          They must be the most important thing on a notebook with whole 16GB of storage. Of course that is with the space for system.

        • eug on 20/09/2014 - 23:27

          @ozy: Chromebooks are cloud-centric machines. If you are doing many tasks that requires high-speed local storage, maybe a Chromebook isn't the best solution for you.

        • ozy on 22/09/2014 - 21:08

          @eug: not many tasks require high speed local storage on a chrombook as its "cloud-centric"…
          But, storing data externally, toUSB3 (through high speeds), is why a chromebook is a better soloution for me.
          But thank you for your concern, and the unrequired guidance.

          Ever downloaded a movie or music to view offline?
          16GB internal is useless..
          Fast transfer to external storage offline requires more than USB2.0……

        • muncan on 22/09/2014 - 21:25

          @ozy: with 16GB internal there won't be much to transfer….
          and if you're downloading straight to USB, I doubt the USB speed will be the bottleneck

          I don't think you understand the idea behind a Chromebook. It was never intended to be used as a device to download large files to a USB hard drive.

          Sure it can do it, but the specs wouldn't be catered for that use, so you can't fault it for that.

          But thank you for your concern, and the unrequired guidance.

          You might want to read your posts again, and hopefully realize that people cannot read your mind.

          Ever downloaded a movie or music to view offline?

          That should be your biggest, biggest hint that Chromebooks were never designed for that purpose. You're using it for a task that it was never designed for, so yes, you should certainly "pass" it.

        • ozy on 23/09/2014 - 22:45

          @eug: Again thank you, but USB speed is my concern.
          Although not designed to the purpose of storage, transfer speed to external storage is why i commented, and subsequently had your comments which was not warranted, but is welcomed in a forum.

          Although you feel USB speeds are irrelevant some people who copy downloads of media, be it music, documents, video or pictures, wish to transfer ASAP.
          Having a light weight cloud based OS is great, but as mentioned transfer speed of downloaded data to external storage is relevant even to a chromebook when used for the purposes i mentioned.
          At the price point its great and worthy of a post.
          But USB2.0 is old tech and in my case passed due to the lack of current high speed USB in a competitive new take on mobile computing markets.
          Online is only fun online. Usb made media fun offline, and when i want it on USB, i want it now.

        • eug on 24/09/2014 - 01:06

          @ozy:

          What I'm saying is your three-line comment which carried no explanation simply dismissed the Chromebook because it had USB 2.0.

          You never explained that you use Chromebooks for tasks they were never designed to do. People cannot read your mind.

          your comments which was not warranted,

          Your post was completely unwarranted, as you're trying to do what Chromebooks weren't made to do. It's like saying tablets are useless because their Bluetooth keyboards are nowhere as good as a regular laptop keyboard.

          Although you feel USB speeds are irrelevant some people who copy downloads of media, be it music, documents, video or pictures, wish to transfer ASAP.

          Did you make that up in your mind? Can you point out where I said that?

          Having a light weight cloud based OS is great, but as mentioned transfer speed of downloaded data to external storage is relevant even to a chromebook when used for the purposes i mentioned.

          You never mentioned it until your third post, where you also attempted to make a childish "your mum" joke.

          Online is only fun online. Usb made media fun offline, and when i want it on USB, i want it now.

          Then a Chromebook isn't ideal for you. It can do the job, but you can face limitations like that because it was never designed with your purposes in mind. There are better solutions around for your stated tasks which also allow for virtually unlimited codec support and a huge variety of media playback software.

          We're not sure what the point of a USB 3.0 port is on a Chromebook, but one joins the USB 2.0 port

          http://www.anandtech.com/show/6422/samsung-chromebook-xe303-…

          The USB 3.0 port is a bit useless on the new Chromebook.
          Given the Exynos 5 Dual SoC features an integrated USB 3.0 controller, it's possible Samsung just wanted to take advantage of the feature and perhaps test its implementation. It's a nice checkbox feature but it does nothing for the end user as far as I can tell.

    The deal that scotty posted is still available. It has twice the flash storage (32GB) and a better Intel CPU.

    I have it in my cart and it reads

    Items: USD 239.00
    Shipping & handling: USD 15.89
    Total before tax: USD 254.89
    Order total: USD 254.89

    This is an outdated Chromebook now, if you're after something even cheaper made by Rockchip (RK3288, 2GB or 4GB RAM) and it will be priced at $149 USD (not sure of release date).

      • Samsung Exynos 5 — this is dead slow especially modern Javascript-heavy web applications (Google+ for example)

      The ARM Chromebooks (RK3288 or the newer Exynos) are all pretty slow. Bay Trail Celerons are a bit faster but also require no fan. Acer C720 has Haswell Celeron which is significantly faster comparing to the old Exynos 5.

    Crouton.

    If you think a Chromebook/Chromebox can only do basic web stuff, nope. Much more. With a little tinkering, some extra external storage (SD card or USB3 drive), and switching to developer mode you can chroot Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04. First thing I did after I got my Asus Chromebox. It's insanely awesome, being able to load up Ubuntu with all your regular software to supplement ChromeOS's shortcomings. (Not that Google would consider them shortcomings, seeing as ChromeOS is designed to be locally lightweight and cloud heavy.)

    Chroot backups are a breeze, meaning you can powerwash your Chromebook to return to factory default (or buy a new one), boot up, restore your chroot, and in five minutes you're back to where you left off.

    But yeah. Find a Chromebook/box with good specs.
