Got my Chromebook earlier last week($51) and got my screen from Amazon ($36) Saturday morning and 15 minutes, two screaming kids, a pocket knife, and a jerry rigged precision screwdriver later I have a working C720 Chromebook that would have cost me twice as much to purchase a working used model.

I was looking at doing this with an xbox one, but after watching the prices of a broken ones to frankenstein together it just didn’t work when I added in shipping to Hawaii.

I’ve had my C720 for almost 2 years now. It amazes me how well it still runs. ChromeOS is such a lightweight OS that it is hard for it to get bogged down. Granted, you can’t do much outside of your browser, but I didn’t buy it for much else other than browsing and netflix.

And if you’re doing it right and saving everything to the cloud and anything does get messed up you just wipe it and do a fresh install.
