Garbagebook

My friend fallen for Chromebook advertising and bought one. She was so frustrated that nothing worked like in a "normal" computer.

The biggest problem was documents editing. The forms she was getting wouldn't show up correctly in Google docs and everything would be messed up. She tried to use online Word, but she was always confused where files are stored. Are they on local storage, on thumb drive, on Google Drive, on One Drive? And then documents still wouldn't look right.

Then the keyboard. She was asking me how she can disable the search button as it was driving her mad plus everything was slow.

She tried to sell it but nobody wanted it so eventually she donated it to a charity shop.
