I'm typing my message on this exact Chromebook. I bought it for $250 back in the summer. It has been great, though as mentioned above, a backlit keyboard would be nice.

It comes with a year of Gemini Advanced and 2 TB of storage. When I tried to activate the offer, I got a cryptic message about my account not being eligible. After a useless exchange with Google Support that took over a week, they ended by saying the device was not eligible. English comprehension ain't their strong suit! I finally figured out that it was because my Google account was part of a Google Family group. I had to disassociate the account to activate the trial.

You can re-create the Family Group after activating the trial and share the 2 TB. I saw a message that you can only do this once a year. It looks like they updated and clarified the terms of the offer to mention the problem I encountered.

Recommended. I installed their Linux support and can run Signal Desktop, Brave and Reaper in that environment.

On the question about media, the internal speakers don't get too loud, but they're fine along with the mic for Google Voice calls. The headphone jack works well with my KRK headphones, plenty of volume and clear. I can cast from Chrome, YouTube and YouTube Music to my TV with Chromecast built-in.

Brightness is fine for indoors. I lower the brightness at night. Probably 200 or 250 nits.

As a device for my elderly mother-in-law, I think Chromebooks are great. I used to get calls about malicious pop-ups and error messages all the time with Windows 10. With a Chromebook, I maybe get a call every 6 months or so. Best Christmas gift we could have gotten her (to preserve my sanity).

I'm surprised this drawback doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet... No HDMI
Displayport over USB C though apparently. You could probably frankenstein together some connectors to get to HDMI.

Thanks. Told my sister and she bought one with the extra $50 perks deal. I did the same and bought one for myself with the perks deal.

Perks at (use your Chromebook):
https://www.google.com/intl/en_us...ook/perks/

Then looks for the anniversary deal. It will check your Chromebook and hopefully give you a code that you apply at Costco checkout for an extra $50 off.

2 years.

Anyone have any experience with the Allstate $70 3 year accident warranty? Seems like a good option for my hinge destroying 12 year old. Wondering if it's easy to deal with.

If the older chromebooks have reached their AUE date, consider the following options in the interim:
  • Installing a browser from the Google Play store. This will ensure that the browser is receiving security updates, even if the underlying ChromeOS sandbox is not.
  • Activate the Linux sandbox and install a browser in that environment.
Good luck!

If there is anyone that is not interested in the deal, but would be interested in sharing their discount, I would greatly appreciate it. This would be a perfect gift for my parents! Thank you.
