Chrome OS Flex is shit. I tried to install it on my computer which had 2 SSDs and 2 HDDs. On one of my HDDs I had important files like photos and videos. When I started to install it, he didn't ask me in which partition I want to install it, but just installed it on HDD with the important information and deleted everything. Useless OS.
Hi. Thanks for your comment. That's one thing (IMPORTANT) that I forgot to say in the video. That Flex is unpredictable when it come to installing.. like u said.. it doesn't ask where to be installed. Sorry that this happened to you. I will pin your comment.. hopefully many ppl will see it.
@@TheArtmann Fortunately, I was able to recover 98% of my lost information such as photos and videos. I restored everything with the help of Lazesoft Recovery Suite.
Great. Is this software free? I had an issue with list data a while ago.. I made a video about it.. and I recovered everything with Recuva.. well almost everything -5 files out of 4000+:)
@@TheArtmann The program is not free, but I have a pirate license that makes it paid. You have a great chance to recover your files if you deleted them recently and did not save anything to HDD. This way I recovered 80GB of deleted files. If they were deleted a long time ago and you have recorded information many times, your chances of recovery are small.
Good point! I think the most benefit i can notice in CrOS Flex is the performance and good compatibility. But, while it don't have Android apps support, i'll keep a brunch installation for dual boot. Hope that Google bring Android to Flex on the future.
totaly agree with u , i am a follower and fan of cloudready/chromeos etc since years ago and was dissapointed by the lack of playstore and when flex was announced i got hyped again but felt down again when no playstore support was announced i duno y google dont realzie how a killer feature playstore will be cheers
I installed Chrome OS Flex on an old laptop with Intel i3-330M, and it runs okay. Still, I ditched Chrome OS Flex since I can't install apps using Google Playstore. Waiting for Google to give Playstore access on Chrome OS Flex.
Came here just looking into the differences between flex/vanilla. Subscribed to your channel exactly for having a personal opinion! Keep having an opinion my friend!
My 2 cents - I just installed Flex on Intel Core 2 Duo + 4GB RAM + SSD, works fine, i just needed to replace the old wifi card (intermittent connection issues )
Hi. This is a tricky question because I don't use online banking under any circumstances. Not on chrome, not on windows not on phone or anything. You may find it weird but that's me. For Amazon, Netflix and play store I use vouchers:) So I can't really answer to that question. Or I can answer it by saying that I don't trust my banking data on anything with a wifi connection 😉

For older devices and those with 4GB or less of RAM, Chrome Flex is, in my opinion, noticeably faster. I tested it on a Lenovo IdeaPad 1 with a 4GB RAM and an N4020 CPU.

With regular Chrome OS, I only have 2.2GB of RAM available at idle; with Flex, I have 3.2GB. (out of 4gb ram) Additionally, I saw that the CPU in Flex was constantly on the low stable side, but with Chrome OS, there were more CPU spikes. Thus, if you like Android, install Chrome OS; however, if, like me, you have a slow laptop and want it to run as quickly as possible, utilize the Chrome OS Flex.
very informative as always but i am really waiting for a mac os(hackintosh) installation guide from the person who makes tutorials that actually work because most of the other ones just are too complicated or dont work in general
