But why would anyone want to buy a chromebook? When they can buy a real computer for the same price?
If battery life is such an issue, just buy a powerbank.
As always, I got the username wrong…

The low price
Dude, there isn’t anything low about that price. That’s the point, with 600 dollars you can get a very decent computer for pretty much any other brand with at least the double of ram.
You see, you can get an used thinkpad for less than half the price and still have twice the ram.
It’s just a scam product for people who know nothing about computers and will pay for this trash because they simply think “apple a good brand, right?”.


That’s the thing, even used Pixels are almost twice the price of what I paid for my new phone.
Back when I bought my phone I considered that route. but then since I can’t replace the batteries on new phones without risking destroying the device. And there’s a big probability that the phone comes with an almost dying battery.
I also understand that GrapheneOS can’t be installed on any “unlocked” phone, it needs to be OEM unlocked and most sellers don’t know/specify, so ended up considering too expensive and too much of a risk.


That’s nice, but how much will those phones cost? Will GrapheneOS be an option on the low end devices or will they only support “some” devices, which happen cost as much as a Pixel anyway?
It seems that every few weeks some developer makes this same mistake and a news is published each time.
