en No doubt it's a great app for Chromebook, it shows most of the stuff in one place. The one thing that i missed here is internal storage. That should also be mentioned here. Also in network section, it should mention that if the device support Bluetooth, Lan, Wifi with yes no kind of table that will become a great plus.

en This has been a useful app on my Chromebook. I'm not sure what to replace it with when Chrome apps stop being supported next year.

en Great tool. Request: show model & serial number. And save info to csv file, with or without headers, and with default filename <SerialNum>.csv (or .txt). Or does anyone know any way to do something similar to gather info to enter into an inventory spreadsheet (for non-enterprise collection of chromebooks)? -Thanks!

en Thank you, François Beaufort, for providing "Cog - System Info Viewer," so that users are able to view storage space information related to -- and other information about -- their device that uses the Chrome Operating System. And thank you for making this Chrome OS app available on an honor system, accessible to everyone including those without discretionary income. All the best. 😊 https://github.com/beaufortfrancois/cog-chrome-app

en I'm going to give it 5 stars because I don't believe in holding ⭐s ransom in exchange for the fulfillment of feature requests but if I were not so inclined I would give it 4 stars and say that the 5th will be delivered upon the inclusion of peripheral device hardware Information, specifically the USB type of attached peripheral devices. I can do this on my Linux PC natively but I'm trying to acquire this information on a ChromeOS Pixelbook and it's proving to be difficult. I was hoping this web app would help me get there - alas that's not the case but it's a good product all the same. Since I am so inclined and as such rated your app according to the description and how well executes what it does do, I'll just nicely ask you to consider adding the feature if feasible and at your earliest convenience and if not... well, thanks anyway I suppose
