I'm excited to see new ARM based Chromebook Plus models - Snapdragon X Elite/Plus.
This machine is only £250 in the UK. It is exceptional value for money and I don't understand people who complain about it. what more can you ask for at that price? It is 10 times more useful than an iPad for getting things done and it is substantially cheaper. How much are you actually paying for these in Australia or wherever you live?
This is a nice approach. Like a layperson's experience of a new tech; or OS. NGL I am thinking of getting a chromebook just for non-gaming purposes; typing, reading, youtube videos.
Chrome OS is not for me, but i watch for Bindi!
One of your more informative videos bud..nuff said. (And yes do love the channel!!)
I've had chromebook for couple years. Chromebook is the perfect 2nd pc. Use it for streaming music to your chosen speakers, emails, shopping, socials, all your everyday stuff. Wouldnt pay over 500$ aud for one though. Chromebook plus" doesnt make sense to me....for the best use of a chromebook as described above, they dont need an I3 etc
Awesome video fams, keep up the hard work.
Not good repairability + the price are a no go to me.
Bindi Reviews channel coming when?
She's got a pretty crappy work ethic so I'm not sure 😅
I have the Vibe cx34 version with a much better screen and speakers. Decent device. As a graphic designer I'm discovering that through a combination of Android Linux and web apps / browser apps I can do most media stuff. Photoshop online is a treat. It's actually really good. It just has a different UI.
Rather than just a touchscreen, if part of the Chromebook Plus spec included the 2-in-1 form factor, then I can see it being more widely adopted...
But the price just isn't there to justify it. For a limited function device, I would also expect a more limited price point
What's the phone's case called? Looks cool!
It's a grip case by the company Dbrand. They offer many different styles, that one specifically is called Warzone. I've owned a few of their products, definitely worth checking out 👍
@@andyS13 Thanks! Much appreciated!
Having had nothing but low end windows pc s, my media tec powered chromebook is a large step up. I'll suggest that below $500 a chromebook is the way to go. Not only does it work better at the basics than cheap windows, but you get a better screen for the money.
I've been using chromebooks for 7 years now, starting with a Toshiba 13 inch and presntly with a Lenovo 14 inch. Now that Google is giving chrome books 10 years of updates and even extended the eou for my 2 year old it turns out my $250 chromebook is good until 2030. None of my cheap windows machines from the past would hold up more than 3 years.
I'll probably stick with arm based chromebooks as well, after 2 years I still get just over 8 hours of streaming or surfing the net. Try matching that with a typical cheap windows.
Anyway, I can respect gamers and intense pc users not wanting these, but give a little respect as chromebooks are probably the best casual laptop around, definitely for the money.
At that price point it is economically more reasonable to buy a MacBook Air with the new M3 processor and get WAY more for your money.
MacBook Air is double the price of the Chromebook plus.
@@Silver01Son And you never know how long MacBooks are being supported. My 6year old MacBook Pro did not even get Sonoma. Chromebooks are supported for 10 years.
Give them hdmi and usbc in and they're suddenly the ultimate portable monitors
Thanks for giving us a proper review of a Chromebook! One where it actually gets used!
Now bad for a light weight laptop. Good in a pinch if you don’t need a massive and overly powerful piece.
I'm watching it! LOL
Letting you know up front im not going to watch this video, but it wont stop me from commenting.
1000 aud for that specs is mediocre for windows laptop. Let alone a linux.
Windows 98 sound reminds me of Fortnite lol
How dare you 😹
Yeeeeeeees, but no!
I still think Pixelbook Go better than this
Eww Linux!!😂😅 now its even worse than a chrome book.
Also the specs are shit for that $$
i bet you dont even know how to get to uefi setting on your computer
