So I'm hearing bad news. When I saw 200W PSU, I knew it would be a challenge for sure. Thanks for all your help everyone. This is why I love this community. :)

Here is the machine I have: HP Elite Desk 800 G2 Small Form Factor Business PC Intel Core i5-6500 3.2 GHZ GM 2133 4 Channel CPU 16 GB DDR4 RAM (1x16) 256 SSD HD 200 W Platinum 80 Power Supply It's a work computer, but I need to buy a graphics card for it that won't exceed the 200 W power...

So why would I upgrade my 2012 macbook pro for this? That price point is insane for the tech inside.

It's not really an option anyway. Here's a link to what people have done: http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-install-windows-chromebook/

That's a bit harsh. Especially when I manage a whole fleet of Chromebooks for a school. If you have a tech guy at the school, they can restore it from the USB boot disk. It takes 10 minutes. Nothing to worry about. Unless he opened the sucker up and did damage to it that way. Then it's a...

Lower right corner there should be a little o (next to your log in stuff). Click on that. It should open the SD/USB device. If it doesn't, then it isn't inserted properly, not compatible, not formatted, or bad.

Were you grounded when you did this. Static electricity is a bad thing. I'm guessing it's that or a missed connection. Chromebooks have a pretty finicky seating on some of those ribbons. Check those, they shouldn't pull out easily if seated properly.

I wouldn't. Touch screens on a Chromebook are largely useless right now because there's virtually no apps worth using outside of google draw for them. We've tested them and they are clunky at best at this point. You are better off buying a standard, solid chromebook (HP G4 kicks butt in my...

HP G4 Chromebook is fantastic. I manage hundreds of them. Few problems with them. Excellent battery life. https://www.amazon.com/HP-Chromebook-Graphics-T4M32UT-ABA/dp/B016J9LHSO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1477112315&sr=8-2&keywords=hp+g4+chromebook

In gmail you can turn mail notifications on in the settings but unfortunately I don't believe it plays an audible sound.

Yes and no. There are some paid extensions for the Chrome Browser/Chromebook. Wevideo is the best, but you have to pay for it to take the watermark off of whatever you create. For single licenses, it's very reasonable and does a good job. It's like a lite version of imovie. I hope that helps.

Esc, Refresh, Power button. Control D Space Bar Chromebook should restart and reset to factory settings. At reset the screen should work again. If it doesn't then you can check it with an external monitor. If the external monitor works, then order a new screen from Amazon (usually about...

I don't see why it can't. If a phone can handle multiple BT devices, a Chromebook should as well. To be safe, you can order it from Best Buy and return it if it doesn't work.
