I never imagined buying a laptop I would have to actually be buying into an operating system but that's exactly what you get here.It's a fun dinky computer to have to do pointless things with, like play cell phone games. Unfortunately it comes with ChromeOS which is an abomination as I've learned now after using it for a few months. It's like an oversized cell phone with all the limitations of a cell phone. The main saving grace is that you can install a Linux beta thing on it but it's actually just running in virtualized environment, you can't just install Linux on this which is a shame.You can't share files fluidly between ChromeOS and Linux either which makes it really hard to do something simple like download a file from the internet and then use it in your Linux environment.Another wonky thing from ChromeOS that ruined what could be a good laptop is the keyboard, many reviews make mention of the differences and I'm not going to go into details but basically if you are thinking of writing anything on this or developing on the go, this is not a really good option.There also aren't any USB-A ports so 90% of peripherals out there won't work without an adapter and that's annoying if you wanted to just, for example, get some files off it.In the end all you can do is watch YouTube without having to be plugged into the wall. I'd rather just buy a TV and screw with off brand TV OSes than mess with a ChromeOS book again. I really want to like this for how long the battery lasts and for how much it still can almost do. But almost isn't good enough.
