    I didn't think that I had a mental illness but are you an expert who knows everything on that as well?

    I believe it was the bit where you said no way would you spend over £200. Everything over that will be overpriced. They are merely poorly specced laptops

    Oh...so in other words you just made it up.
    Now you are admitting that what I actually wrote is something quite different.

    I'm not the only one who thinks so.

    With a Pixel/inch PPI of less than 120, this is substandard hardware.

    "Gimped platform" is a little harsh, but I think I see your point. Chromebook's primary "gimp" is the low-resolution spec. Although it was ridiculously expensive, gen-1 Chromebook Pixel was a breakout Chromebook for the screen resolution. Most Chromebooks don't have that resolution, and won't until Google changes the spec. Sadly, that reflects poorly on all Chromebooks.

    and here;

    Cons
    Expensive for a Chromebook
    Heavy for a 13-inch laptop
    Easy to muffle speakers

    So, take it easy. No one has said they are rubbish. Just overpriced for what they offer and that one can get similar functionality for free, by re-purposing an old laptop.

    That link isnt my chromebook. Youve found one review of one chromebook which suggests this one product might be overpriced. Im guessing you skipped right past the review of the chromebook that I actually have, on the same website where it got a rating of very good, highlighting the robust design which is exactly what I needed.

    Im glad you found some people on the internet who agree with you.Im going to guess that theyve never used or owned a chromebook either.

    I can see that one link is your machine and the other is not.

    Notwithstanding, I think we've made our respective points...a few times now

    Have a pleasant evening.
