- We worked on this piece for a 3rd party a few months back in secret - we were also given permission to make our own version and release it to all of you. I wanted to take the general audience of consumers, education specialists, and business people and explain why I think more people, schools, and businesses should be going Chrome - and how useful Chromebooks TRULY are. I wanted to dispel a lot of Chromebook myths, and share some new facts with all of you seeking the truth about Chromebooks!

This would be the ultimate chromebook advertisement.
Imagine me playing air guitar in response to this comment!
Sapphire Destiny koo loo
I agree. Unfortunately many tv comercials use a similar type of background sound (not really music).
Why am I responding to this topic? It is not to denegrate Mark's otherwise outstanding presentation.
I wanted to express my regret and utter frustration that I wasn't able to listen to his whole presentation. The high volume level of the background noise beginning 20 sconds into the presntation was to me, very annoying and distracting. It was hard to hear what he was saying. There was no reason for the background sound to compete with or dominate his voice. Regrettably I had to stop watching the video.
Mark has exceptional speaking skills and seems to be a very good teacher, on screen personality and promoter. It is just my personal opinion that I would have enjoyed listening to his whole presentation if there was minimal or no background sound at all.
This very good video is an example of what I am tqlking about. ruclips.net/video/QxkWS-mkUfE/видео.html
A lower background sound level would at least have made it possible for me to comfortably listen to the whole disertation.
Literally
So for someone new to the world of Chromebook, this video was very helpful and I love your personality...on behalf of all the non technical population, thank you for the in depth review.
Hey, it's my pleasure! Thanks for reaching out. If you ever have questions, I'd be happy to try and answer them!
More of these videos! So fun to watch the evolution of your content styles!! You're on your way to making viral content soon. More power bruv.
Thank you so much Vaughn! Truly appreciate the love and support!

What does everyone use to edit GoPro video with on their Chromebook? I have a Samsung Chromebook 3. I struggle to find a good application to do this on a Chromebook?
this guy is so enthusiastic I love it
For me it was: being light - noise free - start time...
Dude! I stumbled upon your channel as a suggestion on my RUclips feed once I opened up the app and with just watching this video, I immediately subscribed and turned on notifications for your channel! You are the second Chromebook enthusiast other than Chrome Unboxed (which I have been following already for months now), that I have seen here on RUclips! I have had the Chromebook Plus since like around August or so and I love it SO much that I am SO glad that I sold my HP Pavilion x360 (4GB version)! Anywho, I really like your humor and your knowledge! Keep up the great work, man!
Well thank you so much for the kind words. I'm really glad more people are finding us!!! The Plus has been a pretty solid machine for me, keyboard aside, and I'm glad it's gotten so many people using Chromebooks!
I’m curious, if someone sends you a compressed file like .zip or .rar, can you open extract it in chrome os?
#5: The person who works at home at a job that does not require power functions such as graphics editing.....just basic office tasks like word processing, spreadsheet management, and emailing. That's my situation and my Chromebook Plus is the only computer I have in my home office.
That's almost the exact set up I had to put myself through college, Rich!!! Glad to hear it works out!
Can ya print from it as a WUSIWUG?
I'm not really sure how you're asking that - pardon my ignorance. You do mean that as a What you see is what you get, right? Are you meaning it like plug and play?
Promevo sorry, it was unclear. As a home business, I have an ipad. And its almost impossible to print. I need a machine that is very laptop like, with out the laptop. Something that i can use in the field, access the database, come home and print invoices...the iPod is not good for this.
Oh, I think you'd enjoy this. They offer cloud printing capabilities so you can print on the go, as well as simple USB plug and play printing as well. I hope this helps!
"I'll take my inability to hear your answers as a No." LOL!
Hahaha, glad you enjoyed! This originally was part of a Google piece for retail sales people that played in a few special sponsored movie screenings - but I figured the joke played ok on RUclips too! :D
I really love the way you make your videos! Usually I skip through most videos explaining things I want to hear but I actually watch your videos all the way till the end! Really unique way of keeping viewers interested. ★★★★★
Thanks so much!
Does chromebook support to do download linux and can we do all progrmng codes like R, Python on chromebook?or we have to do it online?!
Notebooks should be marketed as OS agnostic; let the buyer decide the OS: Windows or Chrome OS.
Or Linux. Chrome OS is just a very watered down Linux distro that is a waste of everyone's time to be honest.
@@LUCKO2022 Chrome OS is so much easier to use than Linux. And it supports Android apps out of the box.
The average computer user doesn't want to spend their time entering cryptic console commands to be able to do anything on their computer.
Linux is for computer geeks to be honest. This is precisely why no mainstream consumer computers are sold with Linux preinstalled.
Just discovered your channel dude. Very informative and entertaining... Really appreciate the amount of effort you put into creating this. Subbed!
That's the crispiest thing I wanted to hear today! I am so sorry your comment got lost in the shuffle - I wanted to make sure I thanked you for your kind words. Hopefully you enjoy our future content too!!!
The thing I hate about it are the ridiculous advertisements. "Switch to Chromebook so you can watch Netflix offline." um... you can do that on literally any device.
I just subbed... I am so happy that I finally found a chromebook enthusiast because Chromebooks are so much more affordable... I just purchased a refurbished Lenova ThinkPad 11e for 50 bucks on Amazon... I hope I'm not gonna regret it but for 50 bucks, I couldn't pass it up... I also Love Your Personality... Thank You for This video...
man thats an easy sub for me - love the enthusiasm and great information. really sold me on getting a chromebook
Thanks for your for the info about chromebooks ! I just went on line and ordered, which will be my first chromebook and I'm excited can't wait🥰
I hope you love it!!!
Can I running the MT4 Mobile 4 Android from Google Play into the Laptop with OS: Chromebook ?
Are you interested in testing it on a specific Chromebook model?
My chronebook is slow. I put a FisMeStick into a drive and it has helped. But not completely. This is my first chromebook. SAMSUNG something. I don't know the model. But it is second hand. If it has built in protection, what else can I do?
I've moved onto a mix of Android phone & tablet, Windows 10 tablet & laptop with other OS using virtualisation on Windows 10 and an old Windows XP netbook, I also sometimes use Linux, I've never used a Chromebook, but see that they are more flexible than they used to be.
I absolutely love this video great job. Just picked up another Chromebook two weeks ago. The 11.6 Samsung Chromebook 3 (4 gigs of ram 32 gigs of storage) love it.
That's a solid pick up! At first, I read your name as Ron Howard, and I was like 'WOW! Ron Howard watches our RUclips channel, amazing!' but now that I realize it says 'Royal Howard,' I actually like that a lot better.
Promevo LOL, that's funny. My brother's name is actually Rance Howard the same name as Ron Howard's father who just passed. Close enough I guess.
Are you sure you aren't actually Ron Howard then? Hahaha!
wow, nice specs, can't wait to use my laptop that has less space than a phone
Want to know something cool... you can download Pheonix Os on a windows computer and have an even faster experience then a chromebook and your also not limited on what you can download, pheonix os is just an android os.
Very informational. Great sense of humor. And answered all my questions with this and your other videos... Especially the Asus Vs Samsung Pro video.
Yesterday, I bought an Acer Chromebook 15 cb3-532-c47c for $200, & some people say it was an OK deal, & others say it was a rip off. It was manufactured September 29, 2018. Please help me. Was I really ripped off? It functions like a tablet, but looks like a laptop.
very creative , i didn't enjoy your videos at first but now its spectacular. hopefully your future has changed and you dont get bullied anymore
Hey there! Thank you so much for your kind words! Thankfully, life is great :D
I've been considering buying a Chromebook for a while now, and this video sealed the deal for me! Thank you for all the info! :D
Thanks so much - our pleasure to provide this. I hope you love your Chromebook, let me know if I can help with it at all!
I just need a basic laptop so I guess a chromebook is perfect for me. I have a Windows 10 Desktop that's really slow and such, I'm just beginning for a faster computer such as a chromebook lol. Also I had a question, so with that 100gb storage thing can you say download offline music from apps like Spotify to the cloud or would that require a microSD card for expandable local storage?
Is asus c214 good enough for yo-pro ?
Great post! I too am a huge Chromebook fan. Previously, Windows and Linux....
In the words of John McClane, "Welcome to the party, pal!"
i like the head turn transition 😂 very 2019.
Totally my favorite part😂😂
@@TheFeliceSkye hahaha thanks everyone - I'm glad I was ahead of the curve ;)
Is getting a used chromebook recommended?
Will Chrome OS work like mac OS with Hand Off such as messages, calls and gmail?
Mark, the vids keep getting better and better. Keep up the good work.
Gabriel, I truly appreciate the kind words - thank you as well (and the rest of the Chrome Unboxed fam) for inspiring us to get involved in the world of Chrome!!!
Thank you so much for this video.This not only taught me more about chromebooks but made me more confident in them.(Well,I had to be to purchase one)
Anyway,thanks for the info and I gave you a big thumbs up 👍
Thank you so much for the kind words! If you EVER have any questions - please feel free to reach out to me here and i'd be happy to help you!!!
Thats great yo hear Claire, alot of people seitch to chrome or dont use computers/ windows and mac because they really dont know where to start, chromebooks are like are everyday phone, easy and simple.
Hey I have a question, If i download minecraft on my chromebook will i be able to use it with the keyboard?
Only if you can beat us in Fortnite.
Can u install corel draw on a chromebook?
Great video!!!Do u think I could use something like the Pixelbook for making comics and digital art??
I think that with the right stylus and app, they'd be a great solution - however, I've talked for almost a year now about trying to dive deep into the artistic capabilities of the devices, but just haven't been able to make it work out scheduling-wise.
That said, the Pixelbook is more than powerful enough to handle pretty much every Android app we tested.
Promevo Thanks!!!Keep making amazing videos!!!
This guy is just a bulked up version of Ryan Reynolds! 👍🤣
I like you already!
Should I go with an iPhone X and a used MacBook... or Samsung Note 8 with the Chromebook Plus?? Which combo would you guys get?
Mark. I bought the Asus c302 chromebook and at first use I fell in love. But literally the second day I had it it would restart by itself and I would lose my progress on office 365 word app. Speakers would crackle on mute and I bought a USB type c to hdmi adapter and did not work. Also further inspecting it I saw that the left side of the keyboard was risen slightly. I was very disoriented with all these flaws. I had to return it.. really thinking on going back to windows. Please I need your advice. What should I do??
Hey there Einer - it sounds like that was just a bad unit you got there. Truly sorry to hear. Did you try contacting ASUS or the original point of purchase? I would have recommended trying to exchange it for a working model as those sound like flaws in a specific device and aren't indicative of my experience here (I've still got mine in near perfect order). Are you outside of your return period?
@@Promevo hey mark. Thnx for replying so fast. I have returned it already. Waiting for full refund since they said they dont do exchanges. I would have to purchase it again. I still want to buy Asus but leaning towards windows. Do you think I should give the c302 flip another shot?? Or would you recomend something else?
Well, ASUS is about to put out a refresh to the C302 called the C434 - however, I might also direct you towards some of Acer's line too - the Spin 13 is one of the best items on the market right now. That said, if you have specific Windows needs (like certain applications that need to be installed), then that MAY be a better option, of course. Happy to help guide you on the Chrome journey though!
@@Promevo thnx Mark. I feel I should give chromebook another shot. Will check out the Acer.... thnx again. Great Chanel by the way. 👍👍
Try Acer. That's what I'm on now, and there are 4 of them in our house.
The way your presented this was amazing! Great work!
Thank you so much Scott!
Wish I could afford a Pixelbook, but I am very happy with my Asus C302 Flip, very fast and powerful, great screen! Thanks for the Video!
Chris, I don't think you're missing out on much - the C302 is a really powerful workhorse that grew on me over the course of the year!
You are spot on Mark. It really is a beast, especially compared to my last chromebook, the Acer R11(which was a fine device). The ASUS blows it out of the water. Thanks again for the videos, looking forward to watching more of them. You have a subscriber!
mine is the samsung chromebook plus
I was torn between the samsung and the asus, decided that I wanted the intel processor instead of the ARM processor. didn't want to spend 550 to get the samsung pro. Love the screen on the Samsung. How do you find the performance on the plus?
Got both, myself, and I can also say you're not missing out on much! There are some aspects where I love my C302 more! Both are phenomenal choices though.
I own a Traditional Gamestore, we do tons of MTG tournaments and boardgames, Warhammer 40k etc. But I want to free up my Stores PC for a Chromebook that would be a dedicated station for Customers to do price checking, and look up decklists etc. I don't want to spend more than $200.00 on it. Which chromebook would you recommend? I am currently looking at the Samsung Chromebook 3, which looks like 187 on Amazon, but I don't know anything about chromebook really.
What would you recommend for something with a super long battery life, and that is durable for heavy internet use?
Where can I go to purchase one or can I purchase one online?
Amazon.com
I hate how much I enjoyed this.
It was really corny and fun. Well done, dude.
Thanks Vik! Google had asked us to produce this for a retail demonstration - then let us release our own cut with some minor edits (and throw in a few Promevo references) and this is what we got. Would love to do something like this again!
@@Promevo So you aren't a you tuber for Chromebook channel?
Yes...that's almost exactly what I just said.
Hey Mark, what ever happened with the Acer Chromebook 11 C771t with an i5, 8 GB of ram and 64 GB of storage for $520??? Why has no one reviewed it???
My Acer guy has been saying we'd get one for a while - I've been debating just buying one!
That’s more than an iPad wow
What was that bluetooth speaker? I m looking for one for my Asus C302 Flip
I believe in this video, we only show the Google Home, which does let you play music through it - but isn't actually a bluetooth device, and requires wifi in order to operate properly. If you believe this answer is incorrect, respond with a time code so I can find the clip and make sure I answered properly.
If you're ultimately just asking for a personal reference for a bluetooth speaker, I have had a "Big Jambox" from Jawbone for the last 5-6 years and it's been pretty wonderful. The sound quality over all is pretty good for it, it's incredibly loud, and years later still holds a great charge.
Sadly, after I wrote this, Google tells me that the Big Jambox has been discontinued. I might tell you to check out Anker's product line depending on what your needs are.
Nice Ad dude. Google should be grateful! Free advertising for their Chromebooks. Now I'm getting one tomorrow! Thanks
Good information, great organization, great scripting, and fabulous editing. A very fine, professional job.
Hey Rusk, thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words. Please let me know what kind of things you'd like to see us cover on our channel in the future!
Very informative video. I recently bought the Acer Chromebook 14 (Gold) as I just wanted to use a laptop for basic browsing etc. However, I am using it more and more for producing spreadsheets and presentations. I have been very impressed so far.
It's a solid device for sure! I loved that gold color too, wish we'd get more 'special color' Chromebooks. Is now an appropriate time for me to gush about how much I love 2001: A Space Odyssey? I saw your profile image...
Yo, you cant just say you wanted a labtop just for browsing, how about all those steam games your missing out on and the new games like Apex and etc...
Can you connect your iPhone with the chromebook thro Bluetooth?
How do you mean?
hey how did u download minecraft on a chromebook!!! please answer
Love the energy of this video, and thanks so much for the info! I have been doing a ton of research into making my first leap away from Mac and videos like this are making me feel so much more secure about switching to a Chromebook. Thanks! :D
I know we're a little biased obviously, but I was a Chromebook convert well before I came to work for Promevo!
What about opening PDF files, Emailing docs from google drive, and printer support ?
Hey Jim! We actually cover the printer support in this video - you have a few options. You can print through Google's Cloud Print service wirelessly or, you can connect via USB to printers to print as well.
Emailing docs from Google Drive is really easy. If you just want to share it to others for collaboration, you simply click the share button in the upper right hand corner, give their email address (or if you just want to send a link to more people, click the enable link sharing button) and you're all set. However, if you want to actually export a file, go to the File menu in the document you'd like to export, and click 'download as' - it'll give you options for what kind of file you'd like to create there.
Drive also has PDF support, so it can open those PDFs no problem. Hope this helps.
um.i just got mine and im wondering if its going to take long to do my on line school swork
yes you r fine
I would guess that it would only take as long as you would take to complete your school work!
You probably already figured it out, but yes, yes, and yes. Printer needs to be newer, Google Cloud Print. I have 3 Brother printers and a Samsung that are GC and print great.
Can I use wix web site developer on Chromebook? Are Chromebook is compatible for wix web designing?
I'd have to test that out!
What Chromebooks currently come with a stylus? .....and which do you recommend out of those? Always been a Windows user but I currently have a Dell 3180 that I picked up for very little. Love it and looking to move up but don't want to spend as much as a Pixel cost. Btw, I bought my mom a Toshiba chromebook about 3 years ago because she constantly got viruses in Windows and she loves it. The backlit keyboard was great on those!
I'd probably point you towards the Acer Spin 11 if you're looking for a budget model - otherwise, the Samsung Chromebook Plus has one too! The Acer's model is much more like a traditional pencil, where as the Samsung's is much thinner and reminiscent of what they might make for their Note phones. Hope this helps!
I'm actually thinking about buying HP Chromebook 14 or Samsung Chromebook DualCore, and now it looks like i have no option :D
Great and funny video, made me order my first Chromebook, can't wait for it
Aw thanks so much! I was just sitting in the background reading analytics on our videos and was like "I can't believe this is still getting so much traction two years later." Thanks for the support - hope you love your Chromebook!
I love this guy, i was really confused about chromebooks, i was thinking like "Do I really need it, or better to buy something in MacOs or Windows"
Now i sure that it's good choice for me, thank you!! Like and subscribe!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I think you'll be surprised at just how functional Chromebooks have become!
I just bought this one "Samsung Chromebook Plus V2, 2-in-1, Intel Core m3, 4GB RAM, 128GB"....I freaking love it...It's amazing
I just got one, it’s still in the box. Gunna try and set it up tonight, wish me luck I,m not a technical person. I still bow down when I see fire.
I was a bit skeptical at first now I don't even use my laptop that much...
Right!?
Great video. I am at 75% using Chromebooks. I have a Asus c302, Samsung Chromebook plus and Acer r11. Still have my Google cr48. Just still dependent on windows to a certain point work related. For my personal use is mostly Chromebooks. My next purchase will be a pixelbook sometime next year.
I totally know what you mean Ralph - My team and I still have to use PCs and Macs to create all our content for the RUclips channel, but have gone Chrome everywhere else!
I still have a windows machine I use too, for the occasional bit of software I just can't seem to get elsewhere, and I suppose for gaming, but that's something I am gradually using my Chromebook more and more for, right along with everything else, because--
Have you thought about trying out a linux distro on your chromebook? Something simple like Ubuntu or Debian, perhaps?
This vid helps me a lot wile I am deciding should buy a laptop or a chromebook
Can a Chromebook connected to hard disc
"I'm using my SERIOUS voice"
Me: I see no difference??....
😂😂😅😅
Glad you were in on the joke! ;)
That's why he had to clarify hahahaha.
You convinced me! Good job, good humor.
Thanks so much for the kind words!!! Hope you enjoyed the piece - and your new Chromebook!
I have been using iPad Pro 10.5” with Logitech keyboard and Apple Pencil. I can’t believe that i accomplish more on this device and only very few instances I go to my PC laptop. Now, I am wondering if it is feasible to switch completely to chromebook. At work I use google productivity suites (doc, sheet and slides) but some of the features of MS Office Excel is not there in sheets. But I think there are ways to over come that by subscribing to MS office 365. I am just confused if i should ditch my iPad Pro and go for chromebook
Acer C201...does it do Google Store apps?
If you guys want a good premium chromebook without paying for it look at the HP chromebook x2. HP Chromebook x360 14. Plenty of good options though.
I dont think you can get a free chromebook unless its handed down to you from someone in your family or you just getting scammed online by giving some random person your information on where you live and sometimes credit info, please dont trust any site that says they can give you a chromebook for free.
What's the limitations on external monitors? That and apps like QuickBooks are what is stopping me from totally converting over. Love the videos and your enthusiasm. To your point I believe these are the future as well.
Thank you so much for the kind words Brent. Currently, you can do 2 external monitors on Chrome - I hear rumors they want to push to support up to 4, but I would definitely consider those unsubstantiated rumors at BEST.
I, however, am not familiar with Quickbooks - is this a Microsoft application?
quickbooks.com. Its business accounting software by Intuit and as you may know, accounting in a business can be a make or break to its future. Thanks for the info on the monitors.
Absolutely - this is great information too. I'm going to look into this and see if there's either something on the horizon for you all, oooor if there's a reasonable/comparable app. I promise I won't suggest something terrible without the caveat of 'this might not do what you want but it also might do what you want.'
I use Quickbooks Online with a 29" Lg UltraWide monitor on my Chromebook Pro, the monitor does not like any sort of dongles but works great plugged in directly with an HDMI to USB cable.
Do all price points of Chromebooks have the same level of security?
Dig the energy, thanks!
One of the things I am really liking about recent events in the tech world is that the Chrome and Microsoft worlds seem to have opened up a diplomatic dialog. That as a bi-user (windows & Google)
They seem less intent on competing and more allowing for coexistence and use. Even interaction of use. I am thinking that will only get better.
But like a family reunion. It's all good until someone says; "what's that supposed to mean?" And a fight breaks out.
Forgot, really well edited, too!
Thanks so much for the kind words Dan - one of my favorite pieces I've ever gotten to make here. It sounds like you've been to my family gatherings...hahaha!
My reason ? Windows 10 ! Chrpme is so easy and fast , I hate to have to use a PC now
Well I mean you could just download Pheonix os, if you know what that is, its basically like chrome but limited you 1000 times less and gives you more chooses in the google play store and you can switch back to windows when ever.
Love your videos. It's like watching Big Bang Theory on Chromebooks 😊
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Does WindowsOffice work on Chromebook? Including foreign languages?
The 365 services that are online-based should work no problem - similar to using a Chrome browser on any other device. Otherwise, you've got the options of the Google suite of comparable apps. As far as installing the traditional programs, they are not currently available for the Chrome OS.
Nice video
I'm thinking of getting the HP G5 11 or HP G5EE 11 Chromebook, can someone help me and tell me which one I should buy (I'm a student in grade 7, we use our devices a lot in class plus I also like to watch a lot of youtube videos and I would do some light gaming on my new chromebook. Like Minecraft and simple games like that.
Hey I replaced my Windows laptop with an ASUS C302 and haven't looked back, I love that machine X-)
It's a great device!
Not for me. I would be devastated if my parents did that to me.
@@Promevo The first one I bought was acer C720, used it for several years until the first of Feb. 2019 I decided to get a refurbished Dell with the corei3....it definitely seams to be faster then my old celerome (I know it's spelled wrong, I tried three times and wasn't close enough for my spell checker to give me the right spelling!!!)
My wife bought a $400 laptop with Windows 10S. A week later, she still can't get it to connect to our printer wirelessly. My Samsung Chromebook Pro connected in less than 10 seconds. It was nice.
I'm so glad to hear!
It was the S version of Windows 10. I got her a free upgrade to Windows 10 Pro and restarted the laptop and it now works like a charm. I still like my Samsung Chromebook Pro better. I have a $3,000 desktop for gaming and other such things. It has 32 GB RAM, GTX 1070 SC, Core i7, and Samsung 950 pro 2 TB SSD. i can't complain.
Do you use G Suite services on your Chromebook?
Do Chromebooks have HDMI or VGA port for projection?
Some do. One I used frequently this year was the Acer R13, which has a built-in HDMI port. It made it really easy to connect to projectors and other external displays while I was on the road. Loved it for that reason - though, it's not the most powerful device out there. I can't think of a single chromebook with VGA built-in, but there are tons of great adapters that'll work for you!
Thanks for the video man! My parents have been eager to learn how to use a computer and i feel that the chromebook is a great option.
It's a great option!!!
Chromebooks GUI or interface or how it looks when using it is great for parents that are now starting to use Tech and the elderly, seeing alot of the older generations using DS's and playing games, like a farm game or something, looks fun to me.
I'm sad that 2016 beast Chromebooks didn't get a mention. Like, the G1 M7 is still a great device. Remember?
Great video tho...
I actually never got one from HP, which is why I didn't have any thoughts on it - i'll have to go track one down and use it, a casual google search turned up some interesting info.
Promevo It's certainly less relevant now, but I still currently use it to run my Android/Chrome Os/Kubuntu Plasma setup, and it works great.
There were a few minor issues that the g1 initially had, apart from android not being available, like little performance issues amd stuff.
It's since been imporoved a heap of a heck with Ota updates though and I love it.
Despite looking like something from the matrix(Early 2000's idea of high-tech), it isn't a hybrid with a touchscreen, so it does feel a bit retro at times.
That screen tho...
How does it handle Adobe illustrator and photoshop?
it doesn't
Hollywood version of our Indian Tech Burner!
Awesome!!! Thanks!!
Brilliant presentation!
El Guapo mmm mmm
I think you didn‘t mention the battery life
So true!
Can this use any browser based online apps- like photoshop?
Photoshop is definitely not a browser based online app - do you mean the photoshop knockoff, Pixlr? If so, then yes! If it is a TRULY browser based app, you can use it. I have one wish for chromebooks, and that's for them to support the Adobe suite!
This was an amazing and hilarious video! I am now more convinced to get a Chromebook! I have one question though. There are two Chromebooks I am looking at with my budget; The HP 11 G5, and the Lenovo 100e. Which do you think would be better?
I'd have to vote HP on this one - but that's just based on experiences with other Lenovo devices than the one you mentioned.
He's working for google 7:54 proves it! This is an ad! *"We've got that too"*
...yep, we said that in the comments...in the description...in all of our other videos. It must have taken some serious detective work!
@@Promevo I must admit, I was fooled, but he was full of good information
Finally! A good video that makes justice to the awesomeness of the Chromebook.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
so after two years i need to pay for storage?
Just ordered my first chromebook (lenovo yoga) last night. I have been looking at getting a laptop for a few months now but dont need it for gaming as I have my desktop. And after starting my new job at a school in the tech department I have to handle cheap chromebooks every day and decided I would give them a try this time after I explored an acer 740 and a samsung pro. Just want it for browsing the web, watching youtube, accessing my gmail and my google docs/drive as it's what my work uses plus I was using drive before my new job already.
I love chromebook..... thanks for awesome vid :-)
the host voice remind me of adam ruins everything. lol
You should hear me talk about things I don't like! Hahaha!
Can they run microsoft office?
but we cant install game engine such as unity and buildbox so it not a goto budget device for a developer???
Yup, had a Chromebook since Nov 2017. Everyone says Chromebooks are bad but they don't even know about how it has Google Play. Google Play is what moved me to Chromebook.
Yeah, I would guess that almost anyone that has a negative connotation of Chromebooks either hasn't used one at all, or at the very least hasn't used one since the addition of Google Play, and so on.
Yeah, but you can’t do any hardcore video editing, program programs, and you share EVERYTHING with the World Wide Web. I’m going to stick with windows. And yes it does have USB C and I have used a chrome book for years. It will never be my daily driver
Yep, we have repeatedly addressed the video editing. What program programs do you find you use? As a content creator, the only thing I use outside of web-based anything is the Adobe Suite...meaning that while I need a separate device to edit, I can literally do everything else on the device. I think I made it pretty clear here that this was about suggesting that this may be usable for you, DEPENDING on your needs. Thanks.
Cool guy alert!
Guys i just bought a Chromebook that has less functionality and portability than an android phone. Fucking dumbass
6:00 .......
......wtf
Laugh and live a little eh
Am I correct in thinking that only after 5 years each chromebook loses support ?
I think they've increased the timeline
which one is best for students? i want one that comes with a pen and has a long battery life and large internal storage and looks good. also i need one where i can record lectures on. i don't like the idea of flipping it 360 because that would mean that the keyboard is not protected.
Thank you
The good news is that you don't HAVE to flip it - but only if you want it in that mode. Otherwise, they function identically to any other 'normal' laptop.
I've allegedly got a few of the new Acers coming in to review shortly - I'm hearing GREAT things about the new Acer Spin 13 which might suit your needs (though I don't immediately remember the pricepoint)
Promevo
Thank you, i look forwards to your review.
