Missed Opportunity
So evidently our flight had free wireless?! On the way home I'll have the chromebook out of my bag and ready to give it a try. Not a lot more news, this thing is exceptionally convenient for browsing and email. Light and easy to pull out, quick startup and into the action, crazy battery life (I'm in hour 3 since charging, and we're at 70%. It's got an estimate, but it isn't updating right currently. I'll try to do another post about it tomorrow). It's definitely a nice go-to machine, but there's no way it'll fully replace my other laptop -- besides the gaming, there's just not enough power. I've seen a little bit of slowdown when trying to do a bunch of things at once (8+ tabs all opening and loading at the same time). But tab-handling is a complaint I have about Chrome in general -- the same thing happens to me on a real computer, although it might be at 20+ tabs instead. I wonder what sort of processor is in here, I should look at the specs sometime.
