Well, happy birthday! I don't think I know anyone who uses a Chromebook. How are you liking it so far?
I love it. Great for cloud based and web based applications, as well a email, office stuff, productivity... I got myself a 32GB SD card as well, so I can store more offline files. Worth playing with before buying - depending on what you want from it, it may or may not be for you.
(!) It's time to celebrate your birthday, it happens every year! We'll eat a lot of broccoli and drink a lot of beer! (!) Happy birthday. Enjoy your Chromebook
Nice which one did you get? I have an Acer C710. Great little machine. It is one of favorite computers that I have ever had. I upgraded mine to 4GB of RAM as I had the RAM laying around in my parts drawer. The only thing I don't like about it is that the battery life is not that good. I've heard the Haswell based ones are much better. Chromebook are what netbooks should have been. I paid $199 for and for that price it is a really well built machine.
Happy Birthday. I haven't used one but I figure it's great for someone that lives off of Google. I use google for everything. (Email, Adsense, YouTube, Chrome, etc). So the only thing I think I wouldn't be able to do that I would want to is code, video edit, skype and use photoshop
Happy birthday! C: I have a chromebook and I really like it. The only downside to it I see is that you need to hook up a printer to the cloud in order to print anything. That becomes a hassle. Other than that, it's a wonderful little computer! I'm very satisfied.
Can they run office and surf the net basically? Or is it google apps only? I may trade in my iPad for one... No flash or adobe sucks.
