Acer Chromebook 512: Intel N4020, 12" 1366x912, 4GB RAM, 32GB eMMC Expired

You use the touchscreen for Android apps, dingus. Windows 11 is also designed for touch screens.

if it was 1080p i'd totally give it a shot. been wanting to try chrome book

Looks like a very cheap netbook! lol

What is the deal with the power adaptor/brick? I assume I can just use a USB C cord into a phone charger as a replacement (even if it wouldn't charge as fast)??

You can, I do it all the time. Of course charging speeds will vary depending on output.

HAHA... This is Chrome OS. This isn't an android tablet with a LAPTOP build or using Windows 11. You are confused. Why would you prefer to lift up your arm and move it around a chromebook laptop over the touchpad or using a mouse? MORE WORK unless you prefer to do it the hard way...... Android tablet is completely different than a chrome OS LAPTOP! How do you hold a tablet? How do you hold a laptop? Difference in weight too. Did you think this was a chrome tablet? I have a Lenovo Chromebook Duet.... I only use the touchscreen when I am in tablet mode and disconnected the keyboard. When I am connected to the keyboard (horizontal), I use the keyboard and touchpad because it is common sense and works the best. It is foolish to have a keyboard and touchpad connected and me swiping with my finger on the screen. I am sure there will be some people or you prefer typing on the screen when they have a physical keyboard that works more effective..... Mouse > touchpad > finger on screen when it comes to chromebook laptops.

Why would anyone prefer to lift their arm up and move it around a laptop at a desk when there is a more effective touchpad or maybe my favorite and most effective option the mouse with scrolling wheel? Duh.

*** "Windows 11 is also designed for touch screens".... Not that well though. Windows 11 touchscreen isn't anywhere close as a good as touchscreen android. Yes. I have a touchscreen windows laptop and while it has improved, it isn't quite as polished as android touchscreen. That is why I prefer the keyboard with touchpad or mouse with Windows. Windows is the best of the bunch with the keyboard/mouse and the worst of the bunch with touchscreen.

Not everyone here is Indian. In the future mention that if your link takes someone to a non English speaking video.

Android apps run natively on chromeOS and the play store is prominently featured, many use their computers differently than you. Pump the brakes on all that dogma, the market for touch screens is there for a reason- even if your opinion disagrees.

I have an old Chromebook that is technically no longer supported but it still has the newest version of Chrome OS. It's an Acer from 2014 that still manages to get onto the web for basic things. It's probably the same size as this one. For kids, this is probably fine since most schools utilize browser-based applications, aside from students who are learning CAD.

Quick info regarding Chrome OS: the future of Chrome OS is positive IMHO. For tech nerds such as myself, Google's use of its Tensor SOC, which will be in new Pixel 6/6 Pro phones, means Google is trying to create a more cohesive Android/Chrome OS ecosystem like Apple. This means Google might put out its own Chromebook and/or tablet with custom silicon similar to Apple's M1 chip. Chrome OS itself might "merge" with Android with the advancement of Fuschia, which would make Google much more seamless in app development. With that being said, cheap Chromebooks are probably not as future-proof as they once were, even with 5 years of OS updates and native Android app support.
