Hi again Travis. I'm replying again as I've since done some more searching on Chromebooks and what I found did surprise me. There are literally hundrends of Chromebook and Chromebox models out there and the specifications vary widely, right up to Intel I7 jobs with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage as you will find in the top model of Google Pixel Book Chromebook computer. My Lenovo machine is a dwarf compared to those specs with 64GB SD and 4GB of RAM though this shouldn't be a huge issue when running "Stand-Alone" Androids Apps which you can do apart from the Online Chrome OS though to have the power of a Pixel Book would be absolutely wonderful so I might just put one of those on my savings goal list though - given the Pixel Book 2 is a couple of years old now - Google may very well release a replacement model. As my house is dominated by Mac machines so it now seems to be dominated by Android devices so I'll just walk out into the backyard and drop dead <smile>.

Technology Enthusiasm! <techno-chat@techno-chat.net> Subject: Re: [Techno-Chat]: Chromebook Up And Running I tried a chromebook last year, when I bought it for my daughter. I found it usable, but extremely limited in what it can do. It would appear that if you're looking to do anything online, (basically, anything browser based), then chrome os is a perfect fit for you. If however, you're like me, and do nearly nothing on the web, the chrome book/os is not a good fit. Honestly, I see how it could be useful, it just isn't for me. ------------------------------ This post, like all posts to the Techno Chat E-Mail group has been scanned by our server-side antivirus/malware solution.
