@gjacobse sounds like fun
I always build my own PC's as I have to slowly upgrade as budget permits.
Franken PCs are the thing for me.

I never gamed until the last few years, and had mainly used laptops for my general daily workings.
Last new desktop I had was the one NTG sent me when I started, which was 2015 or so. That pc still runs for one of the kids. I picked up a Dell 8700 for me, it it was already used…

I have pretty much given up on games.
Haven't played anything really since 2018.
Just can't get back into it after taking a year off.

Really broke that habit... At least my future PC builds will be less expensive

Yippee ki-yay

Merry Christmas!
Hope you have a great time. Stay safe.

@siringo that's pretty funny.
Going to cause all sorts of fun and games for them.

Over here, all the public schools have a fibre connectionstandard. Not sure about the speed these days but they were all pretty well the same across the entire state.
No room for interesting alternative options like star link.

I would expect that some of them or at least the private schools out in the sticksbare now on NBN Skymuster.

The idea behind ChromeOS is to be "set and forget." It's not meant to be twiddled with.

I get that,… why so popular with schools..

This ^

I haven't had a lot to do with ChromeOS but the little that I have used wasn't great.
I'd pick something else if the use case/brief allowed for it.

I'd almost go with an Android tablet over ChromeOS, even taking Google's penchant for killing projects/product lines, if I liked the tablets specs
