New Computer For Stealth
 

Is there any advantage/disadvantage in getting a chromebook instead of a pc laptop for setting up stealth account/s.

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

Lets talk about the technical side for a second, lets say most of us here exclusively use a browser to access our eBay/PayPal accounts. They will only be able to link you on what information the browser outputs.. This information can be spoofed/changed/edited/manipulated via a simple extension, or a proxy/vpn/dongle/etc.. Buying a new computer would be in my opinion a complete waste of money. You need to look into Virtual Machines or if that is too complex (although its really not) learning how to manage your account(s) without creating inconsistencies or links.

I mean yes, if you was to buy a laptop specifically to manage 1 account paired with fresh information you would eliminate 9/10 links to any previous accounts simply because its a dedicated computer for a dedicated task however.. If you're unable to understand the concept and technicalities behind why you're being linked and what you need to do to avoid that buying a new computer will not help you, honestly.

No difference
You can use one computer for multiple accounts. Any computer will be mesh. The main thing is to create a new account.
I would advise you to have a separate laptop for basic accounts. And a separate laptop for hidden accounts.

chromebooks are cheap as chips unless you want a google pixel thats £899
apples and oranges to be honest the pc has more software than the chromebook
most chromebooks dont have a rj45 socket they rely on wireless internet but usb to rj45 dongle might work
pc's have rj45 sockets in abundance
anything that runs a browser will work
i like desktops with big screens like 40 inch but im blind from wanking to much when i was 13
to run mutilple accounts is hard for men as women are able to multitask just ask my misses
she can wash the clothes ,dry then ,make the tea and when the machines are done turn then all off while watching corrie
and be on the phone to her mates
i cant drive and talk on the phone i would go over a cliff
thx

Better buy a budget PC than a Chromebook.

The processors in chromebooks mostly use older model chips, and the speed is usually slower.

Just get a laptop with an i7, they're relatively inexpensive and they'll do everything you want with power to spare.

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

I just use the same computer with different users. Everything is good so far, but I have only been using stealth for a bit over a year

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

chromebook is really a pain in the ass to hook most printers up to. They are slower in general but hey, they are really cheap.

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

how about buying an older generation laptop from 2 years ago? I think that'd be a good option instead of a chromebook

Cheap my Chromebook was £899

The one hiccup I see is Microsoft Excel isn't supported by Chromebooks, so how would you keep track of IPs used across multiple accounts?

P.S. the online version of Microsoft Excel doesn't support conditional formatting (last I checked), so having to check for duplicate IPs (ctrl+f) would just become tedious.

I strongly recommend sticking to a PC/Laptop - as otherwise I feel you'll be wasting too much time finding ways to get out of sticky situations, like the one i've mentioned.

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

Many thanks for the responses. What a great forum!

I understand that you don't NEED a new computer, it's just my laptop has broken-so I'm looking to purchase anyway.
The Chromebook I find quite useful since I'm only browsing, plus they're cheap (£189-£229).

I just wanted to check that separate user accounts wouldn't share history or if there was a specific stealth disadvantage. From the responses I'm understanding they're isn't. And any disadvantages are more about computer power and flexibility.

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

google excel same thing lol

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

chromebook is good for separate user accounts

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

The best thing about my cromebook is it boots up in like 5 seconds from off

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

I didn't know Google sheet supported conditional formatting for duplicate values across the sheet. If it does, then great.

That is definitely one of the greatest aspects of Chromebook. Speed and efficiency.

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

You might want to make sure you can print labels from your Chromebook. It can be a real chore. I personally dont like installing plugins or researching and experimenting with them and I am sure most are wonderful and all but make sure it works for your needs before buying and then having it not work.

When we use chromebooks, we simple use a PC for labels. We email a pdf or use shipstation.

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

I have a pc with a laser printer for labels

Yes, a big reason I like it. Cheap, quick and easy. Sure it is very limited compared to a laptop, but I'm only using it for eBay PayPal and some browsing

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

What is your printing solution?

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

I got a Dell i7 17' laptop for around $800, and it boots up in about 5 seconds too.

No reason to get a chromebook, it doesn't even run everything you might one day want.

I use the sh1t out of my Chromebook and I love it!!!

It's amazing for keeping score on accounts and internet sh1t. I use two laptops simultaneously. I have a Lenovo Think Pad with Nvida graphics card, SSD and a i7 that I run VMware on. I use the Lenovo for listing, and all the other stuff I do that a Chromebook couldn't even think of doing.

The Chromebook I use with all google products and online stuff. I have a google account for each one of my eb/pp accounts. I use gmail, google sheets, docs, voice, shipstation, pixler editor and do google searches on the Chromebook. You can interlink all the accounts by sharing files. Individual google accounts also helps to keep all my account information separated.

I don't know what cheap Chromebooks you've seen that are slow, mine is as fast as my windows machine if not faster in some ways. You have to get a mid-grade Chromebook not the real cheap ones. The only time mine lags is when I'm opening big spreed sheets but I think its more the internet connection than anything.

I differently would not want a Chromebook as my only machine though!!! What a nightmare that would be...

It's kind of a problem with printing on a Chromebook. I have a printer with google cloud print so i can only print off one google account on my Chromebook. It works out tho because I share all my shipping label files with my main google account that I can print off of. There is always a work around.

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

The reason I never used a Chrome Book (or other low end Windows 10 machines) is that they can't load drivers for the Dymo label writers... maybe people on here know a way around that, but that's what's been keeping me from going the Chromebook route.

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

you do use one!!

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

I have a google i7 chromebook and 6 x pc's 4 are Bitcoin miners and a laser printer and a Macbook Air
and a gaminging pc with a XFX Radeon R9 295X2 (8GB) Graphics Card and they all have a place in my life

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

google cloud print works with Dymo label writers

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

its called SSD

they now run google apps

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

I had tried chromebook a couple days ago.. Bad thing is IP burger doesn't have software that work with chromebook operating system.. So after I bought the vpn they had to send me a refund and I returned chromebook.

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

Very interesting point you raise.

This just emphasises the point I made earlier, your going to have to constantly overcome hurdles like these. Is it worth the time and headache? that's for the OP to decide.

Re: New Computer For Stealth
 

it doesn't really matter. i use a cheaper Acer and i paid about $250. It works perfectly now but I plan on upgrading down the road. I'll probably just get another Acer with slightly more memory and speed.
