Anyone here using a Chromebook?

  • Just wanted to check if anyone back home uses a Chromebook. Did a search at tila wala yata. Do they even sell it back there?
  • actually, tagal ko na rin naghahanap ng ARM powered na chromebook. Unfortunately, wala nga yatang available sa Pinas.
    Kung meron man, baka may offer po kayo :)
  • Sorry po, wala din akong info sa nagbebenta sa Pinas. Sa ibang bansa ako based right now and I just wanted to check kung merong info about chromebooks dito sa tipidpc. Malaki respeto ko sa mga Pinoy tech gurus :) Sadly, mukhang di pa yata binebenta back home. I\'m loving mine. Ganito sana dapat performance ng netbooks noong araw, but sadly hindi. Gapang sila noon, not today\'s chromebook.
  • i\'m currently here in the US. there\'s an acer 11.6\" chromebook that\'s only $199. it\'s fine for your typical web and facebook user

    but you can\'t run your usual x86 apps so i\'m sticking with my 13.3\" thinkpad for now
  • Samsung ang binili ko sa Best Buy ($274 incl. tax). True it won\'t run any x86 or other apps pero it definitely satisfies all my web-based needs. Hindi talaga puwedeng only computer ito but it\'s a great tablet alternative. Nakakasuya na din kasi yung tap ng tap ng screen. Surprised it hasn\'t show up yet back home.
  • I was considering a chromebook before, since I got tired of typing onscreen on a tablet, ended up with a windows 8 hybrid instead. best of both worlds = )



    since the chromebook is primarily internet dependent (I use google apps more than office nowadays), it would have been perfect, but the internet availability and cost here in the PH is atrocious.
  • meron akong nkita dito sa tpc nagbebenta ng acer chromebook 11k lang. matagal ko na din gusto bumili nito .
  • yung cousin ko may Acer chromebook C710.

    ask ko lang pwede ba siya gawin Windows OS? may nakagawa na ba nito?

    Salamat
  • @emokit hindi pwede...
  • gusto ko ng hp chromebook 11..iniisip ko pa kung worth it kung oorder ako sa amazon.
  • @emokit hindi pwede...

    salamat sa sagot sir..

    mali kasi yung nabili niya eh 2nd hand at hindi niya magamit ng maayos yung chromebook niya.

    sabi ko benta nalang niya kung hindi niya magamit..
  • @emokit youre welcome..sayang naman oo ibenta na lang nya
  • pwede bang mag play ng mga hd movies dito.
  • I have an Acer Chromebook C710 which is wala pa tlga sa Pinas to. May nabasa akong blog about how to install Crouton (Ubuntu) and you can install Wine after na pwede maginstall ng windows application. Here is the link http://www.howtogeek.com/162120/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-your-chromebook-with-crouton. I\'m planning to sell this one sana slightly used for 8k hehe. So far nagrarun nman ang Ubuntu (naging dual OS) ng maayos ndi ko lang mainstall yung wine.
  • I\'m selling mine, its a Acer C710 Chromebook and it came from Canada pinadala ng brother ko. If ever you know someone whose buying this kind of laptop please let me know. Thanks.
  • I have a Samsung Chromebook, I\'m selling it for P10000.00, Text if interested +639166899193. Thanks TPC Forum. :)
  • I can watch HD Movies on my Samsung Chromebook. And it boots for like less than 5secs
  • Chromebooks will be officially coming soon to the PH.
  • Bawal magbenta sa forums... malalagot kayo sa mods...
  • Its very hard to find and buy chromebook here unfortunately and choices seem very limited. :(
  • and have just noticed have revived a pretty old thread, just want to vent my frustrations with it. Wish there were more chromebooks here.
  • Chromebooks are very interesting now. I'm planning to buy soon.

    You could run android apps with the newer ones;
    some are fully foldable (Asus C302, Samsung Chromebook Pro) so it's a better substitute than higher-end android tablets.
  • I'm using Samsung Chromebook 3, ok for web based applications like google sheets, linkedin, etc. may games na available sa chromestore, pwede din android apks (extract using Twerk app), dapat makuha mo version at package name ng app. may ibang apk games na gumagana tapos working din viber at instagram apk
