I believe this Asus model c223 will only get the automatic Chromebook updates until 2024--- since it was first available in 2018. Most of the newer models get updates until 2028 and 2029.

How does this compare in terms of performance to a tablet? I know they are really in different fields, but all I really want is something to carry for travel and watch HBO, Netflix on. This is cheaper than many of the available tablets and not a whole lot larger.

Should be faster than tablets near this price. More RAM. This should work well for most things. Yes the 4000 series are faster and newer but this should work.

The great news versus a tablet is that you'd still have access to Android applications. However, I would want to recommend something with even a basic 1080p screen if you are considering this for content consumption. Most of what you watch would potentially be optimized for that resolution.

Although the Lenovo 10e is arguably not a better Chromebook, I think there's a case to be made that it could be the better device for your application. The $30 premium for the keyboard may make the deal less attractive if you do need that for some productivity purposes.

Good luck!

Really had my fingers crossed for a touch screen given that this was a Costco deal. Other than that (which still isn't reasonable to expect for now from Intel-powered Chromebooks in this price point) this has a solid feature set for the price. The Intel-powered Chromebooks are the best entry point for those on the fence of "what's up with this Chromebook thing?" I always prefer a touch screen to improve interoperability with Android applications, but typically that means accepting a slightly weaker ARM CPU Chrombook at these $100-ish price points.

Chrome OS gets by without needing much in the way of CPU horsepower. Even this deal's "old" Atom CPU (surprised that kind of post hadn't already appeared) is a good, solid entry point.

Good luck!

Forgot to mention my other big upside on Chromebooks vs. a tablet: the update schedule! I'm assuming at this price point you're not shopping an iPad, and the Andriod tablet ecosystem is basically full of abandonware. Glorious, often beautiful, but typically poorly supported abandonware. The risk of older Android OSes is sometimes overtated, since even devices on Android 6 are still fully compatible with most applications in the Play store today, but the idea that you could have a device with a few years of updates (including updates to the underlying Android subsystem) makes Chromebooks real android tablet-killers for me.

Good luck!

You can't. Some items from Costco have a mandatory shipping charge. If you ever return for a refund the shipping charge is also refunded.

The RAM won't matter for watching Netflix or HBO.
The resolution will.
A new Fire tablet or used iPad will be head and shoulders better experience.

I'm saying this with the experience of owning all the devices referenced.

For everyone else in this thread, this CPU is SLOW. For running the most basic Android apps, you'll be fine. For web browsing with multiple tabs, it will suck though.

Multiple tabs in Chrome is basically the universal kryptonite. I still have an Acer R11 I use as a daily driver with an "ancient" (going by the slanders in the threads) N3150. That CPU's performance puts it in MediaTek territory these days (below something like this 3350, but not by much). Still a VERY competent device for basic Android apps (e.g. Khan Academy) and basic browsing (so running a single web app, like web-based gaming).

That's what always make me loathe to buy/recommend a new MediaTek device, for example, without some qualifications as I think the R11 is great for what it does but perhaps doesn't fully represent what a Chromebook could/should be anymore. Otherwise the extra oompf in the newer Atom CPUs has generally raised that bar for me enough to make them something which I can recommend in a Chromebook.
(Which usually already has qualifications about where those devices excel vs. an iPad/Fire tablet/Windows PC/etc.)

I also own a premium Chromebook, but I'm always loathe to recommend those to all but the dedicated Chrome OS aficionados or buyers with money to burn since the practical application of horsepower (or even extra RAM) within Chrome OS is pretty limited.... unless you do have an addiction to multiple open tabs(?).

Good luck!
Jon
