Partdon the pun if I cite Microsoft Edge as an edge case; another example that few might attempt would be Samsung's mobile browser. In both cases, I expect the developer is intentionally avoiding x86 devices (though Microsoft appears to have gone even further, limiting most everything that isn't clearly a phone).
Otherwise, I love to advocate for alternative browsers on ChromeOS as it is a long-term option for chromebooks past their support date but which won't be granted this feature through the current development path for ChromeOS which will eventually decouple the Chrome browser from the... [aboutchromebooks.com]. At the same time, I would recognize that the vast majority of chromebook users will stick to the Chrome browser or may consider a fully supported Android browser like Opera (which widely advertises support for chromebooks via the Android Play store [opera.com]). In the same way, very few developers seem to bother with restricting chromebooks as an option for their app in the Play store even though that is a lever they can indeed enable (as the Microsoft Edge example illustrates).
Thanks for creating an opportunity to discuss alternate browsers on ChromeOS and also note the less-than completely universal nature of Play store support. As tablets and even some phones have often experienced the latter, it doesn't always get a mention even though it is still part of Google's Play store experience (either blame Google for allowing the broken experience and not enforcing universal support, or blame a given developer for avoiding platforms as part of their strategy).
Good luck!

I have peeked at this repair video [youtu.be] and wondered how hard it would be to eliminate those magnets which seem to be positioned on either side of the trackpad.
Good luck!

re: CA425 screen

Also, it doesn't have great viewing angles which is both a pro and con.
Here's Google's link to AUE: https://support.google.

What I cannot stress enough is how awful the screen is. The color is really bad, regardless of brightness settings. Everything has a faded brownish tinge to it. There are no settings to correct this problem, I tried my best to fix it but it's a hardware issue. Whites look stained, and non-white colors have that tint in it.
I get that this is a low-cost config, but I had an old eeePC900 with a legible keyboard and a better color (albeit tinier and lower resolution) monitor than this.
That said, I don't see a huge reason to upgrade to the C433 if you have the C425. They perform similarly in terms of web browsing and running apps.
you can also find used touched screen win machine with 16gb and upgradable storage
for less than 150 with backlit..
As far as touch screen...it's handy and when i switch back to my main windows laptop i get annoyed when i go to touch the screen and it doesn't work lol
I payed $119 on the non touch
