[QUOTE="Wookiee, post: 77644774, member: 335029"] As someone who has managed and fixed them before: From a perspective of "I need something cheap/light to just get on the internet with"/"I need a cheap laptop for my kid to do school work" - great! From a perspective of "I need something longterm for a variety of things" - you're better off investing in anything else. They're great in a school environment in terms of being essentially disposable-camera level laptops. But you certainly go through a few of them. Google management console was pretty awful at the time, and many Chromebooks had weird manufacturer-related quirks that made them painful to deal with (side note: somehow [I][B]Acer[/B] [/I]of all brands made the most reliable one). So as I said: if you need something cheap to throw around and not get a lot of life out of, they're great. I'd never ever get one for myself for any real reason, and you couldn't pay me enough to have to manage them from an IT-department ever again. [/QUOTE]
