π ..... breakfast is done and multivitamin taken
' boro is slightly overcast and setting itself up for rain over days to come
The story : the CB 311 Chromebook that is usually the typing machine here at the window desk reaches its end of update life in 2 months. BUT the Chromebook Duet usually downstairs is going to be good til 2030 Jun. There is 2 yrs difference in the purchase dates but Duet qualified for the automatic 10 yr program.
Truth. The CB 311 can go on as an ' updated ' Chromebook minus ' Android '
however, this includes most Apps e.g. YouTube and gmail plus .........everything that we do here
Thus. I am trying the Duet as a daily typer in the window seat - outlook on the world outside.
Adjustments, the Duet is a Chromebook / tablet. Powerful in the sense of quickly utilising peripherals which is basically anything and everything b / c there is only 1 Type C port. A dock for Type C and Type B inputs and the HDMI for TV is needed.
The screen is 11 in and only 11. I use the TV even w / the CB 311
Then the keyboard is detachable [ hence the ' tablet ' mode ]
but the keys are closer and have reduced carry or shorter travel. That change is harder to adjust to
Of course, just go get another Chromebook in 2 months
We shall see said the Zen Master ....... again
So. How did exercise go, today. The Wahoo App that records and presents kCal / time / avg BPM / max BPM also asks ' how was your workout '
I answered once ' enjoyable '
But really the App wants daily input to track your workout history
the challenge of Chromebooks. Officially, we both have used the Duet.Reviews are mostly negative. Screen is a tiny bit smaller and keyboard is a pain. Recall that many buyers specifically wanted the tablet function [ sans keyboard ]. I've tried tablet mode and while quirky really not my fav.
Early days and we may adjust if only out desperation
BTW, when using the Duet downstairs I have BluTooth standard ish keyboard. Up here, not sure how it would fit.
