My latest day-job employer has made the switch from Apples (and s20fe) to pixels. The staff - mainly nerds - is actually generally pleased with the switch.
If the embarrassment that is Purolator (our national postal service offshoot courier 'service') was adequate last week, not only would they break a 20-year streak but also I'd've had my shiny company pixel by now and could pepsi-challenge it against my wife's shiny new company iphone.
What exactly does Google have left that people like? Gmail?
Shhhh! Dammit. Now they are definitely going to realize they haven't ruined it yet.
Gmail is already shit for anyone who wants to configure their own mail server.
I don't feel like Chromebooks are all that bad. Especially if the other option is limited capacity computer rooms. I imagine the restrictions of a Chromebook would be similar to the limitations imposed by the IT department.
It's good if you need to protect and restrict a large group of computer illiterate people with low needs for applications or power.
I agree, rather than a few of us having it good, we should all have it shit
the chromebook keyboard layout is stupid, especially if you like tiling wms
they removed capslock and moved super to where it would normally be, and renamed it to "search"
they put nonsensical function keys that don't exist like "refresh" and "fullscreen"
and then the keys are mushy too
Even my 8yr old complains about how backwards the chromebooks at his school are.
Any info on the SEO lying point? I haven't heard about that.
