Building test computer that runs ChromeOS & uses nothing but Google products. What’s the best laptop for this?





I just want to see how well a laptop or netbook could operate using only the (mostly free) products available from Google.

How do i connect my xbox 360 to the internet through my wireless laptop?

Ok here’s the deal, i have my laptop and xbox 360 which is on one side of the room (this is quite a long room, not sure how long but i dont feel like measuring) and i have the desktop computer in the other end of the room which is connected to a wireless router. What i want to do is connect my Xbox to my laptop and then using my laptop connect to the internet, just in case ill put a little diagram:
XBOX 360 <ETHERNET CABLE> LAPTOP <WIRELESS> DESKTOP/ROUTER <INTERNET>

Now ive been google-ing around and have found many people asking the same thing and others sharing their success in connecting and saving the money instead of buying a wireless connection for xbox, i have tried a few of these methods and none have yet worked, i have tried: making a bridge connection between my wireless and xbox cable and that didnt work and just plain connecting the xbox to my laptop and wirelessly connecting. i have tried both multiple times and nothing seems to work and aside from this topic sometimes my laptop doesnt recognize the xbox and when i do xbox-laptop connection test it fails. sorry for the long question but i really wanted to express in detail.

Attention college students lugging laptops… what do you use?

I’m just going back to school this semester, and bought a laptop this week for use on campus. I would like to bring my [15.4” diagonal screen] laptop to school in the same bag as my textbooks and notebooks. Yes, I know I can get a laptop bag and use a backpack. I don’t want to, which is why I’m asking this question. What do you use? Do you buy a special laptop bag that has a lot of extra room for books? Do you buy a messenger bag or backpack made for school, and put your laptop in there (perhaps in a slim case to protect it?)

PLEASE provide websites or links or detailed descriptions for specific companies or bags so I can review them. Don’t say “Google it”. Anyone can do that, and it’s not helpful. TIA.

Im too excited about something to do much else… What now?

I’m getting my first laptop… My dad’s friend fixes up used laptops and sells em’ pretty cheap, so he’s gonna buy me one. I get to go test it out on monday, but I feel like I can’t do anything accept think about that laptop. I’ve even looked up random stuff on google to try and fix my problem…. What should I do to get my mind off of it?
