The stenographer for our local zoning & planning board still uses a XP netbook. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw it

Brie. I never buy it on my own free will, but I am an absolute goblin when I see it at a party

It could be better, but it’s not as horrible as the reviews told me it was. Moved from a Z Fold 4 to an 8 pro - I’ve never ultrasonic, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

The real star of the show is the Level 3 Face Unlock. It works perfectly as long as you’re in a lit room

They use Fi

Yeah the original commenter is absolutely a Fi subscriber

I’m fully aligned here. I’m at the point where I lurk every day, but I remain wishing the niche communities were around. Obviously, I should be contributing myself, but…

You’re preaching to the choir, lol. I’m just saying the hardware on non-entry Chromebooks is outstanding these days. Everything else is a matter of time & licensing

Like any computer, Chromebook hardware sucks if you’re buying entry level sub-$500 devices. The reputation for shitty hardware is generally from people who have only used entry level devices

Our standard fleet for our teachers is Acer Spin 513-2WH. They’re exceptionally nice

DeX is awesome when I need it. I could live without it, but it’s really nice to use in a pinch
