It ain't good enough for this great-grandma! Just sayin'.We already have that answer! My sister-in-law bought an HP Chromebook for her mother. It ran for a couple of years before giving trouble, after which we bought her a new one, an Acer.
Both of them were low-RAM and small disk (flash disk?) ... and cheap. I said earlier that this is suitable for grandma (or, in this case, 82-year-old mother-in-law). She does surf-n-email and some online card games. That's all. For this a Chromebook is adequate.
For anything more it's not. There's no real software available ... only the google-supplied apps. Good enough for grandma, but not for the rest of us.
Storage is tiny. Performance is slow. If you compute you need a real computer, not a wannabe Chromebook laptop.
