    Went considerably well. I installed ChromeOS using the installer! I wiped it afterwards and now use it to move some things between computers. Highly recommend if you can’t or are scared of making an installer yourself.

    It works. I downloaded ChromeOS on my ThinkPad X220 and it works better. Can’t complain, it does its job. Nothing to write home about, so yeah. Btw, you can use this to install Chrome on any amount of computers, it just copies and pastes Chrome onto the computer you use it with, so it’s good if you have a pile of old laptops.

    This little USB drive is amazing! It has turned my pretty much unusable and terribly slow, old Lenovo laptop that was running Windows into a fast, functional and modern power machine! I am beyond happy with this purchase and feel like I've gotten a brand new laptop. The packaging is hilarious, but holds absolutely true; my old laptop would have been obsolete and I would have been throwing it out, but thanks to the ChromeOS it's running smooth and fast. The installation was super easy and only took about 25 minutes. I have played with it a few days and worked with it, got familiar with it and now feel already very at home with the new OS. I was using Google stuff (maps, mail, calendar, etc.) already and now it's all integrated into the laptop, even text messages are connected! Love it. Most of all I notice: a) how unbelievably fast my laptop is now. It boots up in 15 seconds (yes, I did time it). b) how incredibly long the battery holds, before it would drain a charge in a few hours, now I can work all day and it's not getting empty. I didn't measure anything here but the difference is staggering! Overall this shopping experience was great, I got tracking for the shipping, the item arrived on-time and exceeds all my expectations. This is a life saver (for old, slow laptops) and everyone should use it to reduce landfill and keep old PCs going.

    Worked so good! I have brought back 4 ancient iMacs to life with very little effort by installing Chrome OS Flex. Yes I could have done it without the thumb drive but I’ve been saying I would do it for years and never have.

    ​I have a massive stack of aging laptops that were collecting dust, struggling to boot, and essentially rendered useless as their legacy operating systems reached the end of the road. Instead of giving up and tossing perfectly good hardware into the e-waste bin, I decided to grab the Back Market ChromeOS Flex USB Stick Bootable kit. For just three bucks, this tiny piece of hardware promised to inject a massive dose of modern vitality into my oldest machine, and the transformation has been absolutely phenomenal. It arrived completely pre-loaded and ready to deploy, beautifully eliminating the tedious, technical headache of hunting down installation files, dealing with recovery utilities, and formatting boot drives myself. ​The entire deployment process is brilliantly straightforward, making it an absolute joy to use even if you aren't spending your weekends building custom PCs. I simply ensured my old laptop was entirely powered down, popped the USB key into an available port, and tapped my machine's specific boot key immediately after hitting the power button. Once inside the BIOS menu, it was just a matter of pointing the system to the USB boot option, and the setup wizard took over from there. The software completely wipes away the sluggish, bogged-down environment that was choking the hardware, seamlessly replacing it with a highly optimized, cloud-first infrastructure that gets you up and running in a matter of minutes. ​Once you cross the finish line into the desktop, the performance leap is nothing short of staggering. A laptop that previously took five minutes just to reach a usable state now boots up completely in under ten seconds, navigating with the snappy, fluid responsiveness of a premium, modern device. Because the operating system is specifically designed to offload the heavy computational lifting to the cloud, the aging internal processor and RAM are no longer constantly bottlenecked by heavy background tasks. I am effortlessly bouncing between dozens of heavy browser tabs, streaming high-definition media, and managing intensive web-based workflows without a single stutter. As an added bonus, because the system runs so incredibly lean, my laptop's fans are whisper-quiet and the battery life has seen a dramatic improvement. ​The genius of the Back Market ChromeOS Flex USB Stick Bootable lies not just in the speed, but in the brilliant approach to sustainability and security. It completely redefines how we handle "obsolete" technology by wrapping our older hardware in a secure, constantly updated ecosystem that protects against modern vulnerabilities. While it is heavily focused on web applications and doesn't support heavy native software downloads, it flawlessly handles the exact things we spend the vast majority of our time doing online. For less than the price of a cup of coffee, this clever little drive saved me hundreds of dollars on a replacement computer and turned my forgotten paperweight into a lightning-fast daily driver.

    Package shipped quickly. The packaging had all the instructions needed to start using the device and I was able to reboot and install ChromeOS Flex on an older pc in under 20 minutes. It has been given new life and has been working great since.

    Installed on old white MacBook Intel 2gb RAM 256hdd. Installed perfectly and runs clean without a single glitch. I've been streaming TV on it mostly, a bit of Email also. I'm IT guy since 1973, so I still play with stuff. I was reticent to try this, but for 3 bucks, I decided to give it a try. It's great, has such a nice feeling of no burdening code. You did an excellent job on this! A+!
