[Official] Chromebook SG

[dredd]

Happy CNY everyone. I am interested to get a Chromebook for my primary school kids. Anyone know if it will work with MOE eLearning websites like MCOnline, Xuele and eZhishi etc which I believe still runs on Flash.

Thank you.

Yes, Chromebook support flash. Having said that, mconline flash implementation might be a bit buggy when using chrome. Based on my kids experience when using mconline and other elearning sites that uses flash, if they encounter flash not working or buggy, I've tried the following potential solutions for flash compatibilities:
Site settings > Flash > Allow.
Try deleting the browser’s cache and cookies.
Try using the Google Chrome in the incognito mode. If that works, then temporarily disable your extensions to identify which one is causing the problem. To do this go to chrome://extensions and uncheck Enabled for each extension one by one.
Reset your Chrome settings to default.

Last but not least, if all else failed, switch back to windows.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Now I need to rethink if it is worth the trouble.

So far it is still fine, quite rare to use Windows for mconline as most 3rd party elearning platform the school are using are going to html5.

My recommendation is to get a budget chromebook with touch screen that is 13" - 11", cost should be around USD 200-250.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Now I need to rethink if it is worth the trouble.

Thinking of getting a Chromebook, the Chromebook 15. But nowadays I worried that the laptop comes dead on arrival. Have you all had such experiences? Is there any way to mitigate the risk?

 

[ghgan1]

Buy from amazon, if dead on arrival can return back to amazon and they will refund you the money and shipping back cost.

Will there be chromebooks on sale at Comex? i just want to get something lightweight for travelling

Why not get the new HP Stream with Celeron N4000? Better CPU than the Acer, proper Windows and also $399.

Don't bother, you're better off buying on the internet.
So far only ASUS has them on their brochure but it's a Chromebox.

Wife's requirement is for internet surfing, Google spreadsheet drive etc. Maybe light YouTube.

I suggested getting a minimalistic chrome book cheapest but no idea what to look for. Any suggestions appreciated.

Other requirements
13 inch screen
Light weight if possible

Thanks

Has anyone tried the ASUS Chromebook Flip C302CA or Acer Chromebook Spin 11 CP311-1HN-C8MV?

Read the reviews for C302CA and it's good, worth to buy if you're into Chromebooks. However for Spin 11 I'm not sure, it's just another normal Chromebook with android support.

C302CA will be faster then Spin 11 by alot.

Hope this helps.

If you know how to run your own VPN server at home, set one up with port 53. If you connect to wireless@sg or any other public WiFI with VPN on port 53, you get to skip the captive portal login
