My husband is not able to get around much so spends a lot of time on his laptop. Every few years he has to replace it when they start going bad.

Last month he had to start looking for a new one.

I convinced him to look at getting a Chromebook the same size as his laptop.

He never uses most of the programs and features on his laptops so it really is just a waste to get them.

He watches YouTube how to videos, Amazon, Ebay and Craigslist.

That’s about it, no gaming, movies or special effects. After a month he is perfectly happy and it was so much cheaper.

We do have a computer with all the extras if needed but this was perfect for him.

So, what does everyone do when their chromebook hits its expiration date?

I think this means the apps can no longer update.??

Yes! Also refurbished might work for folks. I’ve purchased refurbished a few times $175-$250 and they were good enough for 2-3 years.

What did it cost you? My last Lenovo lasted 10 years. And I only had to replace it because wifi systems have changed so much.

Had a Chromebook for years; did everything I needed; replaced with an open box Lenovo laptop from BestBuy at a Chromebook price; when the Lenovo dies, I’ll go back to a Chromebook.

I was able to keep all my business and farm worksheets on the Chromebook and watch videos/movies.

Will check to see if that has changed on later models.

I hate mine. I have to work on it when traveling. Business is paperless. The keys are off for those that learned to type on real typewriters.
