- Why use a Chromebook? Because they're freakin' awesome!
In a matter of a week I went from not even knowing why Chromebooks exists to absolution loving it!
Chrome OS may seem a bit limiting on the service, but when you dig in to things like Android on Chrome OS and Linux on Chrome OS, you start to really see the power of these devices!

Saviourself You sure can!
So true, I was so upset when I had bought this Chromebook at first I even tried taking it back but could not return it. When I started actually using it and learning about it , it's been the best laptop I've ever had. I've learned so much about software and the Laptops Capabilities and even joined communities online.
Basically a big ass phone with a keyboard
@max marrero www.laptoponbudget.com/chromebooks-with-8gb-ram/ good luck learning how to google...
chromebook exists bc broke students (me) exists
I don't know why I watch these videos AFTER I buy the product instead of before 😂
To justify your *impulsive* purchase, duh!
It's been about a month...what do you think? Do you mean Windows/Linux/OS X computer or is this fine? Do you run any other Android or Linux apps on the chromebook?
Right here with you XD
I know, I also made the mistake of purchasing one.
@@charliedouglas1574 I'll answer ya, yes you can run those apps. I've never used Linux because when I install crouton I have to uninstall it because I don't have enough space. If you make the mistake of getting one; PUT IT IN DEVELOPER MODE! They are practically unusable without it in my eyes.
Nice to see a guy who immediately starts out telling us why we should watch the video. Keeps a good pace and delivers on his promise to inform. Nicely done. Thanks for allowing me to feel at the end that I made good use of my time.
Wow, thank you so much.
I appreciate the kind words and I’m very glad that you found it useful!
Hey dude, finally started seeing notifications again. Glad to see others talking about chrome books. These are really cool machines. Love the ease of connection and use. On some days I use it more than my MacBook Pro. Great video dude.
Thanks man!
Yeah, I was really surprised by how much I could do with it, I'm absolutely loving this thing!
Thanks for checking out the video, I appreciate it!
I have an older Toshiba Chromebook 2, it is a great device that I picked up dirt cheap second hand. It has a full HD display, with 4 gb of ram, but only 16Gb of storage. I just picked up a 128Gb Micro SD card for more storage, and that works great. I used ChromeOS for a bit, but I very quickly dual booted with Linux, and I have been using GalliumOS on it since. I runs great, the battery life is fantastic, and with the new pushes from steam, I can use Proton to play windows games, obviously hardware dependent, and some older Windows games actually run better under proton then they do on Windows 10. And a great thing to mention is that with the Steam Link app, just days after you released this video, Steam added support for game streaming off-network, so now that little under powered Chromebook can stream anywhere, with your network connections being the caveat.
Great video, and many great points. Chromebooks are great for a large amount of users, most people just don't know that. And with Linux support, they are even better then they started.
This is very reassuring! I just had a struggle with the decision purchased my first Chromebook for only $350 This helps me feel very good about my choice! It does have pretty decent build and 128SD only 4memory but finding out that's ok, like you say. Will know better once it arrives but the store model was quick with lots of working apps.
Can u give some thoughts now if u have been using it? Like overall experience and is there a lot of difference with windows laptops..
@@flamurbeqiri3725 for me the keyboard is nice, the display is nice or decent, and it's snappy to, I was worried as well, to switch, but I'm happy I decided to get it
Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for this great introduction to Chromebook. I've loved them, but not yet committed to using them fully and want to shift more to it simply because it is a simple, reliable, tool. This has helped me to consider taking 'chromebooking' to that next level.
That’s great, thanks so much for letting me know and I’m glad it was helpful!
Since online learning has started, my chromebook has been super useful as it is fast to operate online via audio and cam and also very simple to use like Google docs etc.. Worth the money!
Literally been thinking of picking one up. Thanks for this!
No problem man!
Thanks for stopping by and hope you found it useful!
Don't do it!
@@DigESource Why?
I'm got an unloved second hand chromebook and just getting into the ChromeOS experience but loving it so far! Great video! :)
Thanks so much and I'm glad you're enjoying your machine!
Me too, trying to figure out what jack is for what.
SUPER COOL AND KIND GUY! I LOVE HOW ENTHUSIASTIC YOU ARE!
super cool AND kind guy!!!! Legend speaks
I was like you saying what's the point of a Chromebook? Well I bought an inexpensive Asus Chromebook with 4 gig of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage for $270, plus I added a 64GB SD card. I've had it just a week and I'm blown away by how easy it is to use how fast it is and the enormous amount of capability in terms of chrome OS Android and Linux. This sleek and slim device handles 95% of what I need to do with a laptop. I've had increasing frustrations with Microsoft and Windows 10 that has basically crippled my i5 laptop with 8GB ram and runs slowly because of all the windows garbage and the ridiculous updates that Microsoft forces on us. And don't forget those disastrous updates over the last year. I'm so glad that we have another portable option I love my Chromebook and I highly recommend it to others!
Mark VanOuse Excellent, thanks for sharing your experience !
In the last 6 months it has been my daily driver
He knows magic his fingers disappears behind his background on the Chromebook at 5:06
of course, I had to check
yup you're right
at 2:00 he doesn't use his magic.....
That's how crappy it is... when you have to superimpose a background image on the machine.
😂😂😂😂
Lol he’s using green screen
Incredibly informative, thank you. This is the quality content I look for from tech videos!
Thanks so much!
I really appreciate that feedback and I'm glad you found it useful!
Nice Steve!!! No wonder it took you so long to finish this video, is like three videos in one!! All good info and great Broll! 😎👍.. I learned a lot about chromebooks that I did not know
Thanks man, I appreciate you checking it out and for the feedback!
I'm so surprised by this thing!
Simple and elegant explanation and production. Classy 🙏❤️
Love seeing the past D&D searches you've got in the Play Store search history. A fellow D&D player. My man!
let them that throw 16 sided dice...unite!
Very informative!! You deserve more views and subs man. Super in depth stuff here
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate that and glad you enjoyed it!
Most helpful. The more I listen to people teaching info on chromebooks the more I understand. It's a nice lightweight option for a more efficient computing experience. Perfect for streaming and browsing on the internet, media usage and things of that kind. Sadly I'm slow at learning but I find the whole computing experience absolutely fascinating. Thank you for taking the time to teach others your computer wisdom! 👍.{Top Man}.👍
I have a question please. what is that called when your showing your computer screen while talking. is that an app?
@@godspurposetheone
Hello, sorry I'm really not sure what
the correct technical terminology is for showing your computer screen while talking. But there are tutorials on how to record yourself and your screen at the same time on RUclips. Meredith Marsh has an upload about it which might be helpful for you. Cheers. 🙂
I went from pc/Acer 17 ‘ laptop to iMac/iPad to Chromebook C330.. I am sold ! I am an instructor, self employed, and I love my new friend !
I liked this video. I'm an old lady, who was a MS software tech/Systems OEM, who retired and watched everything I know go the way of the dinosaur. I have a Chromebook coming, delayed weeks by the COVID crunch, so I've been checking out Chromebook info online. Thanks for the insights.
Such an excellent, informed & non-bias review - Nicely done, sir!
Well done! I've been running my business off various Chromebooks for years, and couldn't agree with you more.
That's great, thanks so much!
Great video, thanks for getting to the point quickly with very good info presented in a very easy watching way with no filler
Doug Lind thanks a lot! I’m glad you liked it and really appreciate the feedback!
This actually was a good video so I went ahead and like and subscribed. Good Job Sir.
I love the clear loud communication
I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching!
Great video. Very informative. I've been looking for a video on chromeOS and all of its capabilities and your video covers everything I wanted to know. Keep up the great work.
Excellent, I'm really glad you found it useful and thank you for the comment!
Also do note for $20 you can get a 128GB micro SD card (or for $40 a 256GB one) and then storage will not be an issue, do note if you plan to put your chromebook in dev mode with headphones, as soon as you see that white screen, rip your headphones off ASAP, as otherwise it will blast 2 beeps at full speaker volume directly into your ears.
Thanks so much. You have answered so many of my queries. You're amazing
Just found your vid. Thank you. So many questions answered. Especially about the edit/media stuff.
Thanks very much for a brilliant explanation one of the best I have seen
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that and I'm glad you found it useful!
My wife uses a Chromebook and it suits her needs perfectly, she has a very capable machine though for a Chromebook, but the fact you can use android apps now is also a massive bonus.
That's great!
Being able to use Android and Linux apps HUGELY improves the usability of Chromebooks.
if it is such a bonus why not use a tablet?
@@filipkunilo9183 Chromebooks already come with a keyboard and they have more updates. They also have more apps and programs adapted for a bigger screen.
@@filipkunilo9183 , because tablets can be hacked and get viruses. Google pays out $100,000 to anyone that can remotely hack a Chromebook. They haven't had to pay out yet. Also, for a virus to work, it has to be in executable format. Chromebooks don't allow you to download executables.
@@filipkunilo9183 mytabletguide.com/chrome-os-tablets/
I am shopping for a laptop and your video has been the most helpful!
That's great, thanks so much for letting me know!
Good luck on your search! 😁
Really great video. In terms of it's simplicity, it's exactly what I need to do certain tasks online and not have a heavy laptop to carry around. Will probably pick one up tomorrow.
Excellent!
Thanks for the comment and feedback, I appreciate it!
Let me know how it goes with your purchase!
DecrepitThoughts: Update?
Why not a tablet?
I’ve used Chromebooks a lot in school and I grew to hate it do to how limited it is compared to my MacBook and even my iPad. I know that Chrome OS at school is even more limited due to school regulations, but even outside of the school servers, I still found Chrome OS limiting. However, after doing research on Chromebooks, I at least respect it now. I still prefer Windows, MacOS, and iOS, but I can understand why people would go for a Chrome OS computer. The low price of the product completely justifies the very simple nature of Chrome OS which makes it a great option for those on a budget, those who only need it for basic office work, or those who are minimalists. After I watching this video, I now consider Chromebooks a viable option for my computer the next time I go out to buy one. Admittedly, it’ll be a while until then because I just got an iPad recently and I enjoy using it for entertainment and work reasons. But maybe 5 or 6 years from now, which is the time frame for me to get a new computer, it’ll be interesting to see how Google’s Chrome OS will compete against the other operating systems from Microsoft and Apple.
VanMan 23 Thanks for commenting and sharing your opinion and experience with them!
Chrome OS has certainly improved over the years. I myself made the mistake of purchasing a Chromebook back in 2013 when it was in its early stages, and using it without the internet was unusable and I regretted my purchase. But then I found out that after updates, it became a more reliable machine.
Alex Golubchik Yeah, the functionality now is vastly improved over the early days.. and keeps improving
Yes now they are very usable, i got one about 1 year ago, as a android table replacement and now i'm running linux (crouton install so i can toggle between chrome OS and unix and i use Lightworks video editor which is right up there with top video editors) on it and wire, so i'm running android apps, unix apps, and ms office in wire. I can do everything in one device that i used to use two or 3 devices before for half the price, sure not for everyone but i'm an IT guy so for me its super amazing, doesn't matter what i'm doing, work or play i can do everything
You are welcome. It is true. They do work pretty good.
I love my Chromebook. It's my second. The only deal-breaker for me is using My Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 scanner and Evernote. The scanner and Evernote both require a PC or Mac. Yes, I can access Evernote on my Chromebook via the web client, but the web client is basically crippleware compared with The Desktop client. I keep a Windows desktop primarily for those two things, and use my Chromebook for everything else. Great video!
Excellent video! I just purchased my first Chromebook and after watching your video, i'm glad I did ! THANK YOU!
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
watching this on my HP Chromebook 14, bought way back in 2014. It still works great.
Same, although at times I wish that it ran Android apps like the newer ones do... >_> The only issue I have had with it is if your keyboard is not mounted properly the flex of the plastic will cause the 8, i, and k keys to go out.
@@wh0_am_152 Nice; you could probably fix the keyboard by opening up the base with a spudger and realigning keyboard. I don't really miss any Android apps on the Desktop. Also, smartphones for the most part are consumption devices, and offer low privacy. If you use a script like crouton, you have access to a full version of Linux and you can do almost everything that you can do with a normal Desktop. Space limitations can be overcome by attaching an external drive and running an OS off it.
@@adroitspartan7907 At this point it would just be better to replace the keyboard due to PCB flex, and I do have Crouton loaded on my device but as I have the Tegra K model most programs are incompatible due to the ARM CPU at the core of the SOC.
@@wh0_am_152 - Ah, the Tegra K i wanted to get my hands on one of those at the time. Hopefully, you can get a replacement for the keyboard that makes economic sense, or just get an external one if mobility isn't priority. Could you elaborate on which programs(32/64 bit?) were incompatible, graphics and video-editing? The ARM ecosystem has come a long way since.
wait... i double checked the end of life list, did your HP chromebook 14 stop working after they stopped updating it? im assuming your chromebook is the oldest HP chromebook 14 listed.
i still have 5 years left on the 2018 lenovo 100e i just bought.
Thanks a lot, I've been looking for a budget laptop and you have helped me make my mind up
Excellent, I'm glad you found it useful!
Nice video man, I just discovered chromebooks and fell in love

Great Video, would love to see the tutorials you mentioned. I'm now a subscriber to your channel.

Thanks so much for the subscription and the feedback, it's much appreciated!
The sweet spot for processors on chromebooks is m3. 64 GB of shortage and 4GB of RAM.
If you're going to be running Linux along with ChromeOS you'll need to get 128GB.. 64 just isn't enough.
If you're only using the Chrome OS and Chrome / Android apps and use cloud storage, then I agree with the 64GB.
You call it "shortage" for a reason?
My celeron chromebook runs fine while running basic ChromeOS and Android stuff which is mostly how I use it. It lags a little running some Linux apps. 4GB is an absolute minimum for RAM on any device running Chrome OS or really any device that will be running the Chrome browser. It is a memory hog and will be noticeably laggy with less. Luckily, most Chromebooks have 4GB these days.
@@Eevnos Is there a minimum storage requirement to run linux on chromeOS? I was interested in getting a HP Chromebook X2 mainly due to it being detachable with stylus support, but it only has 32GB storage. Would getting a microSD help?
The Ultra Low power Intel Core i CPU series is certainly far better performance than any Celeron or Pentium certainly within the same Gen. See performance measurement test charts. The 'M' nomenclature has been removed and returns to the nomenclature of 4th Generation, similar to all Core i processors using the letter "Y" compared to "U" for most mobile processors and "H" for the higher end capability mobile processors used commonly for gamming and workstation mobile devices. Thus the 8th Gen Coffee Lake Core i3-8100Y is the equivalent level to the previous M3-5Y,-6Y,-7Y. There are also i5-8xxxY, i7-8xxxY versions. Also there are 10th Gen Comet Lake Core i3,5,7 "Y" versions too. Intel should be releasing their 11th Gen mobile processors later this year, likely in 2nd half 2020 which will include all three Y,U,H versions. Chromebook and other ChromeOS devices seem to have lagged in availability, not offered initially as ChromeOS devices with 10th Gen, only appeared more recently within the last few months [generally since Q2 2020, 6-9 months after initial mobile devices were available].
Also some manufacturers have a M.2 slot internally to add SSD of any size.
If You need a more capable computer other more capable processors are available from Intel "U" and can use various mini, desktop processors from Intel and AMD. Am wondering which GPU devices are compatible?
Also, if You have an existing computer, You can add multiple booting with one Being ChromeOS. See Chromefy, Project Croissant group for details how to accomplish this. [Which installs on a CUB Linux installation, giving full access to Google Play Store, Android Apps, etc., as seen here, plus the Ubuntu Linux environment.]
All The Best and Much Success, Health and Well Being.
Sincerely

I was thinking of getting a chromebook. Thanks for the help.
You're welcome, I'm glad you found it useful.
I am using a chromebook as my go to device for personal use for two years already and my wife borrows it for her teaching side job. I do have a gaming desktop PC but I don't even have speakers connected, so it's not used for anything but gaming. On the chromebook I browse the web, check my email, watch movies and youtube, do my e-banking, create documents and spreadsheets (in office 365 or google docs) from time to time, light picture editing etc. It fits all my needs for personal computing. I bought it used for 100$ and it is still fast and usable as on day one. I don't worry about viruses and software updates. It just does exactly what I need and it is reliable, has plenty of ports including full size HDMI so my wife also uses it for presentations and lessons. Now, with Google Stadia coming up it will become a serious gaming platform also. The good thing is that in time it has become more productive and useful as it aged, so that is a new concept in the computing space. It is not all to all people, don't get me wrong, but it offers enough for the majority and you should not dismiss it and just go for an Mac or a Windows based PC. The selling point here is that for a 300-500 $ you will have to compromise on other platforms. If you wish to spend a 1000$ on a laptop go with Windows or Apple. The point is that you don't have to, now that we have devices like this...
Predrag Jeremic how long did this take
@@milkgallon2155 I don't comment much, but this was for me the best 100$ spent ever... Just wanted to share some joy :)
Which Chromebook did you buy?
@@tnCEO2023 Dell Chromebook 3120. Of course you have better ones now but the premise is the same , the best value is at the low to middle price point. It's hard to justify a 800 USD Chromebook...
Predrag Jeremic do you have any recommendations on which ones now? The lower to middle end? I am looking to do presentations and connect to projectors sometimes for work
Well presented review video very thorough and I enjoyed how you took the time to explain how well how the devices paired up with the chrome book. You you also did a very good job at talking about the many applications including Lenix which is a big interest to me. Looking forward to additional videos.

Google Stadia will hopefully expand the gaming capability of Chromebooks and make it a more compelling choice for those of us who like to play more demanding games on our laptops.
Good review! Best of luck to your channel.

Hey, just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your video. I also own a chromebook and I think that everything you said was very accurate and you gave the average user the idea of what it is to own a chromebook! Nice job.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that and I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Eevnos of course! Is installing Linux with your method harmful? I’m doing it right now and I’m skeptical about it🥴
I’m almost tempted to buy a Chromebook after watching this video. During my time, I’ve used windows 98, XP, Vista and 7. Hated 10. Also used Mac OS and Amiga Workbench 1.3, 3.1, 3.5 and lastly Linux.
Amiga A1200 don’t it’s terrible can’t do anything with a chrome book
@@juanzarate9211 why? Iam googling/youtubeing shit 95% of the time. In chrome. And usually on my phone, on the couch. I like the idea of having a flip 2in1 chromebook. My current gaming laptop is too clunky to use on the couch, 3 hours of battery life also yikes. I dont even game anymore, I dont even use special programs on my other pc. Maybe over 99% iam just on some website. These chromebooks nowadays look really functional. App store is a big plus. Really tempted to buy 1.
your channel has helped me out a lot thanks yay
Thanks Soo much for the ideas 😁👍
You're welcome, thanks for commenting!
imagine using another browser instead of google in chromebook
you actually can which is weird cuz why buy one if you dont like google
You can use firefox but its laggy
I think Brave may also work.
Or switch to a different browser to search 🔎 with inside the browser. I used duck duck go n it's ok. The searches aren't as good result wise but the privacy is better.
I have the Acer spin 11 chromebook its a great device
Great video and tips 🔥
VideoZeus Thanks for the feedback and I’m glad you enjoyed it!
That was a good and detailed review, many thanks
Ahmad Alsaadi Thanks so much, I really appreciate that.
I'd advise getting a chromebook used from reputable sites like amazon, bestbuy, microcenter, etc it literally halves the price. Chromebooks have a reset feature called "power wash" which wiped the device completely (safe to donate, sell, give to another person). I'd advise to get the 4GB ram versions so it runs smoothly.
Ideally this is for people who mostly surfs the net, social media, youtube, netflix, and other non-power users. I think it's ideal for children and non-tech people since it doesn't get viruses so they can't fubar it. Compared to the price point of the competitions windows laptops/destops and tablets this is just better imho.
all i want for next christmas is one of these lol
Suits my needs perfectly, very capable machine though for a Chromebook, but the fact you can use android apps now is also a massive bonus. Using it as my main computer.

Great Video. Please make a Linux video for Chromebooks. I have enabled it on my Chromebook but not sure what to do next. There are very few You Tube Videos on this topic. You would be Instant Success
Thanks for the suggestion!
I already have a video of how to install Linux apps with the native support here: ruclips.net/video/obwMeK_jNmA/видео.html
I'm also working on another one on how to install a full Linux distro with Crouton.
Do you know if Samsung Pro can load Crouton? I’d be interested in learning Linux.
I may wanna go out and get one of these. Never was interested in chromebooks til now. Thanks
Thanks for checking it out man, I'm really loving this one!

Just turning on and off completes the update and you don't have to worry about virus protection. Mine has 32gb of storage I just use a 128gb slimfit flashdrive for extra storage.
I gotta say... That's a pretty good solution. The storage has been my main problem for getting a Chromebook, thanks for the tip 👍🏽
Thx, didn't know this exists....
This is the best explanatory video about Chrome OS, thanks friend and Brazilian greetings to you !!
Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Greetings back from the USA. 😉
I've had a Chromebook since January. I will never go back to a Windows machine ever, ever again. I wish I'd taken the plunge with one of these 4 years ago. They are simply SUPERB.
Yeah man, for the stuff the average person does on a computer they're fantastic!
That changes my views about chromebooks.
Rachit Khandelwal Excellent!
My dear mom is a Luddite when it comes to technology...
She had on old laptop from 2006 running Vista ( oy vey )
I upgraded the laptop to Windows 7 sometime ago (Puts on Pirate Patch)...anyways over the years it has been running slow as molasses...
I live a fair distance from her now so I can't physically help with any issues that crop up...
I recently purchased an HP Chromebook for her as a gift...
So far so good...she doesn't find it complicated, she likes the speed, and she is able to get the basics done like banking, facebook, email etc..
Another plus is the long battery life...
I could have taken an old laptop and installed a linux distro....but the battery would probably be useless...plus there would be a learning curve for her...
In my case, a Chromebook fit the bill...
Thanks for sharing your story.. this is the perfect scenario for a Chromebook!
I feel bad for your mom vista is very disgusting
Great video, thanks! Very helpful :)
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks for the info. I'm not a chrome fan but I know some people who will be interested in this info. Thanks again!
Thanks a lot, I appreciate you checking it out even though Chromebooks don't interest you!
Can you do a video that can help folks who are new to Linux via crostini learn how to use WINE for running Windows applications on their Chromebook?
Why, there are literally hundreds of videos on the subject. Just search for, how to use Wine. There is no difference from running Wine under a native Linux system or one that is running under a Chroot.
you also get free 100GB good drive when you purchase a chromebook.
You sure do! 😁
don't tell half the story. it is time limited
I get unlimited from school 😂
For 2 years, yes. I found Drive so convenient, I ended up signing up for the $2.99/mo 200GB plan when mine expired. Worth it to me!
erzascralet48 why u need so much space brah
Thank for the info!!
You're welcome!
Lot's of info. Great video!
Thanks, I’m glad you found it useful.
Never had any issues with only having 32GB of storage. All my data either goes to Google Drive or My NAS.
Excellent!
Animal Facts - I agreed with you that 32Gb is quite enough. Heck, my 3 yr old Chromebook has only 16Gb and I've not had problems with running out of storage on that device. But then I got a Chromebook that supports the Linux/Crostini environment and I'm finding that more than 32Gb local storage is necessary to get very far with Linux, especially if you want to install multiple development environments, or the large LibreOffice, Java etc.
I've only got a few Terminal apps install on my machine as far as Linux stuff goes. Now, once they get Linux audio support going, I would like to use Audacity instead of an Android audio recorder, so I may start getting low. But, to be honest, the SSD on my Linux production machine is only 100GB, so I probably won't be too pressed for space as long as I keep data stored off the device.
I haven't tested SD card integration yet. Definitely an option if space starts to be a concern.
Chromebooks are freakin' awesome!! Been using $149 Samsung 303C for years, Just upgraded due to red screen issue. Own two Win 10 pc's, hardly use them, (Chromebook is just so easy and fast all the time.) Still angry with Microsoft for continual changes, updates, the abysmal Win 8. Although thankful they got me to try Chromebook. Thanks-
The red screen issue might be just the ribbon cable that connects it breaking and you might be able to just replace that. Does it work with an external display or just not boot up?
@@pamelahusky1179 Hi. Works fine other than red glare. Seems like it might be the ribbon cable. Tilting screen far back eliminates the red but gives me necks cramps! Red starts along the bottom and shows up randomly on screen. Might look into fixing except if it's like a Lenovo pc I have apart, too intricately jammed together for me to replace the keyboard, likely it will be added to the pile of obsolete pc's I have reminding me of why I despise windows! Repair shops tell me none are worth fixing, like the red screen Chromebook. Very irritated with the way many things are made today and my eyes and fingers don't seem to be able to work together or it's my mind too frustrated to handle intricate matters anymore. Gave up fly fishing and tying flies years ago too! The new Chromebook is super fast, relatively inexpensive and great for shopping online, you tube video watching and attempts at writing, nothing of which ever reaches an end! Plus, when Google was Google, not Alphabet, their outlook on making the internet thru Chromebooks available to everyone for low cost and how everyone could contribute to making the world better for all, still means something. Thank you for the advice now if I can get the enthusiasm to attempt a repair, still, there's part of me that likes having two working Chromebooks. Also I know exactly where by the left hinge to press with my thumb to make the red disappear, for random times! Red appears frequently when the Chromebooks on my lap not so much on a table, especially if left open all the time. Thank you for inspiring me to look into the cable fix though, take care, enjoy life and Chromebooking!
@@kenburt8938 If tilting it eliminates the red on the screen, that's definitely the cable and you might even be able to find one cheap on ebay. I had a monitor that would be green unless the cable to that was on a certain angle so I know what you're dealing with.
