On Friday I mentioned I was considering making an investment in myself this winter or spring. I’m ready to say more about that now.<\/p>\n
I’m considering buying a Chromebook to replace my current HP Windows laptop.<\/p>\n
The current laptop was gifted to me by a blog reader in December 2024. I’m so grateful for it. Without it, this blog would be a shell of itself, composed on a combination of my phone and library computers.<\/p>\n
But it’s time for the old HP to ride off into the sunset.<\/p>\n
Chromebooks typically weigh less than 2 pounds and have batteries that can go 10-14 hours between charges. There are several models on Amazon in the $170 range, which I could afford if I saved up for a while.<\/p>\n
Anyone have experience with Chromebooks? Do you think I’d be happy with my purchase? Email me at paul.ryburn@gmail.com or on Facebook Messenger.<\/p>\n
