
David Garcia

Wut, chromebooks run on ARM CPUs, they are completely different machines.
Levi Garcia
You're still better off just getting a PC. It's like having a diet PC honestly.
Colton Thomas
Just a meme, has a few good songs, but that's it. Pirated all of them.

The cheapest Chromebook worth a damn has a Celeron.
Justin Brown
Useless and botnet of the highest order

They are shit, especially the ARM-based ones.

The good is that they are cheap, small, and usually run a RISC Acorn CPU, which affords it much better battery life due to the reduced power draw. This makes them ideal for school kids who really only need a word processor, calculator, and a web browser.
The bad is that the software pre-installed is all Google, which has some severe implications for security. This is a worry, since Chromebooks are mostly geared towards minors. Yes, Chrome OS is GNU/Linux, but with so many layers of Google abstraction it isn't really obvious.

They could have been OK if they continued to be cheap.
