Laptop Chromebook Dual Boot

It's a great product but If only it did a little more than what your phone can do. I enjoy it though. It wont replace the need for a laptop entirely but close to a chromebook.

Great minimalist laptop bag with just enough space to carry a few essentials. Just what I was looking for to carry a Chromebook.

It seems well-made my Chromebook looks comfy in it.

New hard drive fixed my dual boot issues and have plenty of room for projects and storage

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) So far so good with dual boot Fedora 36 and Windows 11. Machine feels sturdy, good keyboard, does not get hot or noisy on normal workloads, good screen. There were some improtant tweaks to make to get the most out of the harware on Linux. Namely, using the `amd-pstate` cpu frequency scaling driver (with schedutil governor gives great results), and installing the proper codecs for smooth video playback and hardware acceleration on the gpu (`ffmpeg`, `libva`, `libva-utils`).

I got this enclosure to dual boot Windows on my iMac with an SSD. The installation of the SSD is incredibly easy and fast, just be careful of when you put the SSD in to do it at an upward angle until the SSD slots in without forcing it. After the SSD was seated the enclosure easily closed up and it was ready for use. There is a thermal pad to transfer heat to the case which acts as a large heat sink. So far with constant use and installing a bunch of software on it all at once, the case has only slightly warmed to the touch. There really is no need to worry about overheating because even under a constant load the case does a good job of drawing the heat away. For the price it is a great option.

I edit Broadcast TV shows and I have a dual boot MAC Pro so I can run both Final Cut Studio and Media Composer. I'm tired of having to swap keyboards when I need to change edit systems. The Keyboard cover solves that issue and had the added bonus of protecting the keyboard from my mishaps with coffee during long edit sessions. So I now get by with one keyboard that I can't fry with my Starbucks. It's a win-win situation. You gotta love that!

This machine does everything I need at a great price. I can dual boot Windows and Linux, I can use an external monitor at 144hz through the USB-C port, audio out port is on the left, and getting into the device for upgrades is super easy--adding a second drive was simple. Personally I would prefer a larger keyboard without the 10 key on the side. The monitor is great for the price, but if you want better colors, you'll want to spend more on something else. I keep my chat windows open on the laptop monitor when I'm plugged into an external display, so it's no biggie for me. The WiFi radio it comes with is also a cheap one. Linux had no issues with it, but Windows 11 wouldn't connect to it sometimes. So, I swapped it out for one from Wise Tiger with an Intel AX210 and it works great now! Yes I would buy again and shipping from B&H got here fast!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the USB-C Multimedia Adapter because I travel and do presentations. I set up training presentations on a laptop or Chromebook. Then I use either an available Moniter or TV. Often some are older or don't have the same media attachment as my laptop or Chromebook. With the Multimedia Adapter I never have to worry about not being able to connect to give my presentations. There is nothing worse than to have a room full of people that are paying you to conduct a training and you look like you are not competent enough to connect a PC to a TV or projector. This Adapter has already been a lifesaver once and I am sure it will be again. It is just super convenient.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works to charge both my Lenovo laptop and Chromebook at a decent speed. Very similar to the original cords that came with those devices. Can’t speak to durability yet but hoping it will last.
