Just got one for $200 at Walmart; “boots in seconds”...good for travel etc

But yes that’s the only browser and picture this: suppose you want a program or app that will allow you to record streaming audio. Something like Audacity or Audio Record Wizard 5.
They won’t let you. OK so look on the Google store or whatever. No such program is offered.

Storage—there’s some, not much; you can store a lot in a “cloud” but after a couple yrs you have to pay. But indeed light, long battery life etc.
If you sign in with your google ID (@gmail etc) you get the Web plus access to files you have stored. Or browse as a guest and no access to files.

...the only way to rec streaming audio would be to have a portable mp3 voice recorder and attach a cord (1/8” at each end) to record off the headphone jack into the voice recorder.

Also, you’re being constantly tracked and monitored by Google to an even higher degree than normal. You’re not their customer, you’re their product. Never forget that.
