Google execs should be roasted alive for the chromebook, which killed the market for small and cheap laptops by replacing them with a crude facsimile of a computer.

And made it so fucking hard to reuse the hardware. JFC just let me install a linux on the stupid piece of shit, it's fucking evil to make a proprietary cable necessary to even try and you might still brick it.

I still mourn the way the iPad killed netbooks

I dunno how you find them on the general market, but when our school district switched from Google Apps for Ed to Microsoft Office, we got a ton of what they're dubbing "winbooks" which are chromebook-sized low-cost Windows laptops. They exist, at least.

Institutions are really supposed to deregister them when they trash them but lol, that never actually happens.
