If it is a real ipod, I think you need itunes which is not supported on chromebook.

At least that is what I get from reading the answers on the web.

I don't have an Ipod but my wife and son each have one and you can just download songs directly on it using the wi-fi. As far as storing photos, I store them on Photobucket because the app uploads them all automatically from my phone.

I'm not trying to talk you out of buying the ASUS though because as I told you in the PM, I love mine.

I've had a HP Chromebook for a little more than a year, if you like what you have been able to do with your Windows PC, stick with Windows.

Chromebooks are ok but limited and I'm not impressed with how fragile the device itself is.

If its going to be your only devices go with the laptop. If it's going to be a traveling device or just to go sit on the deck, go to the cabin or coffee shop type of thing the Chromebook is great. It just won't do what a laptop will. For me, I would spend the extra and get the laptop.

Yes, but is it really that much different?

No drives, minimal storage, apps are primarily internet dependent.

I guess I don't see much difference between a Chromebook and a tablet to warrant the outrageous price they ask for them when you can get a 10" tablet and a keyboard that will do basically the same thing, from what I gather.

In that respect, no there isn't much difference between the 2. I paid about the same price for my Nexus 7 Gen 1 as I did for the HP Chromebook but I would consider my Nexus 7 tablet more useful BUT I still use my PC much more than either one of those devices.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
