@krzykat there is nothing stopping you from installing Chrome OS. I do it to devices that are beefy. Nothing like having Quad core cpu, 16 GB of RAM and a decent ssd. It really takes the pain off of my base device since I basically remote into stuff all day. They are planning on including Steam soon so that will improve the gaming but you can game already on them from Android store.

Like if I'm using it for school or social media, I'd feel pretty good.
Thanks! That makes me happy to place an order for the boy!
Mine will not be a Lenovo......

Has anyone ever turned a Win Laptop into Chrome? https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/06/13/how-to-turn-your-old-slow-laptop-into-a-sleek-chromebook/
I do that to Linux all the time, but not to Chromebooks.
I wonder how that would work for a crappy A9 based system... they just don't run Windows well at all. the crap thing is Windows is required for me to print labels.. something we require.

Probably run fine. It runs okay on some crazy low power hardware.

I suppose i could try it.. for use where people aren't printing labels.

I have the 2nd and 3rd one along with some other models. They work as advertised. I really like how Samsung and HPE have made some excellent chromebooks without breaking the bank.
