Not purchasing a chromebook

I saw chromebooks on sale as a early black friday deal at walmart. I thought about purchasing one for myself. I have had my laptop for years now. I bought back when I was in college in probably around the year 2012. So I have had my laptop for years now. It runs quite slowly now and is old. I thought about purchasing a chromebook for myself but they are so small. So I'm going to save up from surveys and GPT to buy a new laptop. I don't know when I will have enough but I know it will take me awhile since I don't make much but some months I do okay so it might not take me as long as I think. Would you buy a chromebook or new laptop? I don't know much about chromebooks, I just know they are small.

Not all chromebooks are small. Most are full-sized laptops. The only difference, they run chrome OS. If you're not familiar with Chrome OS, it's not a good idea. However, if you want a good windows laptop, you can easily get one for around 400.

400 is not a bad price at all!

I've never used Chrome OS before.

@o2bnocn Then that would be the reason not to buy. Stick with an OS you're familiar with.

Chrome books look a quite normal size to me and have a 15 inch screen which seems normal to me

@JimBo452020 - I also have bad eyes. I wear glasses and miss my contacts. Can't afford contacts right now due to being laid off of my job.

I bought a Chromebook back in May 2021. I am having good luck with the Chromebook so far.
