Segue to e - volution
My baby laptop has gone through some < evo > already.
1. The update to Windows Home
2. The increase in memory
3. The switch to Solid State Drive
4. The new battery which is a beast of a power source
5. The update to Windows 10
Recently , in Ohio , I got to compare baby laptop w/ someone's iPad ( ? ) an older model
Baby didn't compare well. Baby is slow
Thus , I researched on line for a replacement
Recall baby laptop cost $ 180 ( Cdn ) minus $30 for SDM points and since has required additional money to the tune of $ 200. All in $ 400 probably
A replacement would be $ 500 for a 13 in screen and power like you wouldn't believe ( w/ SSD )
Downside is limited plug in ports , slightly heavier b/c baby is a 10.5 " jobbie. And of course , this is a pad type device not a computer per se.
However , while searching reviews for a Chromebook which runs the Chrome OS platform ( not Windows ) , I came across a video ( there are over 10 available )
to convert your laptop into an Chrome OS machine
Free ! I like free
As of now , I'm backing up the baby laptop and getting ready to convert ' her ' to Chrome OS.
Beware , you'll hear the screaming from Scarborough if things
will go wrong.
It s a brave new world ( sorry Aldous ) we live in
So , here goes nothing
We shall see said the Zen Master
Oh , day is slightly overcast w/ rain possible and will get warm , 80 F + humidity
But I'll be inside - screaming and foaming at the mouth
You have been warned
