A new report from U.S. PIRG finds that Chromebooks’ cheap design and short lifespan means people are treating them as disposable, and is creating piles of ewaste.

    This is really sad. I had a Chromebook for my entire highschool career and into college, and only got rid of it after I accidentally placed it on a hot stove 💀

      What OS did it have? What other specs? You liked using it I guess, what made it a good laptop? Did it have good build quality?

        Huh? ChromeOS, a couple gigs of RAM, basically no storage, and some crappy Celeron. I used it basically the same as I use my Pinebook Pro now. I’m actually pro netbook, if we’re going to live in a SaaS hellscape we can at least get cheap laptops as a result.

        These days I also have a T480.
