Manufacturers making the same mistake as netbooks again.

This should be targeted at the low cost segment. Once you reach laptop level prices, what's the point?
*
i have to agree with this.
they should focus on low to mid spec, not high end.

given the price point, you can get a "proper" laptop, why bother with chromeos.
chromebook main point last time is cheap laptop with reasonable operating system.

Nope.

I already have laptops from Intel 1st to 8th gen of various models. All were upgraded to a max of 16GB RAM and 500GB SSD.

In total, I have 15 laptops. All are restored to perfect health and used daily or weekly. Each ran W10 or W7. Data is all synced to the cloud so each laptop will have the same data. Media kept on 2TB external NVME.

All 15 laptops are still cheaper than a MacBook M2 Air 15 inch with 16GB RAM and 512GB  storage.

As a result, I never need to carry a charger or power bank whenever out for work as each laptop can use up to 5 hours. Older models max also 2-3 hours.
*
install chromeOS on it (4th gen above). icon_idea.gif

Every day, I carry 2 laptops when going out. That's 10 laptops per work week of mostly 12 to 14 inches. The remaining 5 will be mostly Precision and Latitude models over 15 inches and are mostly for outstation use due to workstation capabilities.
*
why need 2 laptops? dual screen purpose? hmm.gif

I have an old Precision M2800 lying around. Currently converting into a DS as a side project. I bought a dead Latitude E6540 for 100 bucks for this. The FHD screen is working and only need to find a way to mount to the M2800 cleanly.
*
sorry, what is DS?

Window 365 ni kena bayar macam Microsoft 365

yup. subscription base.
and i was wrong, during 2021, still for business.

not really. laptop did not suck watt like full desktop with RTX3090.
when not using, i put it on sleep.
while the "portable" laptop is always on battery, quick charge using USB-C 65W.

If those have 8GB RAM and SSD, still can use and will fly with some W10 tweaks.

My rarest is the ThinkPad X61 Tablet. Since it only has 4GB RAM, I tried to tweak and debloat W10 as much as possible so it will run smoothly and fast.
*
for me, anything below 8GB ram, should only boot linux. icon_idea.gif
w10 with 4GB, really challenging.

yup, as much as i want to try or own multiple laptops or devices (tablets), but realistically can only use max 2 of them, the rests will be wasted and kept in drawers untouched sad.gif

recently i tried MS surface laptop and was amazed by its build quality,  very premium, feels like a windows version of macbook, so i have been using it now and older laptops going to be decommissioned again laugh.gif
*
used to own SP7, sold it due to battery no longer last long. good ebook reader tho.

QUOTE(acbc @ Aug 7 2023, 02:06 PM)
Dual Screen

The top case for M2800 and E6540 are the same so with some hinges and a controller board, I can make a dual-screen add-on for it. Perfect when traveling.
*
ah.. i see. you DIY for dual screen. thumbsup.gif

QUOTE(K.I.T.T @ Aug 7 2023, 02:06 PM)
android tablet hard to do multitasking. chrome OS good for multitasking.

imagine tablet with 11 inch , 8GB Ram , 256gb SSD , snapdragon 7c with Chrome OS.
*
thats why i go for samsung s9+. dex interface more or less like chromeOS.

microsoft products mostly pakai buang punya, damn cibai, same like apple devices, want to change battery also need like 50 steps and damn hard to disassemble the surface pro, my SP6 also facing same issue as u, battery degraded, and the type cover also degraded doh.gif

but have to admit their products really give premium feeling
*
premium feeling but only last 2 hours or so, not good enough la.
the price to change battery is like a brand new tablet, so nope, let it go n move on to other device.

If you read it between an app or even network, yes.

But Mac os cannot read directly from ntfs formatted drive like an external drive.

Exfat is the best method for Mac os/ win compatibility.

You can try pick a random usb hard drive from anyone not using Mac, and chances are you can't see what's in it.
*
macOS can read NTFS but cannot natively write on it.
need 3rd party app to enable NTFS write.

need to use exFAT for compatibility with other(almost all) device.

i want 500-600gram tablet with OS interfaces like Windows.
