[QUOTE=Lyoko774;38905261]What happens when the school servers go down? What happens when teachers can't enter grades? Honestly, I doubt it'd make that much of a difference. I'd put my trust in Google services more than I would in a school's systems in terms of reliability :v:[/QUOTE] Every grade currently is already entered online in a system called Magister, it's fucking terrible and runs on Silverlight. It's not even hosted on school owned servers too

Teachers will just be delayed. So fucking what. If your schools servers go down to go back to a flash drive, something you can't do with GDocs [QUOTE=Goz3rr;38905277]GDocs and Google drive are both cached on your chromebook, and you can edit them offline[/QUOTE] Pitty you can't transfer your files to anything else since Google Docs documents are limited to Gdocs and that's it. You both seem to ignore the fact that in Australia, outside of Urban area's internet isn't all that common and what you can get isn't reliable. Most people I know live on farms and the best they can get is Dial up and EDGE phone connections.
Chromebooks support silverlight though, so it'd work since all you need is a browser
[QUOTE=Ezhik;38905281]chromebooks aren't even sold in russia so whatever[/QUOTE] Oh yeah, there's also that. The regional issue. [editline]20th December 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Goz3rr;38905301]Chromebooks support silverlight though, so it'd work since all you need is a browser[/QUOTE] Ewww.
I got a 60mbit line upgrade from Virgin the other day. We're getting above the advertised speed, which is great - If you're plugged into the "#~xxSup3r HUB from VIRGIN MEDIA~" the thing has about as much wireless range as a £5 RC car, I'm lucky to get 3mbit/s in my bedroom, I literally cannot do anything it takes 30 seconds to refresh Facebook

please help i dont want to be stuck in 1997 anymore
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;38905318]Well, i'd have to agree that it wouldn't work everywhere (Your school isn't using macbooks right now, is it?)[/QUOTE] My school is full of technophobes who don't allow laptops, so no.
It's something possible here since the macbooks are mostly funded by the government, i just think the money would be better spend on chromebooks
and I think it would be better spent on normal netbooks which are capable of you know running programs and stuff
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;38905326]It's something possible here since the macbooks are mostly funded by the government, i just think the money would be better spend on chromebooks[/QUOTE] They're still not worth it man Also is the E2-1800 APU really that horrible?

I've already managed to use half of the space of my 2TB HDD. My download folder takes over 500GB alone, that's a little over my old HDD's capacity. [editline]20th December 2012[/editline] Thankfully I've Smart Defrag installed. If it weren't for this the HDD would be mess.
