Greetings Everyone!
Welcome to the new blog! I am still keeping the Tipsidad blog going, but since Liz and I have entered into the world of entrepreneurship full on, the "single income" doesn't really apply anymore, seeing as we are both working at building the business. So this blog will focus on some of our adventures, trying out life hacks and testing out products that make running our household less chaotic...theoretically.
This marks the 4th day of test driving the Samsung Chromebook and so far I have been pretty happy with it.(part one of this review is found at tipsidad, here). Keep in mind that the primary reason that I got the Chromebook was to have a secondary device that I could browse the internet and check my Facebook and emails, without having to get a whole new computer.
The thing that I have appreciated most is its wake up time from hibernate. Just lift the screen and you're on. In offline mode, you can write notes and work on some emails, but other than that it is VERY limited unless you have a connection to WiFi. In fact, I could even say that without WiFi, it is pretty much a paperweight. Having said that, according to the cute little Chromebook animation, Google is working on increasing its offline capability all the time.
I have not had anyone to video chat with but the camera is really laggy. Personally, I would stick with facetime for face to face conversations.
But for things like blogging, working on documents in Google drive, checking Facebook etc. this thing is great!
I would seriously NOT recommend it as a primary device, it is most definitely a peripheral, but for what it does it is better than a tablet and nicer to use.
more to come...
Tipsi Dad
