Earthbound: i use a chromebook. its a great device, long battary life 7-8 hrs, 7 secs startup time, doesn't heat, but the chrome os is too limited for me, without internet you'd get tired of it. i installed gallium Os, which is based on Linux and ubuntu 16, the experience has been wonderful. i have tried series of Os on my chromebook, kali linux, xubuntu, kde, unity Gallium os is specially designed for a Chromebook. if you're bored with yr Chromebook you can try it. |

BuzzRay:What are the major things you use your computer for? |
Re: What Are The Advantages Of Using A Chromebook Over A Regular Laptop? by BuzzRay(m): 1:07pm On Jan 26, 2019 |
Earthbound: I'm into programming, thats the main reason i installed Ubuntu. i do mostly coding on it, lil bit of typing and also movies. when i was using the chrome Os, i did only two things, Movies and browsing. popular apps ain't available for chrome Os, no Vlc, no Microsoft, wps, Photoshop. although you can get most of them if yrs supports andriod. mine doesn't, so i installed linux. i still boot to chrome Os once in a while. |

BuzzRay:So if I install Linux, I will have a better experience, yes? |
Re: What Are The Advantages Of Using A Chromebook Over A Regular Laptop? by BuzzRay(m): 3:14pm On Jan 26, 2019 |
Earthbound: it depends on what you're using yr system for. if you're a basic user, chrome Os with android functionality should be okay. it should serve yr needs. mine doesn't support andriod apps and i was missing some vital apps, so Linux was the hard way out. i do not recommend installing linux if yrs support android. what do you mostly do on yr system? |

Re: What Are The Advantages Of Using A Chromebook Over A Regular Laptop? by BuzzRay(m): 3:24pm On Jan 26, 2019 |

pansophist: aleeyus:are you still using a Chromebook? I need your help please, just got one as a gift and found out it has a very different operating system that differs from the conventional laptops. Does it have any internal storage where I can save/store few files like movies and musics on it or is it solely Cloud storage? If yes then do I need an internet connection before I can view those files stored on it's local server? Can I use it Corel Draw on it, Graphics design, engage on my freelance services at fiverr and upwork and writing articles? Your response would be so appreciated 1 Like |

Emaxwell:Thanks so much for this. I was about selling mine but realised it's a gift and the person might not feel Happy cos it's like I haven't appreciated it. Do you know if I can transfer those cloud storage files like few musics and videos and transfer them to the local internal memory? can I also play PS games with it? |

AkwaIbomMan: It will have but it may be low compared to its competitors and not to mention that it’s android operating system so unless Corel draw is an app it might not work it’s basically a laptop phone |
