Toshiba 13.3" Chromebook 2 (Refurbished)
- A simple, lightweight Internet machine
- The sharp-looking 1920x1080 display is the best part
- Battery lasts 9 hours to a charge
- 16GB SSD and no optical drive: like we said, an Internet machine
- Runs Chrome OS, so you do everything in a browser or apps: the Internet machine thing again
- Model: CB35-B3340 (OK, we’re really getting into figuring out how these misbegotten model numbers got so misbegotten. CB35 is what Toshiba calls all their Chromebooks, for some reason. Seems like it could just as easily be CB3, or CB. After the hyphen - grrr - there’s another B, which is how Toshiba counts their models. A was the original, and there’s a C out now for like $310. Anyway, the 33 might be the 13.3" screen size, which would mean they’ve decided they’ll never make one smaller than 10" or bigger than 19". And the last two digits are the processor. Fascinating. Or something.)
Mehrica's Sweetheart
Hello, everybody! Oh, my! You’re too kind! Please, you’re too kind! I always tell everyone Meh audiences are the best audiences in the world and you guys prove it all over again every time.
It means so much to me, especially when I see my old friend MacBook being snubbed so badly at the big Apple event last week. Not a word about it from the stage! Can you believe it? What a terrible disappointment to the remaining MacBook diehards out there.
I have no words to tell you lucky I feel. I’m just a little laptop from Toshiba with a 16GB solid-state drive and a 13" display, but you wonderful people make me feel like I’m the kind of computer than can fill a room - like one of those old computers in WarGames or something.
Speaking of old computers, once again, I just want to send a word of encouragement to my very good friend MacBook. I think I speak for all of us in the current generation of computers when I say that MacBook was the reason we got into this.
I just want to say, with love, MacBook, no matter how many years go by until you get an updated version, no matter how you’re eclipsed by other, younger devices even at the company you helped build, you’ll always be the grand old dame of laptops to me! You’re a masterpiece, MacBook! You belong in a museum!
Anyway, back here in the present day, I have to say thank you all again for the love you’ve shown tonight and in my last few appearances here. Not many laptops have ever felt this kind of devotion, and even fewer still feel it today! Love you! Thank you! Good night!
