<div dir="ltr">I haven't used Chromebook for more than 5 minutes. But I guess will be good for my wife.

</span>Acer CB3-111-C8UB - chromebook.<br>
Celeron N2830 CPU - this CPU is crap, slow. This is a 3+ yr old CPU on performance.<br>
<br>
Slow travel computer, with remote access.<br>
Expect the keyboard to die in less than 2 yrs. Keyboard replacement costs $89.<br>
Don't think it can handle Kodi/XBMC playback. The CPU is too slow.<br>
<br>
The keyboard feel sucks.<br>
The touchpad sucks.<br>
<br>
You can replace ChromeOS for some other Linux and the M.2 SSD can be replaced,<br>
if you void the warranty. I run Ubuntu Server with Openbox WM. Do not expect a<br>
modern GUI to work well on this device.<br>
<br>
I have a Acer C720 chromebook that is about 2x the CPU speed of the CB3 and an<br>
Acer A500 Tablet. I will **never** buy anything from Acer again due to a number<br>
of small issues with these devices that simply drove me crazy. The issues I had<br>
wouldn't be an issue for Kodi. At least I don't think they would.<br>
<br>
This is $99 for a reason.<br>
