The only real flaw I see in my Asus C200 is in its display - if you tilt it forward or back even a wee bit, the contrast washes out and what was previously perfectly readable becomes a mushy mess. It boots quickly and the keyboard doesn’t feel miniature, even though it’s an 11-inch display/12-inch frame. Probably because I opted for the version with 4 gigs of RAM - that translates into better, faster multitasking. Some reviews say the performance is a little sluggish on this tiny machine, but I haven’t found that to be the case. And since it’s the computer I use mostly while working outside my home, that charge lasted for three days. I’ve had this Chromebook last for ten hours on a single charge.

I am terrified of what we’re doing to the planet I think about it every day.

I’m also deeply aware of how hard technology is on the environment. Sometimes I sit back and wonder how on earth they have mustered the resources to get techy with every new thing that comes out-I’m a writer, I simply don’t have that much money. Sometimes it’s obvious where they get the awesome stuff - comes with a conference ticket, someone sent it to their publication specifically for review, et cetera. I marvel at people who own a bunch of different kinds of computers, tablets, phones and consoles and can review, roundup and report on everything that comes out for everything. But sometimes it’s really hard to be hardware inclusive when I have limited resources myself. Y’all have rightly called me out on it several times.
