I am looking to get my stepmom a chromebook but have no experience with them at all. what i am interested in knowing is how they perform with the various cpu's and storage configs. i have seen them with ARM cpu's, pentiums/i3's and even i5's. any experience from our users out there with the various cpu's? i am sure she won't need an i5 but don't know if they ARM chips are good enough or if the pentium's are worth it. heck maybe even the i3 is worth it, i don't know
other thing is storage. i see a lot with only 32 gb built in. that seems low considering the bloat i'm sure is there. i know they can use sd but i'd like enough fast flash memory to do most of the heavy lifting. do i need to go with 64gb or more? or can 32 gb do the job?? mostly email and streaming video would be the uses but some web surfing and low end card games are also desired as well.
so basically looking for some experiences and advice on what is worth it and what ends up being a waste from those in the know
