My employer issued me some low end Dell Latitude W10 laptop. It's well built and has great battery life and privacy switch for the webcam. I'd imagine running ChromeOS the battery life would be amazing!
tbh it's not really a fair comparison because Chrome OS has way better optimization than Windows. the true statement would be Chrome OS is faster than Windows
they Discontinued the Dell Inspiron C7486 unfortunately. I've been waiting to see what they come out with next for consumers. I use mine every day the thing is a tank. If you can find one, its well worth it.
This is awesome! I like to see more enterprise chromebooks. I hope the battery is just as good or better then the excellent consumer based battery life.
Strange how they don't have a number pad. Love those things now I've got the Acer 715 i5 Touch. When you're on Sheets a lot it makes such a difference.
@Scott Martin Wow, that's a crazy deal. The best price in the UK was £399 for the Pentium Gold version with a hundred off!! £599 for mine with £100 off before the great shortage kicked in.. It has got all the specs, touch, fingerprint, backlighting but main thing for me is i5, screen size and full keyboard. The US seems to get crazy low deals on Chromebooks.. all those Best Buy offers I read about seem just so good.
I'm a developer and am interested in a chromebook like this or the HP c1030. I'll be making heavy use of Crostini. Biggest worry I have is performance. How are the thermals on this? How well does it keep up to large compilation jobs? I know you might not be the best folks to ask this but I'm not sure who else is reviewing these units at the minute...
1300? That's a crazy rip! The HP 360c I have is a very premium device at less than half the cost. Not even all the available ports are worth the extra.
If a I buy the windows version, can I install chrome os on it? (Full with play store, not only flex version). I don't like windows and in my country I just find the 7410 windows version.
Chromebooks can't compete with Windows 10 PC or even last-gen MacOs computers in many ways, but, what they can do, they just do better and smarter! Yet being fussy when it comes to computers, like any self-respecting geek, I admit that the machines that are always on at home are... my smartphone and my chromebook !.. Kitchen, living room, bedroom and even sometimes in the toilets ( lol), the CB is always solicited, and that, even for 5 minutes. In fact, I only turn on my other machines if I am unable to perform a particular task on the CB. However, these moments are ultimately very rare. To conclude, I think that Google is not so far from having found the missing link between personal computing, I mean so the old-fashioned way, and the world of mobility, a world that we all experience every day with smartphones and tablets. The future is really interesting, and Google is in this area, and without doubts, the actor that must be followed more than all the others to understand (or maybe predict) where we are going next decade...
I got a MacBook Air from work and for over a year it served me just well. Got the 7410 Chromebook a couple of days ago and...well...I don't know if you tested a different machine. The touchpad is an abomination. It is highly inaccurate (and I've played with the settings to fix it). It is pure garbage in my eyes. I never thought I'd say this one day but I wish I had my MacBook back.
Why would corporate even use a $1300 chromebook? Last time I used chromebook was when I worked at a local content agency as a content writer, and that was also because it was so cheap and we only used Google Docs anyway. But this thing is expensive.
They buy it in bulk so it’s cheaper. The chrome book is basically a dumb terminal. The future is all cloud apps, Citrix delivered windows apps, or a virtual desktop instance.
Chromebooks above 1000 dollars just dont make sense anymore. But with the Linux beta its starting to look good. But honestly, Chromebooks with renoir Cpu's would make perfect sense since they are impossibly cheaper that Intel's offerings. Will you review the new/first Ryzen Chromebook? Too bad its using Zen+ not Zen 2 cpu
Chromebooks at this price take away their USP, and charm. You can get a XPS, Thinkpad or a Mac for this money. I love my chromebook, HP 14a, plastic, but well made with a good screen and speakers, brilliant keyboard (better than my Mac) and will probably physically outlast its OS expiration date. I use my Mac for 'enterprise' duties.
I don't mean to be rude, but I guess this could be construed that way. If talking around the point were an Olympic sport, you would be a many times gold medal winner. It was over halfway though the review before you even opened one of the laptops. I stuck it out for a while longer, but no actual specs or usage impressions. Maybe there was some real information at the end, but you had lost me by that time. I am not thumbing this down - that would be really rude, as I am not sure what you were intending, but at least with this comment you know why I won't be bothering with this channel again. I gained nothing of use form this!
It's exciting to see Chromebooks transcending their education roots and expanding to both consumers and the enterprise.
I would definitely love to see this reviewer reviewing more tech stuffs. He is such a good presenter.
Thanks to this channel I bought my first chromebook. A Lenovo chromebook flex 5 for university and I can honestly say it has been everything I needed.

Love this channel man
Where all almost there, soon chromebooks will get thr respect they deserve.
Now you can actually get the 8-256 2in1 version for $216 in excellent condition on backmarket
Chromebooks are faster than windows pcs🔋😄. Trust me
tbh it's not really a fair comparison because Chrome OS has way better optimization than Windows. the true statement would be Chrome OS is faster than Windows
And LXDE is faster then Gnome. We all know that lighter shells are faster
@@justjadethings9630 I feel many people just use windows and don't explore anything more..
Actually it's the optimization for Chrome OS is what it really makes it faster!!
What about playing games hmm? Oh right it can’t

Just got the 16GB RAM 512 SSD, i5 touch notebook for $300. What a steal.

@Scott Martin How does the i3 perform?
Looks nice!! But I’m gonna stick with my acre spin 713 😁 that’s way to expensive for me
Awww lost me at the price. Thanks for bringing us info.

Please post the review of lenovo usi pen waiting for it
What happened to the command line series btw I love your podcast
@Chrome unboxed - would you recommend the Dell Latitude 7410 or the 13" HP C1030 Chromebook?
I think it's about time I subscribe 😬
If you had a choice, and since you've reviewed both, Latitude 7410 2-in-1 OR the HP C1030 2-in-1 ?
1300? That's a crazy rip! The HP 360c I have is a very premium device at less than half the cost. Not even all the available ports are worth the extra.
I would love for you to review web developer options... I know you can install linux for filezilla etc can you show this off?
do you guys sell the chromebooks after reviewing them?
Could you do a teardown to show off, what you can replace?
If a I buy the windows version, can I install chrome os on it? (Full with play store, not only flex version). I don't like windows and in my country I just find the 7410 windows version.
Hey guys, is there anyway to run regular chrome os on this device instead of the enterprise edition?
please reply when you can thanks
Cloudready user here.
Are you able to install Windows on this and will it run well?

My dell inspiron Chromebook 14 died on me twice and what made it worst is that it's out of warranty! I'm getting the new ipad air.

Will Dell bring a high end xps 13 Chromebook ??????

can you assign functions to the three empty keys on the top row?
Look at Chromebook great device..
Looking at value proposition, Dell could do better job on price. Similar Options available now.
I don't have a dongle for my Chromebook. I have an HDMI to USB-C cable. They exist.
Imagine paying $1,300 for a Chromebook.
That's coming from a Pixelbook owner.
Thanks everyone for complaining about the price, 1y down the line and I snagged one for $399 lol
Needs to dual boot windows as well
Yes finally
I hope the price doesn't skyrocket up! :
Can anyone tell me whether should I get a lenovo Chromebook Duet for coding and programming on oythin especially? I am a beginner sort of. Thanks👍

Lenovo duet is best. Or samsung galaxy chromebook or hp x360($700) but never this dell
