Hi, I'm considering picking up povray again after a hiatus. Right now, I think
I'd like to keep my pov files off of my work laptop, and my home Macbook is both
full and incredibly slow. Not going to buy a new Mackbook until they update the
hardware, but might consider a hold-over device.

I see lots of devices out there at practically throwaway prices.
Q: has anyone had luck getting povray on and acceptable rendering times from any
of these new devices: chrome books, android tablets, Fire tablets, previous-gen
iPads?

 But seriously, what is the mechanism for getting povray on a Chromebook?
