Chromebooks have their place. Is it just a mobile media display device? Perfect. Do you work strictly off Google Docs? Perfect. Is it just a web browser? Perfect. "Computer" for a kid? Perfect.

For anything more than than... get a real computer.
All I do with it is web browse. That's why I bought a $60 laptop.

Yeah its a big joke. If you're getting a Laptop, get one with an actual operating system and not the pretend Chrome OS they put on those things.
What brand would you recommend ?

Geeezzzz I know you haven’t been doing I.T. For awhile but you should still
Have enough smarts to not buy a Chromebook. They are for shit.

I just bought a retirement laptop and decided to go back to the Apple world. I bought a 15" Mac Air.

Holy cow. This thing is magic. It's light as a feather, and it's silent as an owl at night. It has no fan, so it's completely silent. And then atop that, the battery lasts forever. I'm no longer tethered to an outlet. I just charge it at night and don't worry about the battery during the day. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I'm still using the same Acer Chromebook I bought 5 years ago for $300, and it's still going strong. All I ever use it for is internet browsing and watching YouTube videos.

I used to be all about Macbooks, but got tired of spending $1000 every 2 or 3 years.

Congrats on your retirement RM!

Macs are great. I still use my 2010 IMac daily and love my PowerBook Pro. Everything talks to everything, including our phones.
