Seriously, ya'll are putting together all this stuff, $500+ worth of parts which is great for us but you aren't thinking about your target audience. Browsing the web and writing books. That was the use case. You're going to build her a desktop computer with a dedicated GPU and all that for a use case of browsing the web and writing books?

IMO she might be happier if she gets the option to not be stuck writing at a desk all day and can instead relax on a couch writing.

Go spend the money on a quality Chromebook, and if you want to give her the desktop experience too, pick up a nice monitor to go with it while you're at it. No dealing with viruses either.

You won't get a quality Windows laptop for that price. Chromebook would be the way to go IMO. Here's probably the best one sub $300 IMO.

If you're looking for top-of-the-line, this one is usually regarded as the best:
https://www.amazon.com/Chromebook-Intel-12-5-Inch-Touchscreen-storage/dp/B01N5G5PG2

Chromebook's can't do a lot like storing files locally and running Windows programs, but you have access to android web store, all of Google products plus extra storage for Drive. I know Office is still compatible with it so menial work and tasks could be done as well.

u/kverberk · 4 pointsr/chromeos

I would suggest the [Acer R11 for $269USD](https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Chromebook-Convertible-11-6-Inch-CB5-132T-C1LK/dp/B01J42JPJG/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483770071&sr=1-2&keywords=acer+r+13 "Amazon Link to purchase") if you're really on a tight budget, but you're going down to 11.6", which may in the end be better for portability if you're still lugging back and forth from classes. It also has Android Apps in the stable channel which is a bonus. Just make sure if you get the R11 that you get the 4Gb Ram model or else Android won't run well on it anyway. My previous chromebook was the Acer C720P, which has the same screen size, and it was nice and light to carry around from work, home, and travelling, and was the laptop that I've used for most of my Master's degree and works well for typing long papers. The [Asus Chromebook Flip (1) at $259USD](https://www.amazon.com/C100PA-DB02-10-1-inch-Chromebook-1-8GHz-Operation/dp/B00ZS4HK0Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483771163&sr=1-1&keywords=asus+Chromebook+flip "Amazon Link to purchase") is nice, but in my opinion the keyboard is too cramped to be used as a computer to write anything longer than a facebook or reddit post, which I imagine why your original post requested info on 13"-ers, and 16Gb storage is too small for the future anyway.

I currently have the [Acer R13 at $399USD](https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Chromebook-Convertible-13-3-inch-CB5-312T-K5X4/dp/B01LXYG77O/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483771046&sr=1-1&keywords=acer+r+13 "Amazon Link to purchase") and it's great. I honestly can say it's overall the best computer I've ever owned and in my opinion the best value for a computer that money can buy. That being said, $400 is a lot of money for a student, but if you can afford it, it's definitley the one I'd recommend for you. The new ones that are coming out of CES, specifically the [Asus Chromebook C302 at $499USD](https://www.amazon.com/Chromebook-C302CA-DHM4-Traditional-Laptop-Silver/dp/B01N5G5PG2/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483771756&sr=1-1&keywords=Asus+Chromebook+C302 "Amazon Link to Pre-Order") and the [Samsung Chromebook Plus at $449USD](https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-XE513C24-K01US-Chromebook-Touch-Screen/dp/B01LZ6XKS6/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483771819&sr=1-2&keywords=samsung+chromebook+plus "Amazon Link to Pre-Order"), that will have touch and support android apps may run better but all cost more, will be harder or impossible to get now, and are arguably not a better value for the dollar. Back lit keyboards are nice but aren't a necessity for you I imagine!

Good luck on making a decision and let us know what you ultimately decide!

u/westdabestdb · 3 pointsr/chromeos

Hello, I am not a Chromebook user but I am very interested in them.

You can definitely go for any Chromebook around $500, they typically have 4gb ram, 32/64gb storage, and intel core m3 processor. If you are willing to pay few hundreds more, there's a discount on Amazon for Google Pixelbook, with i5 processor, 8gb ram and 128gb storage for $846. There's also one good thing about this device, you can install linux applications on it.

If you are not interested in paying that money for Google Pixelbook, you can go with ASUS C302CA-DHM4.

Enjoy it!!

Chromebook Pro:

  • $499
  • beautiful, bright display
  • 3:2 screen ratio
  • stylus

    ASUS C302:

  • $429
  • 16:9 screen ratio
  • amazing keyboard
  • keyboard is also backlit

    I own the Chromebook Pro and my son has the C302. They're both great, but I prefer the 3:2 amazing screen and the stylus of the Chromebook Pro to the amazing keyboard on the C302.

    EDIT: emphasis on C302's keyboard, backlight, and Pro's display.

This is definitely right between what you want/need. Check out the Asus C302cA Flip. It's a chromebook, with a fast processor and also, you're able to throw Linux on it as well if you want. You can also find them cheaper on eBay. Here's a link to Amazon, so you can see what i'm talking about. https://www.amazon.com/C302CA-DHM4-Chromebook-12-5-inch-Touchscreen-Convertible/dp/B01N5G5PG2

u/ryceone · 2 pointsr/ITdept

Then totally, I would recommend the acer c302 or the samsung chromebook pro or plus

These are a bit more expensive than the run of the mill chromebook because they are a bit higher end and support the android play store. Also, in my experience the best chromebooks I've ever used. (I started using them at the CR48)

Hope this helps!

This is the real CPU spec and why the price difference:
https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/compare/7631441?baseline=7593092

Also, not sure where you are and how you get US$600+ price for the asus. Maybe you were looking at the overpriced m5 one? The m3 is plenty for Chrome OS and already ran at the chassis' thermal limit on full load.

In this price range, and for the described uses, I would 100% recommend a Chromebook, like this Asus Chromebook Flip or [this Dell Inspiron Chromebook 2-in-1 14] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LDF5YX3)

u/creaturekyle · 2 pointsr/chromeos

I think there are a few different models, but the one that seems to suit your needs and price point best is the one with the m3 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB drive, I think it should be the Asus C302CA. In the US it's available on Amazon, and from pretty much every electronics retail store (Best Buy, etc). I don't think it will be difficult to track down.

Here's the US Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/C302CA-DHM4-Chromebook-12-5-inch-Touchscreen-Convertible/dp/B01N5G5PG2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523311657&sr=8-1&keywords=c302

The other models come with core m5 or m7 processors, which are extreme overkill for what a Chromebook needs, and go for $200 - $400 more than the m3 version.

As for storage, in theory the Chromebook is all about working in the cloud, so how much does one really store locally?

u/trainedtech88 · 1 pointr/LaptopDeals

For those purposes, id suggest you get this ASUS C302CA-DHM4 Chromebook Flip

u/Aaron_Durant · 1 pointr/chromeos

I just did exactly this. Bought this one off Amazon.com as it is significantly cheaper even with shipping and import fees. The only problems I can see out of the box are the US keyboard (I'll learn to deal with it) and the US USB-C Wall plug, so I'll need to buy another one off Amazon before it arrives.

Do you/she really need a 15" screen? If not, Chromebook Flip C302CA with the Core M3 CPU and 4gb of ram should be fine.

-12.5" 1080p LED Display

-64gb eMMC Memory (like an SSD but a lot cheaper and a bit slower than SSD)

-2.65 lbs

-2 in 1, Touchscreen

It's $469 right now on Amazon 07:45:16 GMT-0400 (EDT) https://www.amazon.com/C302CA-DHM4-12-5-Inch-Touchscreen-Chromebook-storage/dp/B01N5G5PG2?th=1

u/ElDoubleOK · 1 pointr/chromeos

I haven't looked into the Pixelbook lineup but I've been using an Asus C302 for front-end development and I honestly can't see myself going back to windows right now.

The only downside with the C302 is it's limited to Crouton. Apparently the kernel is too old for Crostini, but I haven't run into a problem that requires Crostini.

With Crouton I run a Xenial chroot and open Linux Apps through the xiwi extension. I've run into a few issues with Xiwi, mainly authentication. Some apps require me to authenticate in the browser (Postman & Spotify), but they don't have the ability to access the native ChromeOS browser. To solve this I had to add a desktop environment to my chroot and authenticate in that desktop's browser. Luckily, I only have to do this once, so if you're limited on storage you can just remove the desktop environment after.

The other issue with running Linux apps through xiwi is you lose access to the media keys. Crouton has a flag named keyboard that should fix this but it doesn't seem to work with my chromebook. This isn't that big of a deal for background apps, like Spotify, but when I run VSCode I would get tired of having to leave the app to turn down the audio or turn up the brightness.

I did some research and found code-server. It was built to allow developers to access VSCode remotely through their browser, but I use it to run VSCode on http://localhost:3000. I created a shortcut for this port and checked "run as window" so it takes up the whole screen.

The only downside with code-server is that it doesn't have access to all the extensions in the VSCode Marketplace. Apparently the code-server team maintains their own collection of extensions and optimize them individually. Simple extensions like themes and icons get added automatically but more complex extensions like live-server and live-share have yet to be supported.

Also, I bought this USB Hub from Cable Matters. After it shipped, I was informed by Cable Matters that my dual 1080p setup would not be supported, but not only did my C302 extend to both, it kept the original display available so now I have a nice triple monitor setup!

u/Braiyen · 1 pointr/SuggestALaptop

Hey there. I was about to make a post, but we have nearly identical budget, preferences, and needs for a laptop. So I'm going to piggyback, and link a few of the options I'm considering, and maybe we can both get some more advice.

ASUS C302CA

Samsung Plus

I'm considering these two if I go for a chromebook. You pretty much wouldn't be able to game on these at all due to the OS. The samsung has a built in stylus if you plan to do notetaking with it. They're both lightweight/durable so they seem good for travel. I plan on running crouton for added versatility and coding development. And tbh I like the idea of a polished macbook feel.

Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575-33BM

Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-57D4

These are the two windows notebooks I'm considering. The first seems like a hard value to beat, and the price bump on the second seems worthit if you want the faster processor, SSD, more ram (although the first is easily upgraded), and some light gaming capabilities.

Overall, for me the choice is coming down to whether I want the 2 in 1 tablet + touchscreen/stylus notetaking capabilities, added portability, and lighter weight chromebook, or the software versatility and comfort of having a windows notebook I'm more familiar with. Let me know what you think please!

u/LonerIM2 · 1 pointr/SuggestALaptop

Since you need FullHD you may need to go with larger screen, so if you are okay with this, I would recommend this [ASUS] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5G5PG2/?tag=bkadamos_alltest-20) because it comes with Intel Core m3 CPU, 4GB of ram, good Flash Memory Solid State SSD storage of 64GB for faster boot up and loading as required, 12.5 inch Full HD touch screen which is a must have for this price range, high build quality, long battery life, lightweight, USB Type C, supports stylus pen, and it’s within your budget.

> typing long word documents ranging from 20 to 100 pages.

As others have said, I would recommend testing out Google Docs on your current PC and see how it handles the things you require. You can also try out Microsoft Office Online, and depending on the Chromebook you should have access to the Microsoft Office Android apps as well.

> Opening 10 - 15 browser tabs for research articles.

Most any Chromebook with 4GB of RAM should be able to handle that, but I would still recommend using an extension like OneTab. It's primary function is to conserve system resources, but it also makes it MUCH easier to scan through a large number of tabs very quickly because you can see the full tab name instead of the truncated portion you see in the tab bar when several tabs are open.

> Audio transcribing (listening to recordings at reduced speeds to type them out word for word).

I've never tried this on a Chromebook and honestly don't know if the default audio player allows adjustment of audio speed, but I'm confident you could find an Android app that would allow you to do that if need be.

> Reading/highlighting PDFs.

Kami should work very nicely for you. You can try it out on whatever PC you're currently using to see how it works. You could also use Onenote Online or any number of Android Apps.

> Will a chromebook with 2gb ram perform these functions smoothly? Or am I better off getting a low-end microsoft laptop?

Honestly, I would say neither. You're better off buying a nice Chromebook with 4GB RAM as a minimum. And since it sounds like you would be doing a lot of extended typing sessions, it's imperative that you get a device with a very good keyboard. At this point, the best option available on the Chrome OS side is the Asus C302CA or the Dell Chromebook 13 if you can grab one of those refurbs when it pops up on Dell Outlet.

> How seamless is the conversion from a google doc to word doc?

I've never had any problems with it, and I don't expect you would either unless you're doing some extremely complicated formatting. Even so, you could always use Office Online or the Android Apps (which, last I checked, were available on my C302CA).

u/ImAllSaucedUp · 1 pointr/tmobile

I have this Chromebook and it works pretty well for basic tasks like using Docs and browsing the web.

Of course, there's no LTE integrated which seems to be a buzzkill for what you're looking to get. Would tethering work, though? Not sure what you're mobile situation is, but 10gb of tethering included with the new TM1 plans might work if you're already carrying around a T-Mobile phone anyway.

Unless you're open to tethering, you'd likely have to go the Surface/Tablet route since no modern Chromebooks really have LTE built in.

I don't actually own one but I've been flirting with the idea of picking one up for a while. This one seems to be highly recommended everywhere, it's "convertible" and has a 1080p IPS touchscreen display. It's a bit pricey at $470 though

u/nsahba · 1 pointr/chromeos

Hi I'm looking for a chromebook that I can use for school (pretty much just google docs, sheets, etc). My current laptop is pretty old and slow so I would like something a little more powerful that won't crash all the time.

I also like making some basic digital art so touchscreen would be nice. I want to get something that could last me a few years so I'm willing to spend around $600 (preferably less, lol).

I've done a little research and I think one of these would be good for me:
Samsung Chromebook Pro
Asus Chromebook Flip C302

Would one of these work or would you suggest something else? Any help would be appreciated!

u/GF8950 · 1 pointr/laptops

Hey! I decided on the ASUS C302. After watching some reviews on YouTube and also the recommendations from r/chromeos, this was one of the best Chromebooks out there. I needed something that will last me for a good while and this looks like it can do everything that I need it to do. Yes, being able to flip it and the touchscreen is nice, but I need something that is portable and performs like a laptop. With this, it can do the browsing and document writing that I need to do.

If that sounds that something you would be interested in then i would seriously consider a Chromebook. You can get an excellent chromebook like an Acer 14 for $185 refurbished.

u/Ganji- · 1 pointr/SuggestALaptop

Honestly? If you want a PC Buy the cheapest one which probably has a 128gb SSD, a core m3 processor, and 4 or 8 GB of RAM. This day in age, you don't need much to run windows and you'll be able to play plenty of games. Anything Indi and 2D or low end 3D stuff and older pc games. And I'd go for a flip for shits and giggles. How about this one? It's like $600. A little pricey and you might be able to find a cheaper model. I personally owned a UX303. It had an i5 and 8gb of RAM. It was great. Until the hinge gave out. But that happened after I gave it to my mom

For Chromebooks what about this?. Still kinda expensive though. As for games, Chromebooks also run Android apps so you'd have access to play store games and emulators. Running Linux would give you access to more but I don't think you'd want to do that

​

-backlit keyboard

-aluminum chassis

-12.5 inch is the perfect size laptop for me for writing in bed, small, very portable, light, but big enough that writing on it is not a pain

-fanastic battery life, low power cpu , they last like 10 hours on a single charge

-lightweight ChromeOS , works extremely well, boots immediately from a sleep state as soon as you lift lid, otherwise a cold-boot only takes like 9 seconds

-can install linux or windows on it if you wanted , but chrome os is actually great for how you want to use it.

priced at $450 brand new, $375 refurbished on amazon.

"distraction free"/blocking yourself from the internet is as simple as telling your wife to change the wifi password, setting it up on your pc's for your, and then not telling you what it is so you can't use it on your chromebook.

if you're not trying to spend that much, just look on craigslist for an older model Lenovo thinkpad with a backlit keyboard and get one of those.

To be totally honest, you'll probably have a better user experience on a Chromebook than a sub-$500 Mac. For web browsing and general Office-type stuff, I think I'd sooner use a C302 Flip.

You can find MacBook Airs and Minis for under $500 easily, but they'll probably come with 4GB of RAM and either a teeny tiny SSD or a slower spinning hard disk. None of that is very fun to use nowadays - 4GB of RAM will work for a Chromebook, but it's a quick showstopper on today's Macs and Windows PCs.

I have found that ARM based machines while have greater batter life do suffer in performance.

To me, the best bang for the buck has been the Asus C302 I get a full 8 hours out of it. its still a 1080p screen. It's only 12.5" vs the 13.5" of the R-13. Yes it is more but I would wait and save up for it personally.

Depending on what you want to spend, this is a great option; it blends both laptop quality with tablet capabilities.
