Question

I'm ready to dump my Chromebook, so where do I go from here?

by Oct 8, 2018 9:35PM PDT

My ACER R11 Chromebook hardware is great, but ChromeOS has been a frustrating experience. The fact that the SDMC files are not accessible by the Android Apps, the frequent lockups requiring a reboot, or just getting it to share files (data) with the Android tablet or windows desktop are just a few of the issues. I like the R11 laptop form but I don't want to go to another windows laptop. I have found Android to be a lot more friendly and predictable and would like to find a similar solution using pure Android. On top of my candidates is the Lenovo Yoga Book, but I don't really need a pen digitizer. So I would like to hear your suggestions.

Pinebook was very interesting

In addition to the Pinebrook 14" being very inexpensive laptop that could host Android just the idea of sticking with Linux is an idea I hadn't considered. Thank you for the suggestion.
