    Chromebooks are amazing for a certain type of low technical skill person. Older parents and grandparents in particular are exactly the kind of people that Chromebooks are for. There’s zero technical support burden and if anything goes wrong a power wash solves it.

        Oh I totally recommend Chromebooks, they almost entirely eliminate the tech support burden from having a parent/grandparent who doesn’t get computers. It was the dude above me who crapped on them.

            So buy Chromebooks from other oems?

            Chromium is about 99.5% open source, there’s no real problem with the OS itself. If you’re afraid of Google tracking just use the machine with the guest account.
