I'm bumping this. Something tells me that there are a few more Chromebook/box users here
chrome books is garbage first of all you should never trust google or any other cloud computing with your data they can and will delete all your shit at random and ou will have no recourse and no phone support to contest it, it's happened to several times, they love to delte shit , delete accounts lock people out of their accounts and all sorts of other nasty shit FUCK GOOGLE
now i havent used the actual chrome book hardware
but there is no way it can perform any better than a windwon 8.1 laptop and let me tell you my top of the line windows 8.1 ultraboook perform like complete fucking garbage especially when running ANY google apps on it, i have a 4th gen i7 with 8 gigs of ram and 500gb SSD and it performs like absolute fucking shit,i mean it is a totally fucking useless fuck bag of shit with diarrhea running all over the place
and now they are putting 8.1 full windows on all the windows tablets, and they did away with rt , i can only imagine the horror
let me tell how this absolute fucking piece of shit abortion of rancid elephant smegma performs
you cant even scroll ANYTHING , without it locking up freezing slowing down to the point of total unusability to the point where you want to smash it off the fucking wall
google drive forget about it ,it takes 9 fucking hours to scroll 2 inches down a page of photos it's completely fucking useless
tumblr same shit foregt about smooth scrolling
google plus same shit ,
google chrome runs like fucking ass crashes all the time, shockwave flash crashes all the time and crashed the browser
runs out of memory
even in windows explorer it takes literally fucking forever to populate thumbnail images when browsing a folder
if this ultrabook i paid 1800$ for is completely fucking worthless especially for google apps like plus, drive and chrome i can only imagine what useless piece of fucking garbage a chrome book is
i dont what the fucking problem is with these companies lately,i dont know if its intel's absolute piece of fucking shit haswell ultra moblie processors that overheat 2 seconds after you turn them on
or if its just windows 8.1 being the biggest fucking piece of shit memory hog in history
or if they are just loading this new shit up with so much NSA spyware and builtin spy viruses
but id say if you are running windows 8.1 anything less than 32 gigs of ram your gonna have a bad time because i have 8 and it's barely functional
i mean if google apps cant even run on a full fucking widows pc with top specs properly how can anyone expect them to work at all that fucking garbage chrome book hardware is beyond me
and no it's not my pc i tried other top end ultrabooks , and its the same problem, brand new out of the box and it all runs like shit and i cant figure out why
i have an old 1st gen i3 running 7 that outperforms all this new fucking garbage by a long shot i spent a fuck on of money worthless fucking garbage
the future of computing look pretty fucking bad for mobile and in general if this cloud shit ever takes off
honestly google chrome works smoother and faster on my iphone 5c than it does on my 1800$ win 8.1 ultrabook
it's fuckin pathetic
it even works better on my idevice than it does on high end android deivces
also mind you i alway use the ultraboook plugged into AC and set to full performance
the only thing that windows /8.1 improved is boot up and shut down time
