I used to be a field technician doing that and repairing printers. May the roads you drive be safe and your lunch choices to your tastes.
Comment on MacBooks, Chromebooks lead losers in laptop repairability analysis

Ohh yeah, I literally work as a field technician fixing computers for some of the big companies. Literally the only computers that make me & my competitors go insane are Chromebooks. Hardware is ok at best. Software is absolutely HELL though.

I’m curious what about the software is hell as a technician? I was under the impression that the ChromeOS part being normally unmodifiable by the user would lead to fewer problems. Is there something about it that makes it worse than a comparable Windows or Mac computer?

What’s wrong with the software? They are client web devices and with crostini you can develop at a pinch. But they aren’t meant to be laptop/desktop replacement.

They’re the non rechargeable ecigs of the laptop world

You mean the “disposables”, even though that’s a misnomer. Many of them require a charge one or more times throughout their shitty little lives.
