Forth Time Was The Charm

Honestly, this is the best Chromebook I've ever bought. This is my fourth Chromebook. it's an acquired taste. The first Chromebook I owned was Acer, over a year old. I sent it back the next day. the second was lg chromebase. very good calculator. The problem was that it only had 1.2GB of RAM. Which would be nice if I didn't listen to YouTube while surfing the web. There were dark sides between the downloads. What I liked about the LG Chromebase is that it had an HDMI input, which is very handy as Chrome doesn't do everything I want just yet. This allowed me to connect my computer and use Chromebase as a monitor. but I picked it up the day after Christmas because it was too slow. Third was Acer Chromebase. The information on the website was terribly wrong. The folks at Best Buy didn't even know if HDMI was disabled or enabled. I received it and took it back. Those awful Chromebooks led me to this little beast. It costs about the same as a tablet. so I thought why don't you try it. I bought it. Again, each site says something different about the specs. YouTube wasn't even good for the information I was looking for (most of the videos were taken with handheld devices and with very poor lighting). but I am very happy with my new purchase. The end of life of this Chromebook is October 2019 or later, which I think is fantastic as I typically buy a desktop every 3 years. That price is worth the sacrifices I'm willing to make in waiting for this OS to be awesome, and I believe it will eventually arrive. Amazon also had the lowest price of any seller I looked at. Screen size is great. Processor is ok. I can stream Amazon music and YouTube videos without shaking. I definitely recommend this tablet to anyone who just wants a computer. nothing to invent. something at the right time.
