    Asus 202c from 2016. They’re EoL, so they don’t get chrome OS updates. Which means the Play Store is also outdated.

    Overall, they’re pretty nifty. Battery life is still solid. Keyboard and case is pretty durable.

    I actually have a few of these chromebooks! (You can buy them from schools) I’ve reformatted one with Linux. Another is Chromebook + side loaded for coding. This one is just for browsing and taking notes.

    But just the thought that some old person buying a computer and going, “Lemme pick up these Google Things that are $100” only to end up with these errors makes me sad.

      Maybe an unpopular opinion around here, but getting 8 years out of a $200 laptop is a fucking steal.

      I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect more.

      Had this been a $1200 laptop, the expectation would be different.
