Well, I've made the switch back to Windows. My 3.5 year old Acer C720 is developing problems that aren't worth the expense to fix (new battery and power adapter). Battery life is a bit over 3 hours and the constant recharging has created a break in the wiring at the tip. Couple this with the lack of support for many book formats and it's clear that there's no reason to stick with Chrome. So, I'm retiring my C720.
When Black Friday rolls around, I'll get a new Windows laptop in the $100-$150 range. Adios, Chrome |

It's tough out here in the wilderness, blazing new trails, but I will keep trekking until something happens to my augmented 710. Indians, blizzards, gigantic lizards, machine failures or the like. |

I have a workaround for getting downloads from google youtube, but nothing as yet to be able to print directly to a regular (non-wifi) printer. The hardware which came with a 320GB HDD and that I augmented with a second 2GB of RAM is great. The battery life is only a few hours. I don't know if I have ever gotten 4 from it. The machine is very convenient and never having to do upgrades is great!!! |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgdBet2yNFU Also a charging cord would not be very expensive I imagine. Really like my Acer C720 and it is humming along nicely. You can easily enable legacy boot and boot into Linux on that model. GalliumOS could also be installed on it. |
