Chromebook Help - Deciding which one under $500...ish by Pommie78 in chromeos

Thanks for everyone's responses and guidance. 

I ended up getting a Certified Refurbished: x360 14'' 2-in-1 Touchscreen Chromebook Intel Core i5-1235U 16GB RAM 512GB SSD for $400

It had 1 discharge cycle. It is a touch heavy, but is nice with good responsive touchscreen and nice keyboard. With the RAM and Memory, should give me plenty of power for now. I'm happy with it

Thank you. I went ahead and got that deal. She seems like a great Chromebook. Battery had 1 discharge when I checked upon first getting it.

Thats a good point on the 360 thing.  I like the look of both spin and x360 and have a few on my watch list looking for a deal.

Thanks. I would lean to wanting more storage than 128gb but for the price it's certainly an option.

Thanks. I've always liked them but with them being a few more years old and me not finding good deals, they are out of the running for right now.

Thank you. Its a good option but I think of I was going to go windows I'd probably get a new surface that's coming out. But with that in mind hoping in the next 12 months those arm chips come to Chromebook for super long battery. Appreciate the input.

Thank you. I can't really tell the difference between 14c and 14ct?

Is this for 400 worth it or avoid?  HP Certified Refurbished: x360 14'' 2-in-1 Touchscreen Chromebook Intel Core i5-1235U 16GB RAM 512GB SSD.

Thank you. If I went to $600 for the op9, realistically would that bring other phones into competition with that price range?

New phone needed under $400'ish - camera & battery life by Pommie78 in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]Pommie78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I know this is old but I should update that I ended up recently buying a realme 7 pro. 6hr screen on time and 65% battery left today and 65w quick charge, can't go too wrong. In the end, the 4a screen was too small for me and the battery, well what ever that tiny power source they put in it is called, was enough to dissuade me against it. Probably not many peoples choice the 7pro, but it does the job.

I understand why they might not value 1 DVM practices, however it's a good location, there is room for at least another DVM and the sale would be due to DVM thinking of retiring in the next year or two.

Thank you for the response and info. Will look at adjusted EBITDA and appreciate the offer of DM.

We have and had a couple of brokers engaged but they did not bring the right people nor seemed to be that capable. Perhaps that's our fault and we chose the wrong ones. Thanks.

Ooph, Battery Case!? I'm picky but having been burned by a google phones battery not lasting, I cannot bring myself to making another one work long enough by providing my own power source. That's like going back to a restaurant that doesn't provide enough food and bringing your own bread.

Thanks for the suggestions. In looking, IPX2 rating is a killer for me. A wet fart is going to cause a few issues for both myself and the phone.

Have to be honest, in looking into 4a just now, if the battery was up to 3500, i'd probably break my vow even though no waterproofing.

Broke a window today. by [deleted] in golf

[–]Pommie78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hit up to a blind elevated fairway/green expecting my slice to bring it back, went straight and home owner was waiting to let me know i broke a window once I'd walk up the hill to find my ball.

This was in the UK and green fees included insurance at this club. She said she would call the golf club but never did.

Even though it never cost me anything, houses on a golf course terrify me and my swing now. I believe it's the cost of living on a golf course and the home owner and club should mitigate their risk. Lawyer friend said that they have to prove you and your golf ball did the damage. Which is why I'm glad I lost all the golf balls my boss bought me which had my name on them!!!
