My computer died last night.

I had to lay out another $200.00 to replace it (This should have gone for old bills, but I had to have this thing).

$200 for a replacement is not so bad

$200? It must be a Pentium 2.

It is an ACER 15.6 Chromebook 15 CB3-532

It's a PITA when they break or die. Better luck with the new one.

Did you give it an appropriate funeral...???

I use a Chromebook at work and LOVE it. Have a high end small, light, SD Drive laptop that was my go to work PC. When MS started that crap with W10 where the updates come when they want and you can't choose it did it for me. Turn the damn thing on when I have time and now and then it would brick as it was doing updates. Wife had an old CB she paid $100 for new years ago. I took it to try and loved it. Bought myself a new one off Amazon for a coupe hundred. Things are great for playing here, watching stuff off streaming and such. So damn fast and light. My Wife had the same laptop at home which was her all the time use PC. Her's started screwing up so I just gave her mine. Since it's always on she does not care when the updates come and slow it to a crawl for a while.

The keyboard died after about 2 1/2 years of use. If the keyboard on this one dies after 2 years (more or less) I'll move up to a better brand.
