So ever since i got a chrome book for high school its worked great, except for the fact that the bezel and hing have broke. This has made the chromebook less usable and made me more paranoid in opening or closing it, what should i do to fix it for the cheapest price? I dont know a lot on what tech sites offer in tools and tips so if you guys have anything to offer thanks, also hi linus c:?ui=2&ik=3cdfc8c036&view=fimg&th=154169d?ui=2&ik=3cdfc8c036&view=fimg&th=154169d

Have you tried turning it off and on again? /s


Anyways, cheaply would be like tape or a decent kind of glue. More costly but better looking would be to find/buy a replacement bezel or buy a parts only/as is laptop of the same model and just replace that part.

 

What brand is it anyways?
Chromebook is a general term referring to laptops that run ChromeOS.

 

Also what is the "e" icon, it looks very reminiscent to a terrible browser once developed by Microsoft.

i tried turning it on and off but alas it hasn't worked ;-;. also i wanted the lenovo n21 because its wayyyyyyyy more durable than any other chromebook and its meant for students. 

 

 

You didn't quote me so, sorry for the delayed reply.

 

Eh I think the Dell Chromebook 13 and the HP Chromebook 14 are great laptops and seem to be pretty durable, though I don't know why a student would need an extremely durable laptop unless they planned on throwing their laptop around or not carrying it in a bag, case or sleeve of some sort.

Imo 11.6" is a little too small.

Probably not much...

The Lenovo N21 appears to be cheaper than the C303, so I mean sell your C303 for whatever you can just make up the difference of the N21.

I mean it might but probably wouldn't run the greatest (not much SSD space and not a lot of ram).
