hey everyone,
so I'm thinking about getting the $250 samsung chromebook. i got one for my dad a few months ago and for the most part it's absolutely perfect. the only major issue he's had, however, is some web based video doesn't work. one example is he likes wrestling (i know, ridiculous), and the the WWE's website video never loads (pretty sure it's flash based and i tried clearing his flash cache and everything, nothing seems to work). I think he also had problems playing trailers on Fandango. I had gone online to try to find some help with this and found other people complaining but no solutions.
so i was wondering, I haven't messed with his chromebook in a while, so I thought I'd come on and ask... is web video still an issue that some people are seeing? are there any workarounds? has any recent chrome OS update fixed these issues? i'd love to get one for a personal machine to do stuff while i'm at work, and it just isn't the same doing it on my phone. reading news, watching videos, logging into forums and responding to messages, etc... all kind of not as easy / smooth an experience on a phone, and the chromebook seems like the perfect option.
thanks for your input.
