Chromebook 4 + Chrome OS 15.6" Full HD Intel Celeron Processor N4000​ 6GB RAM 64GB eMMC Gigabit wi-FI-XE350XBA-K03US,Silver

I bought this version for my father after he complained about viruses and antivirus software and all those persistent companies that put them on your computer to sell you the cure, I then liked it so I bought a more beefed up version for myself. So I'll write what he liked about this version. No worries about updates interrupting your use, no malware or antivirus pop-ups. It is super fast! The touchpad is super sensitive and 'clicks' items all the time when you're simply trying to scroll. You have to use two fingers to do so since there is no buttons to right click or left click. you can drag by pressing down on the touchpad though. Chromebooks can be tricky when finding printers that'll work with them so keep that in mind. The advertisement makes it out like the screen will blow your mind when you see it. It looks like a normal screen and there's nothing impressive whatsoever about it, although it is the advertised size.

The system using Linux is fast as the specs on this system are better than the minimum specs needed for a Chromebook. I have without much difficulty, (I'm leaving the Microsoft camp so my experience level with linus is limited) got inkscape, rawtherapee (photo editing), Krita, Hugin with dcraw, pencil2d, kdenlive, LMMS, Audacity, Filezilla up without to much trouble. And it out preforms the desktop which has better specs but slow because of how Windows handles drivers for video, photo, audio, et la.I've not yet done a build of a github program, I've considered OBS but the build in capture to video from desktop or webcam may be all I need on this system. The learning curve to unleash OBS on a virtual linux might take some effort. But since FFMpeg runs so fast to convert video, (ffmpeg inputfile outputfile) I quickly make a video, convert it, and edit it in kden.In fact because of this system I've created a USB live version of Ubuntu to be able to use on the desktop and Installed Apache and SSH server onto it. I tried svftpd but did not get the user file permissions correct and youtube videos using SSH (which also supports sftp) were better at the process.The ChromeOS unleashedChrome creates a virtual machine to run linux in. The good part of this is it helps in preventing you from breaking it, or unknowing opening up ports to the outside world. You must specifically open ports within the chromeOS setup. But you can for example access linux from your system itself ... IE within terminal enter "ip addr" locate the IP address being given to the VM by chrome in my case 100.115.92.197 enter that into the browser and you can see the apache webserver on your chromebook, Yes it is included in the linux build. But to get other machines to see your webserver is going to take some work.Chromebook leashed.Leashed the chromebook has all the functionality of a browser and phone with all the applications in playstore and webstore which are growing.Battery lifeUsing it as a Chromebook the battery lasts forever. But when I have http, php, et la services running in linux the power usage is a lot higher. Unleashed battery is about 5 hours, and as a chromebook I think its well over 8 hours, maybe even 12 if I take a break.Touch ScreenThis unit does not have a touch screen or the finger prints associated with a touch screen.
