Chromebook

I was just looking at some of the specs and it seems like its a $400 laptop with a $250 price point. I wonder how the OS is and if its portable enough to carry with you wherever you go.

I'm wondering what it can do that my phone can't. I'm in the market for a new laptop, and this might be an option.

But yeah, I thought it was funny when I heard it. But I guess at some point the Romans were stunned when their numerals fell out of favor.

Yeah. Was never a fan of cursive, but seemed odd. Like when finding out my son needed graph paper to do simple math problems in elementary school. I understand the world changes, but when you learn of the change without any context as to why it can be a bit surprising.

Yeah, I was surprised by the cursive thing as well, though I personally print any time I have to write (which isn't much).

Do they still teach how to READ cursive? And are people starting to "sign" in print these days, or do you learn how to sign your name in cursive, but nothing else?

That was my point when I found out, I'm not sure how they handle it. I simple Google search returns nothing obvious.

We don't teach much handwriting and cursive anymore. The thought is more is done on the computer-and voice recognition is getting rid of keyboarding.

Don't get me started on trying to teach kids how to read an analog clock.

But in my room, there is a sign over the clock.

Time will pass-Will you?

Anyone have any advice on which Chromebook to get? I've got a 9 year old and twin 6 year olds that use Chromebooks in school. I want to get two of them so that they can get some familiarity with them and also work on their homework as well.

Any deals? Brand?

My son has a Toshiba and recommended it. I picked one up and love it. Use the Chrome Cast app to stream stuff to the TV. Works great, boots fast and has keyboard. My old ass doesn't like the on-screen keyboards.

Bought one of these back in February to use when traveling. Here’s the purchase:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Wound up paying $160 for it because the shipper didn’t include a charger.

CONS

* The mouse pad can be frustrating when trying perform things like highlight, copy & paste, and left click
* You’re stuck with the Google Store as to what software you can and cannot install
* No customization what so ever. I’m used to hacking my Linux & Windows PC in all different directions. Not this guy.
* You have to login to your Gmail account to get into the operating system
* Not much storage on this particular model but not much is needed. This is designed for the cloud

PROS

* The price is amazing
* The display is wonderful 1080dpi so it’s easy on the eyes and great for watching video
* Battery life is amazing. It’s 12 hours easy unless you’re streaming video consistently
* It’s so light weight and thin it’s amazing. Like picking up a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue
* Very good-looking laptop
* Throws of NO heat. I mean NONE. My old laptop used to get hot at the PSU. This guy, NOTHING!

While this will never be anything but a travel buddy for movies, surfing the web, and some lightweight cloud work I can’t say enough good things about it for the ROI. I’ll always be a desktop guy when it comes for getting shit done. But some people can work on their smartphone so maybe I lack flexibilty in that area.

For the price: 5/5 stars

District got cheap ones for all the staff. Just HP 11.6". Even still I love the thing. Love opening it up and having it usable instantly.

I personally am looking to get a tablet as well. Considering Ipad and surface pro's but also am considering the HP chromebook x2 which is a detachable tablet as well and obviously much cheaper.
