The Macbook here (which I hate, not only because of the common screen speckle problem) is clearly one button. And your mind is one-button. Everybody knows what we mean when we say one-button mind.
I know that of course. If you want to get down to basics, think "Pentium 3" or even "Pentium Pro". Obviously a lot of evolution happened, but it's a direct line and the design philosophy didn't change.
You are an idiot. There is a distinct difference between Atom arch and Core arch. Executive summary: Atom has crappy instructions per clock and power/performance.
Good suggestion, with caveats. 1) Only two usb ports, is that enough when one is gone for storage? 2) You need a usb-c stick, does anybody make that in low profile?
Anyway, it has a micro sd slot, so that's ok. Now the issue is, the price is a bit high for only 4GB ram and HD resolution. Not stupidly overpriced, but no great deal either.
Thinking about it, Linux would be the best for everyone's desktops, Chromebooks would be best for everybody's laptops
Chromebooks running Linux, except for the pathetically limited amount of flash, designed to frogmarch you into Google's cloud whether you want that or not.
Remember how Windows used to nag you if it found itself running under DRDos? It's like that. Microsoft ended up being sued and paying out for such practices, ISTR DRDos was part of that.
Wow, some Microsoft belly crawler doesn't want the world to remember that.
You do not understand the legitimacy thing because you do not understand the freedom thing or the rule of law thing. You want to give the despot money, and ignore the teachings of history that appeasement never works? Good thing nobody cares what you think.
Donald Trump is letting a Chinese company sell hacked phones used as surveillance department for the Chinese government.
The only explanation is that this is part of Trump's surrender to North Korea and China.
Is this a troll as some mod thinks (possibly Russian) or is it the simple truth? Everybody remembers that Drump got paid off promptly in the form of $500 million real estate "investment" right?
There's already a developer mode that lets you sideload extensions (this is not going away or nobody could make extensions), but it will nag you to disable them every time you restart the browser.

That, right there, kills your ability to do perfect backwards compatibility.
That's where you fall off the rails and descend into a morass of wankery, right there. Perfect is the enemy of good enough. Users can deal with erring out because of not upgrading their network stack yet, after all that's exactly where IPv6 started. Effective workarounds include tunnelling and NAT, as you know (but probably will pretend not to know). The asshattery that you are promulgating is that, now breaking everything is justified, including not even trying to embed IPv4 in the IPv6 space, and a huge pile of other saliva drivellingly bad misbegotten design features. Sad to see that Steve Deering, former sensible designer of multicast, went on to become a central figure in the IPv6 debacle, how did that happen? He should have known better.
Good luck to Intel with their GPUs. Intel won't be getting me back from the forseeable future. Threadripper 2 for me this fall. Btw, it is said that losing Raja Koduri will actually speed up AMDs GPU evolution, because he changed direction too often.

You brought this on yourselves. Who would have thought that a Google-owned browser monoculture would increasingly tend towards evil? Solution: use Chromium. Better solution: use Firefox.

The Acer has Atom, which is pathetic. This Google thing has core arch, which is better.
Some knuckledragger with mod points does not understand what a chip arch is. Mod points should be kept out of the hands of knuckledraggers.
Storing data on "The Cloud" is going to be scary for people used to working with hard drives...
Scary and stupid, according to me, unless you have no other option and your data is throwaway. Never mind the rampant privacy risk.
Mod up informative AC! (and log in you lazy ass)
how much is the chromebook option that allows you to run macos software?
My experience with Macos software is, I would pay not to use it. It's made for single button minds.
But the Atom sucks more than the core arch Celeron. Intel keeps tricking me into buying Atoms and I keep regretting it. No more of that.
blah blah tremendous difficulty understanding the concept of "inexpensive means compromises"
That might make sense if it was inexpensive.

N3160 is an atom. Don't get sucked in by the marketspeak.

What exactly did Trump surrender to North Korea?
Legitimacy for a bloodthirsty despot. Next question?

Fixed Akonadi yet? I would say, get rid of the MySQL dependency for a start, or can you not spell ACID? If that is too hard, then just kill Akonadi.

Be Evil. Why not? Don't be evil is not in the code of ethics any more! (Was it ever?) Now Google is just dropping all pretense.
A Googler with modpoints slunk onto Slashdot?

Develop your app using Chromium, then port it to Chrome.
