Anyone have hands-on experience with this one? Doesn't seem bad for the price.
Appears to be attempting to occupy a niche similar to the lower-end Acer Spin 713 that I have (with an i3, 4gb of RAM, and a 64gb eMMC drive), and at a similar price point.
This would be above the lower-end (e.g. $100) Chromebooks, but right below the upper-tier Spin 713 (with an i5, 8gb of RAM, and a 128 or 256gb [true] SSD) that usually runs $500+.
i've seen a couple people point out that a pixelbook, even at five years old, is going to perform better than most budget chromebooks available now, with generally better hardware. downside is last updates in 2024, but as i understand it google's solving that problem by separating chromebook os and chrome browser updates. they're available around 200. too risky? thoughts?
Friends don't let friends buy Intel Celeron/ Intel Atom/Intel N-Series!
Same crap different year.
Just don't. Save your sanity.
It's a Chromebook and that CPU is more than adequate for running Chrome OS. Have you checked any of the benchmark scores or any reviews of Chromebooks with these 4 core Jasper Lake CPUs? I guess not but you gave to play the smartypant here. Looks like friends don't let friends listen to your suggestions should be a better suggestion.

I would not suggest this for Windows but for Chrome it is fine.
