If you have any questions about Chromebooks, let us know below!
Yah I have a question. Why is there a Lenovo pick when showing the Google pixelbook go haha
It seems like very few of the people who review Chromebooks talk about Crostini/Linux Apps.

@Sulayman Bah It's not complicated, even for an old Chromebook, but especially for a new one. ruclips.net/video/cPJwXcYb76E/видео.html
@Boggy Stefy Chrome OS has an Auto Update policy, you can see how long devices are supported here: support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6220366?hl=en
This is a lower bound, these dates sometimes get revised up.
I use a HP Chromebook 11 and it is exactly what I need. Very durable, smallish, very quick on browser and Google suite. The screen resolution is poor, but that is unimportant. The price is the kicker: $130! Such a great tool.
This was so helpful you have no idea.

Please don’t buy a chrome book you shouldn’t buy a product that one of its main selling points is likely a lie and plus if you just need a good cheap and sort of fast laptop just buy a windows pc a lot of chrome books still use processors made before 2010 and as a result are incredibly slow to run for example my school gives them out to us and they are brand new and still use intel atom which was made in 2008 and they can take a full 4 mins to turn on
Especially when so many sales person persuade you away from chromebook just for your spending more money.
chromebook is made for basic task basic things, u can use them as college but remmeber its limited.
Chromebook can work online but once your dont have intenret, you have limited thing to do.
great video. Well explained without lots of waffle. Good job!
But I like waffles 😞 🧇
I just acquired a MacBook and it was definitely mostly an upgrade from my Acer chromebook but I will say that the chromebook far exceeds when it comes to basic things like loading large documents and playing multiple videos at the same time which my macbook sometimes struggles to do. As a student I think I prefer a chromebook to get the job done, I highly recommend
Yeah
Chromebooks aren't the best for gaming and for editing however it is good for other things like school, RUclips, work, etc. They are (some) reasonably priced anyway.
What MacBook do you have?
@@rheakg this. “acquired” not “bought” makes me think it’s an old hand-me down or used Air (the old kind with the sliver bezels). No modern MacBook or equivalent premium Windows laptop will stutter with multiple videos and documents, and sure as hell not an M1 MacBook which far exceeds your typical Core i5 premium notebook
@@User-cb4jm bro ur so smart, I need some advice, I’m mostly gonna be using my MacBook for school and web surfing and playing the sims 4 should I get the air or pro

The quickest and on points review I've ever watched!
This was a phenomenal review, straight and to the point. Thank you!
Thanks for the video! Any thoughts on what Chromebook to get this holiday season with all the different savings every day? Or even a laptop, depending on if the sale is right? I am having a hard time picking between Asus, Samsung, Acer, Lenovo, and Hp. LOL I dont need to Game on my Laptop, strictly multimedia, etc. Any idea as to what I should be looking for in terms of the best value and "deal". Either way I Thank you for your time and your help!!
I'd say, don't buy Chromebook as your only computer, if you gonna buy it, use it as transportable workstation/media center (for documents, browsing, movies,...), that's the thing it's great at, but realistically speaking it's just tablet, that acts like laptop.
what does that mean. it puts me off. i tried using tablet, found it very frustrating, difficult.
@a commentator he’s right, I can’t do a lot of things on my chrome book because it’s not compatible with documents for school or work related. It’s limited
True, im using my first laptop in a very long time which happens to be a chromebook and it pretty much feels like my android but with a big screen.
I am not sure I agree with you. There are large companies and councils that are entirely run on Chromebooks. Sutton Council in London is an example where they issued 3500 Chromebooks to staff when they switched from Windows to Chrome OS.
You couldn't be more wrong in 2024.
So helpful! Especially when so many sales person persuade you away from chromebook just for your spending more money.
One salesperson said I had to pay for office license every year which is not true - I can easily use google doc instead. Another said I had to learn a new OS. What was he thinking?!
I bought a $229 chromebook and immediately realized that most people don't need Windows and it's disadvantages, let alone the price. Chrome is a new thinking suitable to today's computer needs.
don't trust sales people, get your source from youtube first
@@fearless6947 youtube? get your sources from RUclips? kid you're joking right
@@Iknowyoumadnow well, i found this video informative, although there is still much i don't understand; so i think, carefully chosen, yes there is much useful information on youtube.
yes but this is incredibly watered down, price doesen't need to be that high, most post 2009 laptops are fine. also the chromebook os cant really do what windows and mac can do, maybe it can do basic stuff but more intensive specified computer usage like any game, architecture programs, 3d design in general, programming, modding, shit in general will be way better on a real laptop
Hey thanks for the review. I bought a SONY Windows Laptop refurbished a few years ago and would like to format the HD and Install the Chromebook OS on it? Doable? Or not compatible ?
One of the best reviews on the subject I've seen. Good work!
Thank you! That was so helpful! I'm trying to find a good option for my Mother and was surprised by chromebooks! Now I kind of want one for me!
I'm in University and my primary driver is a chromebook. I'm an environmental studies major and it does what I need to do. Costs me far less and with the access to a virtual remote desktop provided by the university, I have my bases covered

Most students could probably survive with a Chromebook these days, with certain exceptions (courses where you need certain software etc. and would run it locally). The low local storage is a pain and one reason why I probably wouldn't ever get one (alongside wanting and needing to do tasks locally)
@@fetchstixRHD since my last post, I purchased a MacBook air M1 for GIS and remote sensing. I used my Chromebook for the sole purpose of researching scientific articles, writing papers, and lo fi chill on RUclips. It has served it's purpose to it's end
Hi I have a question. I can not tell the difference by looking at the physical device if it is Chromebook or not. I have no idea what my laptop is. I bought it online from Amazon and it was sold in the laptop category but I still have no idea what it is. How do I tell what it is?
Where can you get the Acer 712? Doesn't seem to be stock anywhere
can i work on amazon and order something? is chromebook capable of it ? also can i plug usb amd transfer musics and files from chromebook to my smartphone?
This is the THE [ BEST ] and informative video , I ever watch , very clear , Thank you , Bless you .
You forgot to mention one important thing. Since Chromebooks are based on Linux, they *can* run Linux programs, such as GIMP (A really good alternative for Adobe Photoshop, trust me.), PC games that are compatible with Linux, and more! (Even offline!)
I'm going to get an Acer 713 with 8GB of RAM and an Intel i5 processor to dual boot with Ubuntu. It's $529.00 at Best Buy now and seems like a great deal. Battery life is my main issue with Linux on my old laptop.
@@user-xp4jr1mq8t you don't even need to dual boot it. You can run linux app on Chromebook now.
I found crostini (the tool used to run linux apps on chrome os) very slow compared to running linux natively though
@@user-xp4jr1mq8t Dual-booting on chromebooks are very hard and not worth it due to driver issues. If you want to dual boot, then you're better off getting a cheap windows laptop like Lenovo Flex 5 or Acer Aspire.
sounds like the chromeos is unnecessary extra crap and it could've just been a linux laptop the entire time
Out of the millions of videos about the difference this video actually tells you the difference
THANK YOU!!! I watched 4 videos before finding this one and not one of them left me feeling more knowledgeable than I was before watching it except for yours!! It answered every question I had then some!
This video explained things really well! I love my Chromebook and don't want anything else ever, but can totally see it not working if you have more specific needs.

Like I said before Chromebooks are basicly a big phone with keyboards is basicly a scam. Its a very cheap device and in a couple of months or a year it will turn bad.
how do i locate the android app? i just bought chromebook. and touchpad use. adjusting settings?
Really good explanation, thanks
this was so helpful, thanks!!
Does it run excel spreadsheets as well as Google Docs?
Thanks
I am new to the Chromebook and I find the file management very awkward. I'm used to using file manager and the Chrome book just seems to want me to do something different. Is there a file manager app similar to the one in windows? I like how quick it runs. I just feel like a left handed person in a right handed world with this thing🤔
i use a video downloader to get you tube videos and then transfer them to an external drive will a chromebook do this
I want to use it as secondary computer, while I am travelling. I mostly work on MS Office suite. Will it serve my purpose?

Thank you so much. This was very helpful! :)

Hi.
Do you have a new video talking about the best Chromebook for 2021 or 2022?
Thanks
Great video. I watched about ten before seeing yours. Thanks. I'm a Lil more educated on these chrombooks.
Whatdo you think of using a chrome book to run a light linux? Ive tried to gert use to chrome but Ive used linux almost 25 years. But my 16 year old lap top is fading.
Well done. Nicely presented.

Hello there. This was the first useful RUclips video so thank you.
Have a few things to pick your brain about I'm looking for a laptop/crombook.
Last time I owned anything like this was about 6 years ago getting a smart phone ment I didn't use a laptop so much. But now I like to have less on my phone and have somthing slightly bigger I can pick up on the evenings when kids are in bed or any other alone time I get. Looked in to a tablet and bought a Samsung was vary diserpointed and found out latter that many buy I Pad for a reason there just that good. Problem I have is I have a android phone and like phone and laptop to work tougher also want something light portable and easy so I can carry around if needed. My us is mostly social media and streaming Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime est.... also browsing Internet so was thinking a cromebook do you think this be suitable? Sorry for the extreme long explanation not gold at keeping it short that is just another reason for a laptop a keyboard may be better Hehe have a great day.

Hellovi have a Samsung phone is it compatible with my phone also can I have crave tv ctv? I live in Canada so I see tv on my Samsung tablet can I do that on a chrome laptop?..
I clicked on this because it's less than 5 min long and I'm glad I did, chrome books are a lot more snazzy than I thought.........Decisions decisions mmmmm [thoughtful]
Nah fam, they are shit. My friend has one and it can't even run a exe file.
They are shit
@@29OrchardAvenue right. My parents bought me one for Christmas last year, it’s literally the same as a Android. It sucks
@@29OrchardAvenue yeah also MacBook can't run an exe
@@29OrchardAvenue Because .exe is usually written for windows. They are shit because you need to hack them hardware and firmware to be able to natively install linux or windows. And for windows you still don't have drivers.
They are for people that want a bigger phone.

Hi Thank you for your good videos . I want to use Adobe connection to watch a pre-recorded webinar. Will I able to do this on the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook. Thank you
I'm a teacher that's been doing remote learning with live instruction. My work laptop is a Chromebook while my personal computer is a Dell Inspirion laptop. The Chromebook using google meet with live instruction sucks. It doesn't have enough ram or processor speed to multitask between different activities during live instruction- opening multiple worksheets, typing examples on docs and slides during a presentations, and bouncing between tabs. However, using my Windows laptop during live instruction makes live instruction online a lot easier- it can multitask better, I create content to provide examples for students on the fly during live instruction, and it runs faster underload. If you trying to do real work and not simply word processing or web browsing get a full laptop.
Try to get a windows surface
Keep in mind that not all Chromebooks are the same in the same way that not all Windows machines are the same. The issues you have described relate more to the specs than the operating system, and so your experience on a Chromebook does not necessarily mean that all Chromebooks will deliver the same experience, and likewise for the Windows machine.
what is your chromebook, what is it's ram, if you are using a $300 chromebook do you think a $300 Windows computer is going to do any better, uypgrade your Chromebook get an Acer spin 713 or Pixelbook Go or higher tier Lenova.

do I need virus protection on a chrome book ?
thinking of buying ASUS Flip CM3200FM 12" 2 in 1 Chromebook - MediaTek™ Processor, 64 GB
Thanks! Great video
thanks but Im very confused cause I use andriod apps from google play store and I used to use Windows apps which I need again to make and finish off certain projects
so this is very confusing for me As I like both windows and Android apps as I find them both very useful for different things so its difficult to choose windows or just andriod
if I only choose one how will I know what apps work on it
this is really confusing
I heard windows can run andriod apps but what andriod apps but are they the andriod apps I pacifically use that is the question
I hope one day soon these companies will stop mucking around and just make a computer or laptop of some sort that can do everything from chrome os, Android, Linx, windows, Amazon, mac and what ever else so no one is limited in thier usage or confused
any way thanks for the video
please get back if you have any recommendations
also just add I like using devices in tablet mode and laptop mode
0:32 Zoom does not work well on Chromebooks. Some features like whiteboard or virtual background aren't available & it frequently crashes.

One question: I have an Acer 317 Chromebook and want to connect it to an optical drive (dvd) and watch movies on the Chromebook using the VLC app. I have the Apple superdrive which I want to use as my optical drive, but I am not able to get the connection between the superdrive and the Chromebook that is needed to watch dvds. How can I best solve this problem?
I don't believe there's a solution. There's no way to play DVD movies on VLC for ChromeOS.

Looking for cheap, good display (1080 or better) for culling/reviewing photos and videos while traveling. Currently considering Lenovo Duet for about $250, got any better ideas? Also, which software would be best for this- not really intending to edit photos or videos, do that when get home, but just triage I think you might call it, culling redundant or bad photos and videos. Thanks for any advice, and for this good basic review.
I probably should have said "what image librarying software" would be good for chromebook?
Thanks very helpful. I am about to migrate from a Dell Windows 10 laptop to the Lenovo Flex 5.
So your using a chromebook?
Question my girls are about to start 7th grade they were using school Chromebooks (Basic slow processor) while learning from home. I was wondering should I get them a good windows laptop or good Chromebook because I have a old Toshiba laptop and I can bring up all the applications on it (belive also Google slides, docs, etc. and it's better for them to do photo editing they're little videos
Chromebooks are a pretty good choice because I less it's being used to make personalized videos as in editing a movie or so on. It should be good
Thank you stuck between buying chrome book or updating laptop 2010.???
I recently got a Lenovo Flex 5 it's great! I kept my Windows Laptop but only b/c it can run iTunes. Otherwise everything I need or want to do I can do on the chromebook and the battery life is way better.

NO god is good.
Which do you recommended, Lenovo C340-11 or the lenovo S340-14 touch?
Sidenote. Lenevo is the only one releasing chromebooks here in my 3rd world country. This machines are good for online education, and there cheap, great during this pandemic.
If you value larger screens, then get the S340-14. However, if you like newer models, and you do not mind a smaller 11.6" screen. then go for the C340-11.

My 12yr old son will be entering 7th grade and was looking to get him a laptop. He's been using a school provided chromebook for working remote. He does have some games that he likes to play on his laptop, but nothing extensive as of right now. Based off your great reviews on the various laptops, what would you say you would recommend?
If your son has even a little bit of experience with PCs, getting him a Chromebook would be the same as buying a top chef a knife from the Dollar Store. Just steer clear of Chormebooks.
If I buy a used 2015 Chromebook on ebay, will I be able to update it to the current version of Chrome OS? Also will I be able to use Android apps on a 2015 Chromebook?
updates tend to be up to 5 years, so I wouldn't buy a used chromebook..I found one I love for just $329 new...have had it for over a year now and love it. Asus C425 clamshell, I also like the Acer chromebook 314, Intel Celeron N4000, 14" Full HD Display, 4GB LPDDR4, 64GB eMMC, Gigabit WiFi,
just $279 now on amazon. Has 64g storage but you can add 128g SD card. They last 5 years so it's a great deal and those two are better models than others I've had in the past.
do research with videos, etc when you see specs you like. The two I mentioned I love both.
Great explanation
The main issue I have with school issued chromebooks is that I use Firefox, and they blocked that browser, and I wouldn't be able to put my passwords onto there, and it doesn't run the photo editing apps that I would need. I'd say the better option would be an ipad air or pro with a keyboard. It can run more apps, it's just you can't run 3rd party apps. Windows is the best option, but the laptop I use is big and heavy, and has a 1.5-2h battery, so I resort to leaving it plugged in(Yes, it's a gaming laptop)
Can you download oculus app on it?
How are the chromebooks for streaming? I mostly browse, watch youtube, upload pics, store screenshots, simple zoom meets and stream video.
Depends on what you actually want to stream, your chromebook specs and your internet.
I'll just assume you wanna steam Chrome. If you only have 4GB of RAM I would say that your stream would likely be pretty crappy. 8GB+ of RAM should be ok, and you can just check how fast your own internet is. I would have to say 30Mbps+ would be ok. You could also use ethernet if you want a faster connection.
@@water8097 Awesome! Thank you for the response, I'll look into your suggestions. By streaming, I only meant free TV via their stations's apps, currently horribly sluggish on my old tablet. As well plenty of live stream viewing from YT but I find that works well. Had a windows laptop, but is in the shop forever waiting on parts....

No mention of one of Chromebooks most powerful features? With the Linux Beta container, you can run a tonne of Linux applications and development tools a lot of people are already familiar with. Linux Beta is a transformational feature for many users.
is it possible to run linux apps on the arm based chromebooks? I getting a chromeboom ( fot office and wev surfing), but Icant decide if I should go with low end intel/amd chromebooks or the arm ones)
@@rafiy7150 I've only tried Linux Beta on an Intel based Chromebook. FWIW, my wife has a cheap AMD based Chromebook and it is rather slow compared to my Core i3 one.
should work as linux on arm is quite good (90% of programms work on arm) compared to windows on arm which is crap.
@@SimonBauer7 I buy Intel Chromebooks, my experience with ARM ones wasn't as good.
Is this for technical writing!??
I saw on another YT video a lot of complaints about Chrome Books being under powered. I also noticed that the largest disk space I could see was 128GB, the size of one of my memory sticks. Also on the spec, Chrome books had 4MB RAM compared to my Windows laptop of 8MB RAM. Does that mean that they are under powered, or am I missing something?
Windows requires 8gb to run comfortably because it is a memory/hardware hog. The extra RAM won't do much for you. All the extra software you will need to rent or buy to make a Windows laptop useful, should be factored in as well.
Get a Chromebook with multiple USB C ports and use flash drives to expand your storage. I have 256 Gb USB C flash drives I bought for US$26.
Most Chromebooks are cheap and basic. I wouldn't use them as a main computer but for light portable usage they are good, especially the 2-in--1 tablet/keyboard combos. Don't get an expensive Chromebook, they don't make sense because the software doesn't match the price.
@@peterbreis5407 The flash drives here in the UK use the normal style USB plug, not USB C. This is why I dislike Mac books, as they got rid of the normal USB ports in favour of USB C and then charge a lot for adaptors.

I HATED MY CHROMEBOOK I BET A YOU WERE TESTING A CHROMEBOOK WITH WINDOWS 92 OR 95 WHEN WINDOWS 10 OR 0PRO IS MUCH MUCH BETTER
well both of those are to be expected but you can buy a new m.2 drive for it if its an Acer C720 and then put windows on it it works amazing
Get a windows laptop or Mac u won’t regret
I have a Windows Laptop that needs a new battery, but now that I've had my laptop for many years, the computer can't be fixed and there are no more batteries that can work for the machine. I don't know what to do. If I should buy a Chromebook or buy another Windows Laptop.
True with the 4gb of ram on the $500 windows laptop but depending what laptop it you can upgrade the ram to a larger amount based on what laptop you have

Yep
Yes, Best Buy right now is advertising a budget but good performance Lenovo Yoga C740 14 inch screen with an i5 core multi processor (10th gen), 8 GB RAM, and 216 GB hard drive for only $550, which is $100 less than the Google Pixelbook Go recommended here.

Just buy an windows laptop, not a chromebook with an absurd price

Thank you for sharing.
So can Chromebook open Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc? I never use Chromebook before, but I always use Microsoft Office as well.
There is no ChromeOS version of the MS Office suite. You can run the Android apps of MS Office or use the web-based version. These are typically a bit limited than the standard desktop versions but should be good enough for most typical use cases.
