No...

You can factory reset the phone (equivalent to buying a new phone), or you can root then flash the phone with a different ROM.
 
What the fuck is a 'cloudbook', besides something I accidentally bought instead of a laptop?

Instantaneously apoplectic. It took 10 minutes to load rcf (proviso: internet explorer was stock). But im willing to give it a chance.

searches have little info on it, outisde of propaganda. What are the pros and cons?

I was going to do a full exchange from everything from my 3 year old laptop to a new one, but this may just be better as an ancillary product. I just want to be able to bring this with me while driving (motion sickness from looking at a screen while watching yt), and to hook up to the tv I guess. Was going to move over all my porn, but idk wtf a onedrive is, and I frankly just dont want my porn in the clouds. That shit just seems creepy to me.

..what can I do with this? why is it good? it just seems like a shitty laptop that is lightweight, and is likely good on battery life.

No real hard drive space. Everything is run from the cloud. So no internet access, it's just a paperweight.

Basically it's the windows version of a Chromebook.

Ive never done this cloud shit, what do i need to know? Am i streaming my own stuff over internet?
 
Basically yes. Everything stores to your OneDrive.
But, im sure you can attach an external.

Seems like a more portable laptop with less processing power that costs a little more after adding a drive

If they are anything like the chromebooks, they are unusable without an internet connection.

Build your use case. What do you do w/ it?

Email? How do you access, program or web browser?
Browsing? Browser preference?
OS? Do you care
Games? Do you play games? If so, what do you want to play on it?
Apps? Any known applications you require (office, etc)?
Budget? Obvious, whatcha got to spend, guessing not much if you're shopping Cloudbooks.

I dont like Apple and i want an actual laptop to use at home, that encourages use at a desk sitting up in a chair

Im a minimalist, i think what people are spending on for Whats basically technology fashion is silly.

My minimal laptop from 3 years ago was fine, i just sat on it etc

why do you want to sit at a desk to watch video and surf the web? I thought you wanted a computer to use in the car, presumably when you are waiting for your next customer. You'll be hard pressed to find something better than the iPad for that.
