   @nyarlathotep @kroner @coolboymew The problem with Chromebooks is the laptop makers themselves on one end, and Google being shit about support policies on the other. In particular a report came out from an education group that slammed them as being cheap, having non-interchangable parts among similar models, and parts for these being very expensive. The other issue is while Windows can get supported for say 10 years (which is funny when you consider Windows 10 and how Microsoft is orphaning literal mountains of hardware with 11) and you can slap say Linux or newer Windows on it, Chromebooks only get 4-5 real world years of support at most, and when it dies you don't even get web browser updates.
