This is the only Chromebook that I'm considering, but I will splurge the extra hundred from this review unit and get the one with 16gb of ram.
As for the final part of the review, where he basically says just go get a Windows laptop..... um.... no. Not ever again. My work laptop is a Windows device that's about two years old. Some IT "expert" convinced me to be an ***** and spend nearly a grand on it. My home laptop is a little Hisense Chromebook from three years ago. It runs faster than my work laptop. If a sub-hundred dollar laptop works for me that we'll after three years, you can bet the farm that when I replace it, it will be the best version of that operating system being made.
And it ain't the Pixelbook, kids. If I can't put an SD card in it for media purposes, it's not worth having. Phone or laptop.
