    Chrome OS, for many users, is a completely new computing experience. Along with a new paradigm of computing, cloud-first thinking, and a different user interface than what most people are used to, Chrome OS brings a rather novel concept of simple, approachable access to multiple development and testing channels for those of us who are a bit more curious than others about upcoming features still in development.
    Those channels are the Beta Channel and Developer Channel and though putting your device into a potentially unstable version of its core software sounds a tad scary, you can rest assured that it really isn’t. In fact, because of the way Chrome OS is built from the ground up, moving between these channels is not only simple: it is completely harmless.

    I'm not a daring person so I am staying where I'm at until I either see you folks playing with something I'm sure I will use. My "backup" Chromebook is buggy now so I'm waiting and watching the reviews on newer models released recently. Then I'm hoping for an excellent deal at Thanksgiving on an "older" 2019 HP x360. I am still coveting the Pixelbook, but I'm not planning to buy a two year old device! If you would take another look at the Slate to see if they got the bugs out of it, I could be persuaded to buy it, with stylus and without keyboard. I'm hoping for one of the last detachable tablets though. Since you made the announcement that Google was going to be giving up on tablets, I am now more determined than ever to get one of the last of the Mohicans, since I really prefer the tablet for my use.

    Thanks for this information. I watched this video because i want to know how hard it is to go back to stable, so i got my answer.
    I have a Acer Chromebook 14 and I don't know why i don't get the update on Version 80, I am still on 79. So i thought yesterday to switch to Beta to see version 80. The problem is that this is my only workplace and i am nomad, so i was not sure if i mess more up then i do good. Thank you for teaching me something again!

      The only time I tell people not to use Chrome/Chromium betas are on Windows 10, as something always screws up when there is another Windows update, but on Chrome OS, Chromium OS via Neverware Cloud Ready, Android, and Manjaro Linux I've not had many issues to speak of running beta, now Dev. is another story lol!

      chromebooks are hard to screw up but your apps might be a bit iffy. Dev channel is for devs who want the closest to bleeding edge without using the canary channel

      I've never actually had an issue in Beta that's been bad enough to make me want to move back down. More often than not if something's gone fishy, it's due to being too cavalier with the flags.

    If it's not your main system, and you want to see what's coming then sure try Dev., but if you are using it as a daily driver, Beta is fine.
