I've been using a chromebook for the last 4 years and it's been great for my needs (youtube, streaming, porn, etc), but I am shopping for a windows machine now because fuck google.

I'm not too familiar with chrome books, i know some of them are insanely locked down to prevent this.. but see if theres a linux distro compatible with your chromebook, and if its possible to slap a linux install on it.

save you having to buy a new machine, possibly.
