Chrome OS flex is great for underpowered Intel NUC.

I have a intel NUC with Celeron J4025 (With 4GB Ram + 8GB that i put) which i bought 3 years back. It came with with Window 11 which was unusable.

Then i installed Linus mint. It was usable. But chrome & firefox where very laggy. So NUC was lying without any use.

I was planning to install ChromeOS. But failed multiple times. Last night i successfully installed ChromeOS. Thanks to Gemini. I had a faulty 240 GB SATA drive which was interfering with the OS installation.

Now my Intel NUC is flying, super smooth. It works as good as my 12th Gen Laptop. My use case is browsing & its best for that.

Dont buy chargers or electronic gadgets from TATA CLIQ

I bought a 65W Samsung charger for 1.5k. So called tech youtuber like sillycorns promoted in YouTube shorts as KILLER DEAL.

Many people in various subreddit & google search showed the seller was official TATA warehouse (Seller name : True accessories).

This is how we can confirm the charger is fake.

MANUFACTURE DATE:

25.01.2026

S/N: R37LIR8G601SE3

Gemini answer :

Yes, this charger is 100% fake.There are multiple massive red flags in that serial number and manufacturing date combo that prove it is a counterfeit product:

  1. Massive Date MismatchThe Printed Date: Says 25.01.2026 (January 2026).The Serial Number Year: The 4th character is L. In Samsung's official coding, L stands for 2018.The Serial Number Month: The 5th character is I (letter eye). Samsung never uses the letter "I" for months because it looks like the number 1. They strictly use 1–9, A, B, or C.

  2. Invalid Serial Number LengthYour serial number R37LIR8G601SE3 is 14 characters long.Official Samsung mobile accessories and chargers strictly use either an 11-character format or a 15-character format.A 14-character string is a hallmark sign of a counterfeit factory printing randomized, poorly formatted codes.

  3. Nonsensical Code CombinationsThe prefix R37 usually designates a specific factory line for Samsung Galaxy phone bodies (often tracking back to automated assembly plants in Vietnam), not external wall adapters. Counterfeiters frequently copy prefixes from real Samsung phones and print them onto fake chargers.

So dont buy products from TATCLIQ. Don't trust so called tech youtubers who can only read specs sheet .
