I'm in high school and apparently, you need to return it at the end of your senior year to graduate. Chromebooks don't even allow me to transfer my MP3 files from the computer to my MP3 player once the file has been downloaded onto the computer.
I feel your pain mate :'( As an IT Tech these pieces of shit were forced on us by management to be provided to our student/clients and it was a fucking nightmare :(
I don't like chromebooks either. I don't see how this is for school if you can't even download anything. We have lots of things and requirements to download for my school but no, chromebook doesn't let me download the things. Not just that, I had an EXTREMELY hard time working on a school project with this chromebook. Now, I'm not saying this is a bad thing to buy, I just do not recommend it at all. Just buy a cheap windows laptop.
I hate chromebooks too. the eXPerience is too restricted. you can't even run a virtual machine on a chromebook unless you install linux. luckily, you can trick a chromebook into erasing chrome os completely, and install windows. so not all hope is lost with these things google calls a "LaPtOp".
how chromebook was complete ass google: lets make a computer that has a extra key to trigger people company: alright how do we do this google: do we need to make this work for files company: no "NOBODY" uses files anymore.
Chrome OS is so overly complicated with simple things like with printing you have to get google cloud connect to windows pc then print wile windows just finds local printers than prints
@@JDaTopo yeah I spent a lot of my time before chrome books existed with windows 7 and XP and it was actually much better than most modern OS'es but before I started actually trying out chrome books I used windows 8 and 10 and those were even still better than chrome OS and in fact in elementary school I still used windows and apple products before my school chromebook years came along but in middle school my teachers decided to buy chromebooks that were also being managed by a administrator (my elementary school tech products were not managed) and now I have a "laptop" that only lets you do online stuff, (without WiFi it is useless) and to top it off, most websites are blocked for barley any reason like facebook, or twitter which means that especially during quarantine I can't really contact friends. meaning I hardly use the chromebook. I agree, I also think that even a phone or a Ipad can still do better than a mostly useless device
i have a chromebook to do school and it SUCKS, THE ZOOM LAGS SO MUCH, AND I WANTED TO TRY TO DO THE ETHERNET, AND THERE WAS NO OUTLET ON THE POS CHROMEBOOK!
So I'm using the ASUS Chromebook Flip . A 10" full aluminium chromebook. Im using it for work, it fits in my back pack, it light, has at full day of battery, cost about $270. It runs Chrome OS. It cant get any viruses, when you want to update the OS you only reboot the Chromebook (takes like 10s) and it upp to date. Try that on a Mac or a PC. And by the way it also runs Android 6.0 not in dualboot. It's integrated into Chrome OS.

My school has Chromebooks and they suck. They are from 2016 and they don't bother to upgrade them or fix them. My Chromebook I was assigned quit charging and they gave me one from a student that graduated last year and it's in worse condition than the one I had. They didn't even bother to fix the charging port. A lot of people got tired of the school Chromebooks so they opted to bring their own devices. I would bring my MacBook but I'm afraid of it getting damaged or lost.
I only bought one so I can shitpost or do homework while taking a nice relaxing bath. And it was only $40 on eBay since it was a Walmart store demo. I'd never pay for one of these new lol.
40$ is honestly what this thing should cost like sure the battery last long but it’s because the overall specs are so underpowered it basically uses no power
@@munchingcherry8634 exactly, the CPU (Celeron N3060) uses like 6 watts max, its not even actively cooled with a fan or anything because it never gets hot
They’re annoying as heck. My touchpad broke and I can’t move my cursor, my screen keeps glitching, the keys are super loose, and I hate it. And I hate whoever greenlit this into production.
i like how the chromebook ads say that they are meant for gaming, which is the biggest fucking lie I’ve heard. If you wanna play games then build a desktop, not buy a laptop, especially one of these
The biggest issue for me BY FAR is that these things "Expire". Once they drop support on your old Chromebook after 2-3 years, it becomes literally unusable. I swear the only people who buy these pieces of garbage don't know that they have a built in expiration date. Seriously, get a laptop. They can do everything a Chromebook can do and much, much more. On top of that, Laptops do not have a built in expiration date.
I'm In That Weird Part Of RUclips Again No cost, no infections, and no management overhead there!! You're right, surprised they didn't standardize on them. ;)
I hate my Chromebook because I wanted something to draw with (I'm an artist and want to be an animator) so i wanted a laptop with a drawing tablet or something. My mom decided that she would buy me one so it would be a touch screen and computer in one. Unfortunately I can't do anything because i can't get any programs for computer, and only 1/2 the programs from touch screen devices. I hate it. I want to tell my mom this, but since it was a gift I don't want to seem like a spoiled rich kid by asking her for another laptop that isn't a cappy chromebook
My school gave chromebooks out to us to use through out the year because of the Pandemic, and they Absolutely Suck! I literally had to go through 3 of them because they either refuse to connect to the internet no matter what you do even though the internet works fine, Crash, Glitch so many times, etc because they are that bad. I'm about to have another one screw itself. My area just got snow today so I hope that it doesn't cancel so I can see if I can switch it out. 😐 This is so annoying.
Same my school gave me this lenovo chromebooks from 3 years ago and it can't connect to anything not even the Internet it keeps disconnecting and the screen keeps glitching and crashing every time yeah chromebooks suck
Chromebooks now in October of 2018 are able to be used as a list of things (you can trust me because I spent over a year researching a Chromebook's full potential). They are compatible with %70 of android apps, all Chromebooks are compatible with dual-booting with Ubuntu Linux using Crouton, most Chromebooks also come with support for Mac OS if you do the right set-up, and finally, THEY CAN RUN WINDOWS OS! So before you say anything about any hardware do your research first, and if you still stand with your claim, then make a RUclips video about it.
Technically, It's not a laptop. It's an Android-based ARM device. As long as people know what they're buying, Chromebooks are perfectly fine. I suffer from chronic illnesses, and sometimes I just don't feel well enough or rested enough to work on a desktop, and I am tired of cheap overheating laptops with horrible thermal designs and refuse to spend $1,000 that a good durable laptop would set me back for. I got a Dell Inspiron 17 5000 with AMD Ryzen 5 and 12 GB of RAM a few months ago for around $600 new, and it started to badly overheat after mere 15 days! And I was mostly running business/development stuff. Didn't run any games at all. I returned it as fast as I could and never looked back. There's something to be said for the simplicity of these Chromebooks. They are far from great, but they do serve a purpose. And they don't overheat to the point when you can make scrambled eggs and bacon on them even with the cooling pad running and all 😂
@WWCC Good points for sure. But it's kind of still sad that one has to buy a used laptop or spend over $1,000 for a new one to get some real quality these days. What you wrote makes perfect sense, and I agree with it, but it omits the simple fact that the quality of budget laptops has really gone down the drain in the last few years. It's no surprise that many people who don't actually need a laptop have moved away from them.
Everything he says is bs the only thing bad about the chromebooks is there software and model which can't use things like a simple download game such as roblox.
My parents did when I was In 5th grade. I discovered linux though but because of its limited storadge, When all my friends played minecraft and half life and roblox and doom etc. I played flash games because I ran out of storadge to install a cracked minecraft. Although I loved the pacman game clone that ran in the terminal. Later my parents saw my linux and i told them how cool it was but they factory reset my chromebook because I was able to pass my parents restrictions and watch youtube longer than their parental control program\chrome extention allowed me to
The current chromebooks we use are ATROCIOUSLY slow, incredibly fragile, and cannot do anything. it takes nearly a minute (with good connection btw) for something like youtube to load, for example.
this is what you get when you want a laptop for school and can have a nice desktop at home I'd rather have this to take to school and then have built a pc to use at home.
all chromebooks deserve to be burned and never be produced again, my school gives them out and istg every single day I'm on the verge of breaking the thing like its laggy asf, it cant even run Discord without it lagging out.
Back in 2019, my school used Windows 7 / 10 desktops. During the pandemic however, our computers were switched to Chromebooks. Why do you need to change something that was good, worked, and everyone loved?
ITS SwItChInG tImE "Tired of your game getting interrupted by an update?" (playing league of legends) *hands them a chromebook instead* bruh u cant even play league without jailbreaking and factory resetting and going into developer mode and shet.chromebook is not even meant for games
bruh i literally saw some comments on itch.io like this: "Why i can't play this game on my chromebook?" or "Can you make this game for chromebooks pls"
I have a HP 13 G1 chromelbook and I love it. I'm a college student that have to type essays everyday. by the way you don't need Wi-Fi to open files. just make files available offline and you're set. don't hate on a product that is getting attention.
Agreed. I usually got an terrible "ASUS" Chromebook just to play games. The touchpad always being broken. it can't connect to RUclips multiple times. I usually have 1000 ping in Roblox.
Its funny how in this video he makes fun of Chromebooks and Acers and i'm watching this on an Acer Chromebook. getting a new computer tho. great video, cheers.
They have less memory than my phone. If you want to do anything useful, you have to use convoluted external apps. There is no offline mode. There is no DVD/CD port (although a lot of new computers seem to lack this). It is more convenient to write google docs than it is on your phone.
@@culan_SCP if you know what a DVD is, it is essentially an older version of a DVD that has less storage capacity, but they are still used, mainly for music, which I believe is what the format was originally designed for If you don’t know what a DVD is, but have a games console that uses optical discs, the discs that your console uses are essentially identical in size to a CD and a DVD (the discs that modern consoles use are Blu-rays, which have a higher storage capacity than DVDs or CDs) All modern PC optical drives can read both CDs and DVDs, and some can even read Blu-rays (all 3 of those are the same size of disc)
if it supports linux enable linux (beta) in settings and there are 2 ways. 1: if its a deb file, download the deb show in folder double click Click install 2: if its a tar.xz or tar.gz or anything with a tar download nautilus (sudo apt install nautilus in terminal) Download the tar.xz file *VERY IMPORTANT* Where ever it downloaded, copy to The linux files. open nautilus right click on the tar file (2 finger click) extract here open terminal cd into the folder look in the folder for a .s or runnable file type ls find the runnable do ./the-runnable-file.sh Done!
I used to do youtube so my mom got me one to edit videos. How can i record them when i dont own a camera and the computer cant even run xplane or roblox. Plus the playstore sucks. Im gonna ducking sell it.
A few counter points if I may. 1) They cheap, last forever and have great battery life. My Acer c720 is still kicking strong after years of heavy use. The touchpad and keyboard are great. 2) Yes, you can't run Windows apps or any serious Games on it, but they were never designed to do that. They are the perfect browsing device. Viruses and Malware aren't really a thing with Chrome OS making Chromebooks the perfect device for general browsing and especially online banking. 3) The ENTIRE Google Play store is coming to Chromebook! I feel like you are judging the device on things it was never designed to do. If I want to play games, program or do some 3D printing I fire up my PC. But if I just want to do some general browsing, check my emails, pay my bills or monitor my 3D Printer I do that from the comfort of my couch with my super light and whisper quiet Chromebook.
1. HAHAHAHAHA ACER Those are the same laptops that have poor build quality and always break. They'd never hold up in a high abuse situation like a school or real world usage outside a coffee table. 2. Linux is better than Chrome OS, especially since it respects your freedom. 3. Wow, a shitty store that spies on you. www.theregister.co.uk/2016/09/12/turn_off_location_services_go_ahead_says_google_well_still_track_you/ Even a fucking netbook can let you program or do 3d printing. I mean fuck, even a C64 let you program it, now you get these watered down thin clients/dumb terminals being sold as devices to consumers. RMS was right.
I've had multiple Acer products and they have never failed me. It's not hard to actually take good care of your products. Linux is a far more powerful OS than Chrome OS, no one is arguing that. But for the simple purpose of browsing, the light and completely hassle free Chrome OS is perfect. As for the privacy concerns, I'm one of those people that doesn't really care. All of my personal content that I care about is stored on a private NAS with encrypted shares and encrypted offsite backups. And I have no issue if Google tracks my location via my phone's GPS, in fact I have that history enabled on purpose because I find it interesting to see where I've been. I have different devices for different purposes, a Windows PC for gaming, programming and 3D Printing because my 3D design and printing software requires a good GPU. I have a Linux VM that I use, but when I want to simply browse I use my light and quiet little Chromebook. Hell, between RDP and SSH I can do a lot of stuff from my Chromebook. Regardless, it's all just opinions and everyone is entitled to theirs.
I have an Acer Chromebook Spin 15, it runs flash games, the keyboard is nice and its 15.6 inches, it has a backlit keyboard. 53 gigabytes of ram. Its touchscreen and a convertible and it has a charger on both sides and its compatible with any type of headphones, or earphones. It has a nice texture and design. It updates in like 2 seconds, unlike other computers/laptops which take a decade to update. It starts off like a nanosecond. It has virus protection built-in. And it has great quality. And 12 hours battery life it has google play store, two upward-facing speakers, waterproof keyboard, Wide view in the webcam, and it has a USB-C for data, display, and power. I can go on and on. You don't have to like Chromebooks, but you don't need to be going around because you can't afford to buy a decent Chromebook, this Acer Chromebook Spin 15 is all for the price of, 399.99 dollars. Great price for a Chromebook like this.

Unfortunately I can't do anything because i can't get any programs for computer, and only 1/2 the programs from touch screen devices. I hate it. I want to tell my mom this, but since it was a gift I don't want to seem like a spoiled rich kid by asking her for another laptop that isn't a cappy chromebook
When he says you could chop through it like it was a stick i just thought "I'd like to see u try"
its actually very easy
@@burntporkchops6251 then why doesn't he?
@@vlasnia maybe because it’s his school computer or something idk what he said about it I barely listened to his story but it costs money and stuff
Your pfp has blessed me
My school gave chromebooks out to us to use through out the year because of the Pandemic, and they Absolutely Suck! I literally had to go through 3 of them because they either refuse to connect to the internet no matter what you do even though the internet works fine, Crash, Glitch so many times, etc because they are that bad. I'm about to have another one screw itself. My area just got snow today so I hope that it doesn't cancel so I can see if I can switch it out. 😐 This is so annoying.
Same my school gave me this lenovo chromebooks from 3 years ago and it can't connect to anything not even the Internet it keeps disconnecting and the screen keeps glitching and crashing every time yeah chromebooks suck
Chromebooks now in October of 2018 are able to be used as a list of things (you can trust me because I spent over a year researching a Chromebook's full potential). They are compatible with %70 of android apps, all Chromebooks are compatible with dual-booting with Ubuntu Linux using Crouton, most Chromebooks also come with support for Mac OS if you do the right set-up, and finally, THEY CAN RUN WINDOWS OS! So before you say anything about any hardware do your research first, and if you still stand with your claim, then make a RUclips video about it.
Can you help me get windows os?
I'm using an Acer Chromebook 15
CB3-532, with Intel.
(If you can.)
I’m so happy my mom bought me a $1200 Mac instead of this
I would expect a billion dollar company to do better
Technically, It's not a laptop. It's an Android-based ARM device. As long as people know what they're buying, Chromebooks are perfectly fine. I suffer from chronic illnesses, and sometimes I just don't feel well enough or rested enough to work on a desktop, and I am tired of cheap overheating laptops with horrible thermal designs and refuse to spend $1,000 that a good durable laptop would set me back for. I got a Dell Inspiron 17 5000 with AMD Ryzen 5 and 12 GB of RAM a few months ago for around $600 new, and it started to badly overheat after mere 15 days! And I was mostly running business/development stuff. Didn't run any games at all. I returned it as fast as I could and never looked back. There's something to be said for the simplicity of these Chromebooks. They are far from great, but they do serve a purpose. And they don't overheat to the point when you can make scrambled eggs and bacon on them even with the cooling pad running and all 😂
@WWCC Good points for sure. But it's kind of still sad that one has to buy a used laptop or spend over $1,000 for a new one to get some real quality these days. What you wrote makes perfect sense, and I agree with it, but it omits the simple fact that the quality of budget laptops has really gone down the drain in the last few years. It's no surprise that many people who don't actually need a laptop have moved away from them.
android apps what about steam or origin not shitty mobile apps
Unfortunately people do not know what they're buying because of the false avdertising
I dropped my chromebook on carpet once and I got dead pixels on my screen like millions so I cant use it anymore
Oh god
chromebooks are ass
@@purplepeoplemuncher I know I didn’t even care that I broke it because chrome books suck 💀
SD cards can have sometimes have more storage than chromebook
Up to 1TB even my 2002 Toshiba Laptop got more storage than Chromebook lol I mean 60GB IDE HDD > 16GB eMMC
If u dislike u don’t understand how crappy these things are
*buys cheap Chromebook, complains about how it looks so cheap* are you serious??
haha yeah
watch the video immediarte dissliker
Marcel Wolke Lol.
250$ cheap?
Everything he says is bs the only thing bad about the chromebooks is there software and model which can't use things like a simple download game such as roblox.
What kind of monster buys there kid a chromebook.
My parents did when I was In 5th grade. I discovered linux though but because of its limited storadge, When all my friends played minecraft and half life and roblox and doom etc. I played flash games because I ran out of storadge to install a cracked minecraft. Although I loved the pacman game clone that ran in the terminal. Later my parents saw my linux and i told them how cool it was but they factory reset my chromebook because I was able to pass my parents restrictions and watch youtube longer than their parental control program\chrome extention allowed me to
a fucking loser,thats who
I think he's just salty because he got stuck with this thing as a school computer. We've all been there.
The current chromebooks we use are ATROCIOUSLY slow, incredibly fragile, and cannot do anything. it takes nearly a minute (with good connection btw) for something like youtube to load, for example.
this is what you get when you want a laptop for school and can have a nice desktop at home I'd rather have this to take to school and then have built a pc to use at home.
Enabling Linux requires 4.5 gigs to download. It took 75 percent of my drive space. Most distros are around 3.5 gigs.
Chromebooks are like the plague on youtube right now
i refreshed a yt video about 6 times and all the ads looped
all chromebooks deserve to be burned and never be produced again, my school gives them out and istg every single day I'm on the verge of breaking the thing like its laggy asf, it cant even run Discord without it lagging out.
It still looks like it's running xp in 2003. Seems to be as fast too, maybe faster. My surface book boots to useable in like 5 seconds.
Not only that you only get 5 years of support from Google.
Why does this have so many dislikes? This guy is spitting facts
Probably because they already bought the thing before seeing its garbage and hate to see that what they got sucks.
Ok
Back in 2019, my school used Windows 7 / 10 desktops. During the pandemic however, our computers were switched to Chromebooks. Why do you need to change something that was good, worked, and everyone loved?
so they switched for no fucking reason?
@@aperson696 Precisely.
Very user unfriendly. They really suck. Thanks for the video. The word needs to be spread about these cheap laptops.
They make a pretty good power bank considering the large battery and a weak computing system

ITS SwItChInG tImE "Tired of your game getting interrupted by an update?" (playing league of legends) *hands them a chromebook instead* bruh u cant even play league without jailbreaking and factory resetting and going into developer mode and shet.chromebook is not even meant for games
Mini & Commando tbh I run Linux natively with a Windows 10 vm with no updates so I never get harassed about an update lmao
i agree, man. just save up 500 bucks for a non-shitty laptop like a grown up
Lol, it doesn't make sense. You should use a latest model in your review. How the hell you reviewing 2012 laptop in 2016?
EXACTLY it's like he just wanted some views to make money so he just bought the worst laptop he could find just to call it trash
bruh i literally saw some comments on itch.io like this: "Why i can't play this game on my chromebook?" or "Can you make this game for chromebooks pls"
Chromebooks are pretty cool playing games...

Agreed. I usually got an terrible "ASUS" Chromebook just to play games. The touchpad always being broken. it can't connect to RUclips multiple times. I usually have 1000 ping in Roblox.

Yeah you've just learned the hard truth of why you're given chromebook for free
At least it’s free

Its funny how in this video he makes fun of Chromebooks and Acers and i'm watching this on an Acer Chromebook. getting a new computer tho. great video, cheers.
i'm watching this on an Acer Chromebook, and I plan to trick it into installing windows. which is 10 times better than chrome os.
how do you trick a chromebook into installing windows?
HAHAHAAA!!! You poor little cheap-ass fucking bastard...........
They have less memory than my phone. If you want to do anything useful, you have to use convoluted external apps. There is no offline mode. There is no DVD/CD port (although a lot of new computers seem to lack this). It is more convenient to write google docs than it is on your phone.
I agree but what is a cd?
@@culan_SCP if you know what a DVD is, it is essentially an older version of a DVD that has less storage capacity, but they are still used, mainly for music, which I believe is what the format was originally designed for
If you don’t know what a DVD is, but have a games console that uses optical discs, the discs that your console uses are essentially identical in size to a CD and a DVD (the discs that modern consoles use are Blu-rays, which have a higher storage capacity than DVDs or CDs)
All modern PC optical drives can read both CDs and DVDs, and some can even read Blu-rays (all 3 of those are the same size of disc)
I know this guy is a troll but he really is spitting straight facts
he is not trolling it’s true u can’t download shit or anything
@@Toddles I hate Chromebooks too lol
Since my chromebook doesn't have ventilation it will run really slow
i have a 2012 dell chromebook, which is absolute garbage by today's standards.

I have a Samsung Chromebook and it is good. (I'm not a gamer) But if I want to do more, then I CAN'T???!
I got mixed up between a Chromebook and a desktop so now I'm stuck with a Chromebook
me: *Gets Chromebook*
also me: *trys to download anything*
Chromebook: *N O D I S F O R W I N D O W S > : (*
if it supports linux enable linux (beta) in settings and there are 2 ways.
1: if its a deb file, download the deb
show in folder
double click
Click install
2: if its a tar.xz or tar.gz or anything with a tar
download nautilus (sudo apt install nautilus in terminal)
Download the tar.xz file
*VERY IMPORTANT*
Where ever it downloaded, copy to The linux files.
open nautilus
right click on the tar file (2 finger click)
extract here
open terminal
cd into the folder
look in the folder for a .s or runnable file
type ls
find the runnable
do ./the-runnable-file.sh
Done!
@@y857n it will tell me this file is for windows or mac
@@FootyHandles Thats on the creator then, if they didnt want it for linux, he/she didnt want it. Stop blamin chrome os for everything man :/
How have we devolved this hard to the point that we actually made an OS that's worse than Vista?
Its far from worse mate.
vista dod get fixed but even if dident vista would still be better and even windows ME is better than shitty chrome os
Even worst then windows 95
I used to do youtube so my mom got me one to edit videos. How can i record them when i dont own a camera and the computer cant even run xplane or roblox. Plus the playstore sucks. Im gonna ducking sell it.
Firerage Did you sell it yet?
I want to sell mines too but my mom wont allow me to
Install GNU/Linux on it
sunny wait why?
the worst is you cant open exe files
A few counter points if I may.
1) They cheap, last forever and have great battery life. My Acer c720 is still kicking strong after years of heavy use. The touchpad and keyboard are great.
2) Yes, you can't run Windows apps or any serious Games on it, but they were never designed to do that. They are the perfect browsing device. Viruses and Malware aren't really a thing with Chrome OS making Chromebooks the perfect device for general browsing and especially online banking.
3) The ENTIRE Google Play store is coming to Chromebook!
I feel like you are judging the device on things it was never designed to do. If I want to play games, program or do some 3D printing I fire up my PC. But if I just want to do some general browsing, check my emails, pay my bills or monitor my 3D Printer I do that from the comfort of my couch with my super light and whisper quiet Chromebook.
1. HAHAHAHAHA ACER
Those are the same laptops that have poor build quality and always break. They'd never hold up in a high abuse situation like a school or real world usage outside a coffee table.
2. Linux is better than Chrome OS, especially since it respects your freedom.
3. Wow, a shitty store that spies on you. www.theregister.co.uk/2016/09/12/turn_off_location_services_go_ahead_says_google_well_still_track_you/
Even a fucking netbook can let you program or do 3d printing. I mean fuck, even a C64 let you program it, now you get these watered down thin clients/dumb terminals being sold as devices to consumers.
RMS was right.
I've had multiple Acer products and they have never failed me. It's not hard to actually take good care of your products.
Linux is a far more powerful OS than Chrome OS, no one is arguing that. But for the simple purpose of browsing, the light and completely hassle free Chrome OS is perfect.
As for the privacy concerns, I'm one of those people that doesn't really care. All of my personal content that I care about is stored on a private NAS with encrypted shares and encrypted offsite backups. And I have no issue if Google tracks my location via my phone's GPS, in fact I have that history enabled on purpose because I find it interesting to see where I've been.
I have different devices for different purposes, a Windows PC for gaming, programming and 3D Printing because my 3D design and printing software requires a good GPU. I have a Linux VM that I use, but when I want to simply browse I use my light and quiet little Chromebook. Hell, between RDP and SSH I can do a lot of stuff from my Chromebook.
Regardless, it's all just opinions and everyone is entitled to theirs.
/home/gligar13 I wonder what stupid computer you own...
probably a lot better than what you're using, and even if it isn't better spec-for-spec it's probably better optimized

I have an Acer Chromebook Spin 15, it runs flash games, the keyboard is nice and its 15.6 inches, it has a backlit keyboard. 53 gigabytes of ram. Its touchscreen and a convertible and it has a charger on both sides and its compatible with any type of headphones, or earphones. It has a nice texture and design. It updates in like 2 seconds, unlike other computers/laptops which take a decade to update. It starts off like a nanosecond. It has virus protection built-in. And it has great quality. And 12 hours battery life it has google play store, two upward-facing speakers, waterproof keyboard, Wide view in the webcam, and it has a USB-C for data, display, and power. I can go on and on. You don't have to like Chromebooks, but you don't need to be going around because you can't afford to buy a decent Chromebook, this Acer Chromebook Spin 15 is all for the price of, 399.99 dollars. Great price for a Chromebook like this.
