Default Re: Acer C7 Chromebook
OK - I actually looked at chrome book thingies on Amazon. probably should have doe that, but thought they were a Unix based netbook.

It is not even Unix - it seems to be a special Google specific proprietary operating system that is basically just a browser, and the only local storage is a flash drive with 16GB.

The only programmes it runs is Googles own browser and via that, their own Office apps and cloud storage. A bit pricey at 250 quid, unless that very limited niche fits your needs exactly, IMHO and you did not already have a tablet or laptop.

There is of course no chance that our game will run on the thing.
