i ve moved from windows to ChromeOS two years ago and never looked back. The OS is a level above the windows buggy mess. Fast, fully secure, fully integrated with my android phone, bug free with seamless upgrages without the need to wait for the software to be installed, truly next level. As for software it runs all my business apps and If I need something realy specialized with the press of a button I can use Linux.
Nah. It really depends on what Chromebook you get. The low end devices are painfully slow. I do agree about the software updates. Those are generally quick.
@@FCisThePunisher Yes. I work in K-12 IT. The old Chromebooks that were purchased at my district 8+ years ago were painfully slow even when they were new. That's generally why a lot of people, especially school age kids dislike Chromebooks. They have a bad experience with them at school where even logging in can take more than a minute, then minutes to load the school login portal.
Top 5 best Chromebook according to me: Acer Chromebook Spin 314 (2023) Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 Chromebook HP Chromebook x2 11 Acer Chromebook Vero 514 Asus Chromebook Plus CX34
Not to play devil's advocate, but Chromebooks are easy to setup and manage from an IT perspective. I work in K-12 IT and we have over 15k Chromebooks. We can very quickly setup and deploy Chromebooks. With Windows devices, it usually would take more than 20 minutes per device to re-image and run all updates and patches. Most of the work students do is web-based so a Chromebook works well in those situations. And plus in the US, we're required to install some sort of content filtering system to comply with E-Rate funding regulations. With Chromebooks, we can quickly install an extension that satisfies that need. And the devices are more locked down so it makes it more difficult for kids to try to watch inappropriate videos in class; yes kids have tried to watch fury pron on their school computer.
Rubbish I ve using both high end windows (surface pro) and high end ChromeOS (pixel book go) and they shit all over the Windows. Fully secure, fast, integrated to my android phone, bug free, I wouldn't go back to a windows laptop even if you were paying me. As for software I run all my business apps easily and if I need something really specialized with the press of one button I have full Linux access.
Wrong. In the hands of someone educated in the land of Linux, you have the full fat Debian repository (plus access to Snap and Flatpak), plus Android, plus the ChromeOS stuff. You literally have three operating platforms on one device. How tf is that bad? These aren't the cheap, locked down nearly useless garbage that schools buy. Of course, all Windows users know is Windows, and think a "real computer" is a gaming PC.
@@underconfident_asmr Most people aren't educated in the land of Linux though. I can personally assure you that most people who use Chromebooks (excluding power users) have literally no idea what Linux is.
@@JJFlores197 I don't know as to what scale that really goes at this point though on the average I tend to agree, but that does not make anything in that guy's original comment valid, not that it made any line of logic in the first place. My best guess is it's someone who was forced to use one of the locked down cheapshat units schools tend to buy, OR someone who was a little like me and never knew what a powerhouse a decent spec'd Chromebook really is until you actually use one. In fact, up until I jumped ship much earlier this year, I always thought they were nothing but low end devices that do nothing but run a Chrome browser and serve even less purpose without an internet connection. Hoo boy was I deadassed wrong 🙂

@@JJFlores197 I agree, some of the low end laptops have painfully slow/old processors. I would always choose something in the 400-600USD range.

I just wish I knew all this before I bought my Acer Aspire 5 which is Windows software 2 years ago. Now I want to get a Chromebook so bad
Do you need to pay for antivirus apps for chrome books?
No
That alone sold me 6 years ago! Never looked back. Now, with all these improvements they are even better!
Not at all.👍🏻

It would've been nice to see a Lenovo vs 3 Acers
I every time use Chromebook. Really good. Thanks for sharing us
informative ❤
Can you even upgrade a Chromebook or are you stuck with what you got forever?
The vast majority of laptop users never upgrade the hardware.
Of course you can upgrade if you have a ChromeOS desktop, its the exact same as with a desktop PC.
Chrombook plus series gets update for 10 years.
HP ELITE 1030 !!!! Great second hand option
I have a Lenovo Flex 5i 13' Intel i3 Core chromebook and I 💙it.
Very nice
Can you recommend a laptop for just paying bills and doing just Google searches? No gaming.
Thank you.
Acer Chromebook plus 514!! 8gb ram 256gb nvme i3 processor!!👍 I got it for Just 234usd
@sree9506 thank you.
The shots of you reading from thr prompt is very uncomfortable
Spin 714 is not light by any means
solid but not too heavy
Handsome man.
No Price! ajor information missing!
Every time I've used a Chromebook, it's been frustratingly slow.
Must have been a bad one. Testet inn a store the higher end and it was super fast
I do not belive anyone who is reading what he might think 😏
god damn that zoom is annoying
Is it just me or chormebooks really can't do anything besides browsing?
same as android phone. and more.
thats what theyre built for
It has Linux so you run a lot of programs.
it's interesting
Why do schools push Chromebooks so hard? They limit students.

anyone who thinks Chromebooks are powerful must never have used a real computer.

Chromebooks are the worst for any kind of creative work.
Why
Writing is creative. Long as you have access to play stor3 take your pick. I don't use Google docs. Microsoft Word and wps, notion etc.
Very nice
