My favorite device is a Chromebook


posts in this blog (including this one) and most of I would call "personal computing" that I do nowadays is mostly done in one of the most unremarkable devices that I own: a cheap Chromebook Duet 3, that I bought for around EUR300. I was thinking why, because it is woefully underpowered: a Snapdragon 7c Gen 2, a CPU that was already considered slow 3 years ago, coupled with an eMMC for storage, that is not much faster than a HDD.

It is generally the only device that I bring in trips nowadays, because while it is compromised it works well enough: I can use to consume media in tablet mode (the fact that ChromeOS supports Android apps is a plus in those cases), browse the web and even do Linux stuff (more about this later).
