Obviously depends on your needs. The cons are 2029 aue, only 2 USB-C ports, no stylus support, no fingerprint reader

The m3-8100Y is ancient. i3 12th gen / N305 Chromebooks have been $250-$300.

This is kind of beyond ewaste, the 8100y is an 8 year old dual core processor that was already painfully underpowered when it came out

Agreed, if this thing has a m3-8100Y, then it is definitely not worth more than $100, especially when i3-1215u/N300 laptops are regularly found for 225-300.

Yes, because you expect to keep a ( now $200) Chromebook for more than 5yrs.
Not sure if you meant to be sarcastic. Chromebooks should last more than 4 years (particularly for families with young children) because they are meant lightweight computing -- browsing and watching media. I still prefer my old lenovo chromebook because of its crisp picture -- it is slow for browsing, but perfectly good for watching media. I use other chromebooks for browsing with multiple tabs open. If someone is trying the chromebooks for the first time, they are fantastic for daily couch surfing and also for schoolchildren.

Agreed. I have the i7 version of these and I used it extensively in 23/24.

But then got m1 air for $400 and this device have been dead for me. I also wanted Firefox and it's addon (unlock for me), so moving out of chromebook wasn't choice. Only reason I wanted CB was stellar battery life then m1 Mac changed my opinion.

It's a shame Google never released a second generation of these. It's one of the best laptops I've ever used. The keyboard is fantastic. The only thing I'd change (besides a a spec bump) is to make the screen 16:10 instead of 16:9.

Mine was really starting to drag last time I used it though. I discovered it was largely the result of having Android virtualization enabled though. Once I disabled it breathed new life back into the old device. That said, it's still not a very powerful device either in performance or function (Chrome OS is pretty limited as it is and even more so without Android apps).

Probably will be turned irrelevant with the new Mediatek Kompanio Ultra Chromebooks

Dragonfly is what consider as successor.

I'm going to jump in because I am right now looking to replace my Acer Spin CB 713 which up until 2 weeks ago had been a fantastic machine I truly enjoyed using, exactly as the post above this mentions--couch surfing--but also the daily duties of semi-retirement with lots of interactions with web apps

But then the screen glitch that plagued a few of these hit, at only 2.5 years old. So now I'm looking at either another (semi) premium CB or exploring the alternative of a used Mac or Thinkpad-level laptop and use Linux, which I have running on 2 old laptop (my last CB and a 2018 Win laptop)


What's the buying advice on that front? particularly the Mac side, I guess. I was a Mac user but when I picked up a decent CB for half the price of a new iPad--and it had a keyboard before iPads did that, I didn't look back but maybe now is the time

I am now on 16 m1 pro for most of the time. If I were to replace CB, I would get M1/2 mac 16gb refurb or if chrome is a must, then dragonfly and certain Asus/acer models. But dont buy them at full price.

CB had its place pre 2020 where windows sucked or mac was too expensive, with $500 mac air, the problem no longer exists. For highschoolers, i would trust more on mac than Google prying on kids.

Are you running Apple's iOS? and if so, I guess how do you find it?

I just got tired of how apple managed photos and music and always had stuff going on in the background. Since I truly can do everything I need on a Chromebook, but unhappy about offerings in the mid and upper tiers, I had resigned to either a refurb or used CB with good specs, like my Acer Spin (3:2 display, "yoga" style tablet, with decent ram, storage, and keyboard; "mil-spec" but bad luck on display starting to glitch) OR an enterprise laptop that's a couple years old and use Fedora or Chrome Flex type option.

A Mac has the build quality and display I want though, that's for sure, both of which I've decided are high priority now

I am new to mac and I have been liking it. I used pixel phone as primary device and now use samsung ultra. And all my ecosystem is still google apps (photos, files and mails). But compared to CB, I am now use everything in browser in mac os.

I dont think you would miss anything in mac os that is only in CB.
