Hello my name is Jay. So I am in a bit of a dilemma. I am looking to buy a chromebook for school something that is light weigh and great on battery. I have my eyes on the Toshiba Chromebook 2 with an HD screen, backlit keys, with a quality build, but someone mention that if i wanted to run linux that i should buy the i3 which is something i am really interesting in doing if i am going to buy a chrome book because i want to install programs like vlc and maybe play some low standard steam games, but the total of the chromebook is going to cost around 400-500 dollar. If I wasnt running linux i would probably buy the the celeron processor version.
So I have a couple of questions. Should I buy the celeron processor or the i3? should i even run linux on a chromebook? is it worth it? if i do buy the i3 which cost 400-500 dollar should i just buy a conventional laptop that cost 400-500 dollar instead of the chromebook?
keep in mind the very core reason for this purchase is for school with light weight and long battery life with as much function as possible.
