      Fools, even on better hardware ChomeOS is not worth a cent, every update installs further problems and lowers performance on these POS

      • TheDukeOfNukem on 01/01/2025 - 11:30

        You can turn off auto updates…

        • Series4Episode10 on 01/01/2025 - 11:33

          That's the fix? … no, not a fix, a work around, who needs that?! replaced mine with a 2010 Dell E4310 1st gen i5 and it runs rings around the ChromeOS thing I have!

            @Series4Episode10: It's not a fix because there's no real problem. My Toshiba Chromebook 2 from over a decade ago still runs fine with its shitty 2gb of ram on whatever the last update it got is

            You have a problem with new updates (allegedly), so turn off auto updates? Seems to fix your problem.

    I'd take a refurb 8/9 gen business laptop over this any day.

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/884081
    $189 and would beat the pants off that celeron.

    The ones with 1080p screens come up still sub $300.

      Depends what you want it for. ChromeOS has its charms.
      I still use my old IdeaPad Duet as a tablet. E-books, android games, …

        ChromeOS might, but Celerons dont. A hamster in a wheel would beat the pants off a Celeron. Just hearing that name makes me want to puke !

      • Series4Episode10 on 01/01/2025 - 10:41

        Chromebook's charms … charmed mine to the landfill! … well that's where it belongs, it's sitting on a shelf and a very old (2010 E4310) Latitude replaced it.

          I sincerely doubt a 15 year old computer is better (at doing ChromeOS stuff) than a Chromebook.

            @TheDukeOfNukem: It's Running Bookworm Puppy, an Arch distro, and it runs rings around my pathetic ChromOS POS! there's no defending ChromOS … it does less with more!

              @Series4Episode10: If the layman could install custom Linux distros, ChromeOS wouldn't need to exist

              The layman can't (the layman doesn't know what Linux is(, and thus, ChromeOS exists as a cheap and simple alternative to windows.

              Linux is about as far from that as you can get, so it's not even apples and oranges, it's closer to apples and a cactus in how different their objectives are.

    I'm confused by this product, as it's listed as a Chromebook Plus, but it's below Google's minimum specs for being a Chromebook Plus.
    (crap cpu, low storage etc)

    Looks to be a bad/scummy listing, since none of the media on it says Chromebook Plus except the title.

    Was given a low end Lenovo Chomebook … thing can barely handle 480p video now, each update the thing gets worse/slower/bugier … Chrome OS is the pits! does not come with a video app that can display subs, if you install the linux extension the thing barely runs at all let alone run linux apps!

    FFS … don't waste your money!

    • TheDukeOfNukem on 01/01/2025 - 11:33

      Thought you threw your Chromie into landfill and replaced it with a 15 year old bugger?

      • Series4Episode10 on 01/01/2025 - 11:37

        re-read my statement!

        • TheDukeOfNukem on 01/01/2025 - 11:39

          charmed mine to the landfill

          So you meant something else by this?

            @TheDukeOfNukem: PS, did reread it… VLC has been available for ChromeOS for around a decade now. The built in player does support subs too, though the codecs it can handle is admittedly a bit limited.

            • Series4Episode10 on 01/01/2025 - 11:44

              @TheDukeOfNukem: It's those limitations that add up, it's a crap OS that's getting crappier! and the ChromeOS vers of VLC is rubbish, installed the Linux extension to run the full vers of VLC took a full 24hrs to install … the thing was unusable during the install then the thing hardly ran at all!

                @Series4Episode10: Keeps getting crappier? When I was on Chrome a decade ago it was just a browser with a JavaScript torrenter that could run Doom but not even Duke3D in DOSbox if you didn't bother to install Crouton Linux.

                Then it got millions of apps via Android support a couple years later.

                And now my current Chromie has (profanity) Steam on it and plays plenty of games, without any messing around or developer mode stuff or Linux builds at all.

                You can hate Chrome all you want, for whatever reason, but your story is made up and your opinions bollocks.

                • Series4Episode10 on 01/01/2025 - 11:55

                  @TheDukeOfNukem: Good for you, you'd be doing more with a better OS … it's crap on low end hardware (aint that what the post is for … a POS barely capable useless low end thing?!) ChromeOS continues to get crappier on low end hardware! on better hardware, you have it's capabilities as a buffer, I promise you!

                    @Series4Episode10: Yeah, definitely. You can do a shitload more with MacOS from 10 years ago even.

                    No one buys ChromeOS because they want to do more though, you're missing the whole point of ChromeOS.

                    • Series4Episode10 on 01/01/2025 - 12:01

                      @TheDukeOfNukem: Aint missing it one bit! sick of it's inabilities, I'm referred to by friends as a "Knock about guy" who'll make something old and worn work, but ChromOS is the Fecking pits! AND not worth my effort, anyone considering this crap offering should be warned!

                      There's a bunch of people on reddit crying about how bad ChromOS is, even saw someone write up an article on Quora about it's shortcomings.

                        @Series4Episode10: Sure, there's a "bunch". There's always a bunch. There's also countless people who've been championing the OS for years, and now even more than ever with continued improvements in it's Android support.

                        I'm glad you get 20 odd years out of each laptop you buy, when you find them getting super slow and hard to use, I'd recommend you install ChromeOS Flex on there to prolong their lives even further. There's a bunch of people on Reddit saying how good ChromeOS Flex is, even saw an article on Quora about it's usefulness.
