Original Coupon Deal

Stacks with 92JBFIVE to take a further 5% off = $474.05

I posted the 4GB RAM version last time it went on sale but apparently "4gb should not even be allowed to be sold as 'new'". Well, here's the 8GB version:

12" HD (1366 x 912) IPS, WLED-backlit touchscreen display
Intel® Pentium® Silver N5030 processor (1.1 - 3.1GHz)
64GB eMMC storage with 8GB RAM

Charges off USB-C and auto-connects to the same WiFi as your Android device (or to your Android's 4/5G). Perfect, lightweight device for school so you don't have to lug around an MSI/Alienware or risk having your MBP stolen. Bought one, love it.

    “4gb should not even be allowed to be sold as new'"

    And neither should eMMC storage…

        Nobody is buying a $500 12" chromebook to nitpick about eMMC and 1366x912 resolution, c'mon guys.

          That is true. Most people are spending less than $300 for that tier of rubbish

          Most people who buy a $500 laptop (specially one that comes with a Chrome OS) DO want a decent FHD screen and faster storage than this eMMC crap.

                    Until then, idrc what you would spend money on, ChromeOS sales are now outpacing Mac (which I have no bias against, I own 3).

                      You are still fresh here so be patient and you will learn a thing or two.

                      ChromeOS is fine for basic tasks nothing less and nothing more.

                        ChromeOS is pretty much Linux, similar to Android. Regardless, most people's needs are basic, but they can still want quality.

                        C'mon, you're not new here. What's your excuse?

                            I post a 4GB version for $350 and people complain it's not 8GB. I post an 8GB version and people complains that it costs more than $350.

      It is ChromeOS, not Windows. 4GB was fine.

      And eMMC is still faster than a hard drive.

  • barge-in hunter on 26/03/2021 - 14:41

    I have a chromebook and 4gb ram is surprisingly usable. Remember, they use a very light version of linux with no windows bloat.

  • Jenny Death on 26/03/2021 - 14:43

    If the screen was at least 1080p this would be an ok price.

      Depends on your use case.

      Here you go, 1080p on a 13" 4GB RAM for $100 more for 169 PPI instead of 136 PPI 12" 8GB RAM:

      Neither are better, they're just different. That would depend on your personal use. I wrote up some key points for you to consider…

      HP Pros: (more of a laptop)
      - Bigger screen
      - Self-supporting screen
      - 8 GB RAM
      - Expandable w/ Card Reader

      Lenovo Pros: (more of a tablet)
      - Higher resolution screen
      - Detachable keyboard
      - 128GB SSD Storage

      • norkle on 27/03/2021 - 14:09

        I'll add that the Chromebook is not a perfect tablet. If using my X2 in tablet mode, I prefer Android apps. And Android apps prefer 8GB (cos VM) (also, Android apps love the Duet Helios, but for my usage I can't stand the slowdowns with 4GB - even with 8GB I get them occasionally)

          Different strokes for different folks. I use all OS'.

          Windows is my favourite for utility, macOS is my favourite for processing photos and videos, Linux is my favourite for programming, but ChromeOS is my favourite for everyday browsing.

        I'm being constructive and warning others how terrible of a deal this is. Your inability to take any any feedback that poses a different idea than your own is the real problem here - just have a look at your own comments through out the thread.

        Also a pro tip - 40% off a bs rrp is still just a bs deal for suckers.

          If you're so confident then prove it.

          Find a comparable device, ie ChromeOS, similar build quality (at least aluminium), 2-in-1 touchscreen, USB-C, 8gb RAM, expandable, etc, for less than $475, feel free to post it.

          Until then 😂
