New Lenovo Chromebook
My 8 year old Samsung Chromebook decided to start shutting down at will. I paid $100 for it...so I figured it was time to replace it.
My new 11.6" (same size as the old one) Lenovo arrived yesterday. Cost was $109 Charged it up and the setup screen asked for my wifi password and then my email....Boom! Just like that all my info, favorites, emails, and cookies are on the new one. Took a total of 5 minutes to do it. ![]() I remember when setting up a new computer always took hours. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087YW8FQB?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details .

4GB of RAM is bad.
That CPU is slow. 64GB isn't much if you store stuff. Oh, wait, this is not a Windows machine. Just a browser machine basically? Guess it meets your needs, so congrats.

Only used for pics and internet browsing....don't need any more.
The one that it's replacing did all that I wanted...same specs.

I think if I needed a new laptop it would be a Chromebook. The reality is I have a great Dell Latitude that I run on linux and a backup that is nearly identical. it is possible these 2 will last me to the end.

^^^ The best thing about a Chromebook is the price.
For $100...8 years of use is great. And when it gives out...just plug in another one for the same. (I also have a 12 year old Dell Inspiron...it has a dvd/cd drive which comes in handy sometimes.)
