I also get the same message after upgrading to windows 8.1. I managed to register my fingerprints and was then unable to log in using my fingerprint. I went to check the registration page again - and pouf it was gone and I only saw this message.

I tried to reset the TPM module from tpm.msc and did it but it did not resolve the issue.

On the upgrage:

- to achive greater integration you reduce upgreadability.

- Samsung NC10 is 150 grams heavier and a full 1.1cm thicker than the C720 - much less portable and streamlined.

- with memory being the only exception, battery and SSD are replaceable.

On memory size:

- there are many desktops this day running with 4GB of memory and that's fully sufficient for daily tasks

- that some phones have 2GB is more of a marketing trick than anything else.

- also phones with 2GB ram cost 600-800$

On SATA spec:

- the platform controller in this machine is of the Lynx Point family ALL of which support SATA 6Gb/s

On battery size:

- I agree with you on the voltage remark I made a mistake

- keep in mind that MacBook Air 2012 has 6500mah. This cheap machine has almost 4000Mah on a much more efficient processor

- what is important is the efficiency of the hardware not that much the sheer size of the battery

- I can verify that in Linux and ChromeOS 7-8h of battery life is real

- battery life is achieved through efficient hardware and efficient software. Windows has never been efficient battery wise.

On other OS:

- you can install several flavors of Linux

- if you're even more tech-savvy you can install more versions of linux.

- not on the last place this is a CHROME-BOOK. It is running ChomeOS by definition. Acer is not hiding that from you. As long as you can read you will know this is the OS.

- it's like complaining that you cannot change the OS of you smartphone. Well.. you just can't..

It's a GOOGLE/ACER device and they have the right to decide what they want on it. There are no cages in the same way that trying to cut wood with a kitchen knife is not the fault of the knife. There is no cage, you didn't have to buy this system, you could've gone and bought any other.

Finally man, if you bought this system and you are feel deceived based on tha arguments you state, it's because you haven't done any research whatsoever before buying it. This makes you childishly irresponsible with your disposable income. Then again the fact that you bought this cheap of a system and bitch so much about it tells me the income wasn't all that disposable after all...

Have fun with your Chromebook. Learn linux.

Keeping in mind that this is Chromebook by Google:

- ultra portable you cannot exect replaceable or extendable ram.

- battery is removeable and replaceable (if you bother to open the laptop)

- no ultraportable exists with easily replaceable parts which doesn't void the warranty

- allowing the user easy access to memory and other internals and NOT voiding the warranty is not something which any company would like

- 3950mAh means nothing without mentionning the voltage.

- real time on battery is at least 7 and a half hours which is a lot.

- memory is 4GB on C720-2800 model, plenty for ChromeOS/Linux (30 tabs - no problem)

- 16GB SSD is also plenty, as you should be living in the cloud with ChromeOS. It is very fast because it is SSD

- you cannot saturate any of the SATA (I, II, or III) with the usage scenarios this machine supports (browsing).

- the device is not meant to be installed a different OS (Windows)

- you can install Linux just fine, with plenty space left

- BIOS is very optimized for fast boot and thanks to that the laptop boots in less than 4 secs

- price is very nice for what you get - 250$ is amazing

Not on the last place, this is Chromebook by Google. Educate yourself before buying and you'll be much happier. Instead you did like any blind consumeris does and buys based on assumptions and advices by "expert friends".

It's only because I assume you're not stupid or blind, that I called you troll. Also I still think you are based on the type of english you exhibit...

Machine is light, processor is fast, screen is OK, battery life is fantastic, ram is a lot (4g). Don't know what are you complaining about.
