kids these days love to complain about chromebooks but they don't realize how much they can do with them. So much more than we could on low end pcs in the 90s/2000s
@@DavidDavid-uc9ze lmao what, you're crazy if you think a Chromebook can't do as much as PCs back then or you're really young and weren't around then. I hate these things, but I'm just stating the facts. Plus you can get Linux or Windows on there anyways with some tweaks
I have this exact chromebook and it's an incredible value for the price. Both USB-C outlets are actually full service, so you can pipe HDMI out of either one. The speakers are also astoundingly clear and loud for the price. It also has Linux support built in, so you can play light Linux-native games like Shovel Knight if you want and the battery is about 10 hours fat. Unfortunately the screen is just barely sufficient, but that hasn't stopped it becoming my main office computer considering everything else on offer.
ETA mentions "work from home" at 00:43, and at 00:46 a baby cries in the background. Point made! I know the struggle, having an 11-month baby boy of my own. Great review, best wishes to all out there enduring the pandemic from home and thanks for the great reviews, ETA Prime! :)
The first thing I do when I open a new video of ETA PRIME is click on the like button. I just know that what I will watch will be top quality content that will entertain and enlighten me. That's the level of trust I have on this guy work.
I have a Lenovo Flex 5 with Intel i5 processor, 8GB RAM and 128GB NVMe storage and a Lenovo Duet Chromebook / Tablet with MediaTek Octacore ARM processor and 128GB storage. I typically run MZ64Plus 64 FZ (N64 roms), Magic DosBox(Dos Graphics adventures, Zork Grand Inquisitor, Return t Zork etc.) , GBA.emu (GBA, GBC & GB roms), and OpenMicroWave(OMW) emulators on both. The Flex 5 clearly has the performance edge and is the fastest Chromebook I have owned to date. I use OMW android app to run Elder Scrolls III - Morowind, and offers great graphics performance, but you really need a touch screen for this app to work well, which both these Chromebooks have. Both these Chromebooks will also support Linux apps, but the Intel based Flex 5 works best, since more games are compiled for the Intel Vs ARM processor, but the situation regarding ARM is improving. I also have Steam installed in the Linux container of the Flex 5, which works well for older games. The Duet's one advantage over the Flex 5 is being ARM based, and there are slightly more native Android games that will run on it compared with its Intel based sibling. Unfortunately, neither Chromebook will run Minecraft android version as it blocked for download from the Google Play Store. This is not due to compatibility issues, but just the developer Mojang / Microsoft being difficult, as I have sideloaded the Minecraft android app and it runs fine. The Flex 5 will run the Minecraft Java edition in the Linux container, and this runs well, but you need to configure crostini for mouse pointer lock via chrome://flags. I have never tried RetroArch android, so will give it a go. I know it works well on Windows machines, so hopefully can port across some of the configs to reduce the need for scraping. I feel Lenovo currently offer some of the best performance Vs value Chromebooks compared with other brands. The Flex 5 and Duet are great Chromebooks with this regard, and it looks like the Lenovo Chromebook 3 continues that trend.
because of this video my determination to buy a chromebook has grown even though it was two years ago. thank you for making this video Indonesian greetings
Fun fact: you could use a GameCube adapter and connect it to a Chrome OS AKA Chromebook and play games that way. As long as you have GameCube controllers in an adapter and a freaking mindset of someone who has use Dolphin Emulator for a long time, you'll figure it out. Steps on how to do it Step 1: connect a gamecube adaptar (+controller) to your chrome OS computer. Step 2: go to settings and click Gamecube input Step 3: click gamecube controller 1 and press emulated Step 4: click each individual selection of inputs then match it on the controller If done correctly it should work perfectly as if you were on a gamecube console.
I bought the Lenovo 3 at the regular $169 price 6 months ago. It's been great I just wanted to try ChromeOS. I've used it docked it's a little slow but not bad. I mostly use it to watch RUclips. It's got loud speakers and an OK screen (remember the price). Low end means no fan so it's silent and the battery life for me is in days not hours. I hope you review it.
@@Artemis_WR Well, it's better as long as you can run native 768p. I believe that 1080p is more versatile as you can run older games and ps1 emulators taking advantage of the full 1080p, quake 4 era games and heavier Dreamcast titles at 720p with clean scaling, and finally newer games @540p with a clean 2X factor. That being said, next year it would be cool to see these with a 4 core 8 thread Pentium or an amd equivalent, 8 gigs of 2666mhz ram in dual channel and a gpu that's at least as powerful as the one in a base Xbox One. WOuld need active cooling though.
Hello again eta ;prime really enjoy this video 😄 I have just my lenovo chromebook 3 hope you can give a future episode on installing more games keep up the great work l looking forward to seeing more of your episodes
It's crazy if you think that the x86 processor needs a built-in emulation layer just to run ANY android app, then the gaming app itself uses its own emulation layer to trick the CPU into thinking that it's a game console. So, if I understand it right, for every single key press (command) there has to be two "translations" to the processor, and two "translations" back...and it still performs well :)
@@DigitalIP x86 processors are in another class compared to ARM. It's not even a contest. ARM can gain some ground by very meticulous optimization, but frankly, no one has time for that. These use an extremely low end x86 processor and it leaves even high end ARM cpu's in the dust.
@@rich1051414 That's just inherently not true, due to the smaller die area and thus efficiency gained from having a reduced instruction set, you actually gain speed over cisc architectures like x86. See: Apple A14 or Amazon Graviton2 performance and efficiency compared to similar x86 chips. Especially the latter just utterly destroys the competition, even Zen3 probably believe it or not. The problem is, phone chips target much lower power targets influencing the microarchitecture design, since even if you can save 0.1w of power, then that's a massive gain on these chips. It has nothing to do with them being ARM/RISC chips however.
@@rich1051414 I have multiple phones with ARM processors ranging from the Snapdragon 835 to the 865, and they all play games in Dolphin better than this x86 N4000 or N4020 series Intel processor. It's not nearly as simple as you stated.
Having a hard time with this- I received one of these as a gift, and was trying to use my external hdd to either load roms, or save them to the sdd, and I can’t figure it out how to. Lol. I have retroarch on my jb ps3,4, and iPhone 8plus. Yet, having a lil trouble here, lol.
This is why I question why some people buy emulation machines when most people have junk lying around that can at least emulate old stuff. I considered buying a raspberry pi portable until I remembered that the 2ds can do it all as good. And the best if you can't emulate on a pc, is just buy a wii to homebrew.
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271 it’s what I had lying around, and that’s really my point. I paid like 15$ for an sd card and had a portable emulator comparable to building a raspberry pi portable, minus video out. Most people don’t need to build an emulation station when they have stuff that can handle it, if a chromebook can do it. Some people just enjoy the experience, I got part way through planning my own emulation system, but it just isn’t always practical.
I honestly wish companies would just make a chromebook or a laptop with hdmi in with integrated capture software via windows or chromebook. It would be perfect for consoles and as a portable monitor.
somehow, I feel the design of the lenovo chromebook 3 is like the design of the Playstation 2, it's like a laptop with a classic design or retro vibes, cool!❤️
The time is real. Been looking at a 2in1 chromebook. Curious how they handle emulation. Though the purpose will primarily be document processing and pdf manuals

>Wind Waker is one of the easier Gamecube games to run. >Drops to like 12fps whenever I pan the camera around to show anything farther than 10 feet away.
Yeah, they might not be powerful enough to run Wii or PS2 games, but they actually can run GameCube and PS1 games which is incredible for a budget device
I recently received a i7 6820hq with 32gb ram and 512gb ssd for free that I intend to use as a dedicated emulation laptop. It's nice to see that you can run games directly from sdcard as a full mame distro with chds is just under 1tb. This gives me some ideas, thanks.
It's exactly like my new computer. I would add that PCSX2 doesn't work well enough, having tested Onimusha and Yakuza. Regardless, I've filled it up with games for the PS1 (on RetroArch, not Epsxe), N64, NDS, SNES, GBA, PSP, Dreamcast, Saturn, and DOS of course. It may not be a gaming PC, but it makes me happy regardless.
@@slimeminded7460 Well, being Argentinian, my parents actually used Mercado Libre, which is like Amazon. And it's not exactly the same computer. Mine is an Exo, but is basically the same, and you shouldn't have much of a difference.
Thanks ETA, can't wait for your Black Friday vid! Could this, or a Windows laptop, run BlueStacks? That could be a way to play certain games that aren't on the laptop palystore.

GoldenEye is looking amazingly fast😍 Have to check my wife's Trekstor Primebook P14 with N4200 CPU (have win10 replaced by elementaryOS). Maybe I have to buy a new laptop for her😂
Well damn. I got the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ after watching your videos and saw how great the emulation was on that (longtime Apple user here but I like Android devices too and haven't bought a good Android tablet in a long time). I could've saved about $900 and just got this... 😂😀🤬
Can that/Chromebook cast to a TV, or is it HDMI, only? Also, will it wake, with a P/X button, when connected to a PS3/X-Box 360 controller, via Bluetooth? Also, can you boot a different system, the way you, personally, often use a microSD Linux build, or boot up, from a flash drive - using at least piOS? The last question isn’t so integral to an idea about how to use one - for which one would close the laptop, which would in turn put it to sleep, presumably until it receives an input signal, such as a keyboard or mouse click, or a controller home or other button, while the machine is still closed, which would hopefully work as I’d had my mid-aughts MacBook, which I’d mainly accessed my media server, to play content, but would use this setup idea to minimize the space around which the Chromebook “dock setup” of cables, if necessary, there (i.e., by casting from some other place, nearby. Then, I could also use it as a portable gaming emulator, and etc., for doing quick tasks, or surfing the Web. For $99, there’s got to be a really good way to use such Chromebooks, if for no other reason than being a laptop, with screen (of course), which would seem to be better than an old desktop, a RasPi, or an Android tablet, to also use like an Android tablet, with Play Store access, for much less than a similarly-equipped Android tablet... Thanks so much, for the video. You always have great ideas... 🍻
I just bought the Dell Chromebook 11 for $125 about a few days ago. Its the later model so I get 4gb of ram and the faster processer. It's about the same as the lenovo 3. Should be arriving anytime now.
I have a pi 4 2Gb that I recently slapped retroarch on. Do you recommend running straight retroarch or installing a linux distro and tweaking/overclocking from linux?
hello, my recommendation is that you install a linux distro you are comfortable with, then install retropie, alternativly, retropie have their own version of raspbian that has things preconfigured for retroarch
Just buy 2nd netbook (almost all of it use Intel Atom) and do the restoration with upgrading RAM to the max (usually 2 or 4GB depending on the netbook specs) and changing HDD to SSD. After that install Chrome OS from this channel and voila, the netbook has 2nd life chance. In Indonesia, you can get 2nd netbook starting from IDR 500k depending on the condition and specs.
I have a touchscreen chromebook that can turn into a tablet by swinging the keyboard to the back of the laptop and it’s pretty cool, I’m a kid so I don’t know that much about computers but I still manage to speedrun doom with a ps4 controller lol
To all the people considering getting a Chromebook let me say stay clear from anything with an AMD A series APU. I bought a lenovo chromebook during prime day with an AMD A4 9120C and it was so painfully slow. So be on the lookout and go with any of the Intel variants

search for no intro romset for whatever system you are interested in playing.
Awesome video. Right up my alley.
Question for my daughter who loves gamecube..will it run Mario Party 6, Super Mario Strikers? She has a chromebook. Thanks for sharing.
How do you set up the emulators? That is what I’m having trouble with.
GoldenEye is looking amazingly fast😍 Have to check my wife's Trekstor Primebook P14 with N4200 CPU (have win10 replaced by elementaryOS). Maybe I have to buy a new laptop for her😂
Honey where’s my Chromebook
You: Um...I am playing Goldeneye with it.
@@standingonbusiness1441 💀💀🤣
I'm gonna try on my school chromebook 🤣
how did it go?
After all these videos I think its about time for you to do a Ghosts of Sparta Let's Play
Great Emulation On This !
Well damn. I got the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ after watching your videos and saw how great the emulation was on that (longtime Apple user here but I like Android devices too and haven't bought a good Android tablet in a long time). I could've saved about $900 and just got this... 😂😀🤬
Tab s7 can handle more than that tho
Great video!! Thanks!
Can that/Chromebook cast to a TV, or is it HDMI, only? Also, will it wake, with a P/X button, when connected to a PS3/X-Box 360 controller, via Bluetooth? Also, can you boot a different system, the way you, personally, often use a microSD Linux build, or boot up, from a flash drive - using at least piOS? The last question isn’t so integral to an idea about how to use one - for which one would close the laptop, which would in turn put it to sleep, presumably until it receives an input signal, such as a keyboard or mouse click, or a controller home or other button, while the machine is still closed, which would hopefully work as I’d had my mid-aughts MacBook, which I’d mainly accessed my media server, to play content, but would use this setup idea to minimize the space around which the Chromebook “dock setup” of cables, if necessary, there (i.e., by casting from some other place, nearby. Then, I could also use it as a portable gaming emulator, and etc., for doing quick tasks, or surfing the Web. For $99, there’s got to be a really good way to use such Chromebooks, if for no other reason than being a laptop, with screen (of course), which would seem to be better than an old desktop, a RasPi, or an Android tablet, to also use like an Android tablet, with Play Store access, for much less than a similarly-equipped Android tablet... Thanks so much, for the video. You always have great ideas... 🍻
I just bought the Dell Chromebook 11 for $125 about a few days ago. Its the later model so I get 4gb of ram and the faster processer. It's about the same as the lenovo 3. Should be arriving anytime now.
Would you be able to tell me how long the battery lasts when playing a game?
ETA sir, looking for original GBC and GBA games, would they work? Also does Dolphin have games like Pokémon Red/Blue?
I like playing old arcade games using emulator, Capcom's Arcade games & NeoGeo's Arcade games still the best for myself
Could you use OBS to stream to twitch and still have the same quality gameplay?
Legit just wanna play windwaker so u made my day
I have a pi 4 2Gb that I recently slapped retroarch on. Do you recommend running straight retroarch or installing a linux distro and tweaking/overclocking from linux?
hello, my recommendation is that you install a linux distro you are comfortable with, then install retropie, alternativly, retropie have their own version of raspbian that has things preconfigured for retroarch
Great video! What is this dream cast Game beetween the Marvel capcom game and Dead or Alive please
how and where do i get the games like you have? I want to set this up!! looks like fun
You have to download the roms from places most popular is m.emuparadise.me I think
Just buy 2nd netbook (almost all of it use Intel Atom) and do the restoration with upgrading RAM to the max (usually 2 or 4GB depending on the netbook specs) and changing HDD to SSD. After that install Chrome OS from this channel and voila, the netbook has 2nd life chance.
In Indonesia, you can get 2nd netbook starting from IDR 500k depending on the condition and specs.
I have a touchscreen chromebook that can turn into a tablet by swinging the keyboard to the back of the laptop and it’s pretty cool, I’m a kid so I don’t know that much about computers but I still manage to speedrun doom with a ps4 controller lol
And also the emulators I have been using a lot for videos n stuff is Mupen 64
YOU SAVED MY LIFE
Hello! May I ask what controller is that in the the thumbnail of the video? Is it an 8bitDO?
Thanks a lot. What wireless controller do you recommend for raspberry pi emulation?
Hi, would you still recommend this in 2023? More for basic surfing, emails, reading pdfs and some light excel? Pricing is key..
Hey ETA, did mouse and keyboard controls ever come out for chromebooks?
To all the people considering getting a Chromebook let me say stay clear from anything with an AMD A series APU. I bought a lenovo chromebook during prime day with an AMD A4 9120C and it was so painfully slow.
So be on the lookout and go with any of the Intel variants
This is the same one I have and I say that it is good for schoolwork not too expensive or not too cheap and laggy

Yep RUclips been smoking that
RUclips......
*GIMME SOME OF THAT SHIT YOU'RE SMOKIN'!*
How important is the graphics chip in a notebook for emulation? Or does it all run through the processor?
ETA, you don't prefer the project 64 for Nintendo 64? What is the best : muppen or project?
What does ETA Prime stand for? Love the channel.
