Woo time for a Chromebook rant against Samsung!

So they just 'revised' the Chromebook plus (Currently using v1 to write this) and I was intrigued because they ditched the Samsung made ARM chips for an intel CPU.... Buuuuuuuuuut... It's a fucking celeron... Of all fucking things to put in a half thousand dollar laptop, at least an m3 would be useful. Then I find out they are ditching the full metal body, it's heavier, thicker, same 3GB of RAM, ditching the 3:2 aspect ratio (Fucking why?!) and the 'upgraded' keyboard doesn't even have back lighting...

Ugh, makes me want a pixel book more, double the price and a million times the performance and quality -.-

    I'm in that process of working out whether I can do everything from a web browser. Looking for something ultra portable and simple. What do you use your chrome book for?

    @davehuk I use it for general web tasks but I'll be using it for development once the Linux compatibility is stable

    I am using the r11 and can confirm that the Celeron is quite powerful especially on a Chromebook. I do computer vision with mine.

    @ewpratten I understand it is powerful but it's more the point this is a $500+ USD chromebook, you would expect a little more concidering the huge downgrades in other aspects like the screen, keyboard and build quality

    @lxmcf the only upside is that it runs (or used to run) a special version of chromeos. It has extra features that add slightly more integration between android and cros.
