Bought my first Acer Chromebook 13 about 4 years ago for appx. $250. Just got a replacement (same model, CB5-311) for $180.
Always 10+ hours of battery life, I keep open a dozen tabs or more no problem and love the interconnectivity and freedom of having my settings on any other device running Chrome. Not bad for $500 over 5 years.
😎💪🏼
99% of the time I needed a laptop just for fun stuff like social media, reading, RUclips and Netflix, and I always had a PC or a Laptop, but because it was such a waste of time to get windows updated every day for more than an hour I decided to get a chromebook I saw at a poundshop for like 40 dlls, worst case scenario I was just wasting 40 bucks, but after 3 years it still works great and I don't have to worry about the battery life or the annoying daily updates.
Once this chromebook dies on me I will be getting a new one.
How many more months did your 40 bucks chromebook last?
@@krell2130 Mine 60$ Ebay 14" hp 2nd year. Love it
Number 40 makes you a Super-Dude !!!
RUclips used to have an online video editing tools for simple video editing, cut video, add simple basic text, add audio, all these basic tasks works pretty well for basic editing, nothing fancy, but RUclips decided to completely discontinued and remove that video editor.
I have no idea what they were thinking, not everyone need advance video editing, a simple and basic online video editor works great for Chromebook users, those who want to produce a professional video will use Windows or Mac.
this video i am watching right now, doesn't even use any special effect or professional video editing, a basic & simple video editor to cut or trim the video will do, you get my point here, not everyone need to edit their youtube video just like this video
Good point!
Your videos have helped me decide to get one to try out, I picked one up today at Costco on sale from $350 for $200. Haven’t done too much on it but I plan to do brainstorming, journaling, and building some business plans which I can tell it will function perfectly for.
Hello icant use mecrosoft office like exel world powepoint
I've been using only Chromebooks since the very first one was released. Honestly, there's nothing you can't do with them.
I work in IT - administering large networks and working with cloud technologies. I need to script (python), manage containers, and interact with my teams across all projects. I also need to be able to have remote access through a VPN to my servers and other systems for monitoring and management, and have the ability to update my ticket system and interact with technicians for the purposes of escalation and management etc. I am also a student -- studying an arts degree with a university here in the UK. That means my laptop must be able to get me through my assignments and dissertation projects, tutorials (through Blackboard) and interaction with my fellow students using voice and video. And I do this on a used Google Pixelbook. All of it.
By remoting into a Windows machine.
@@Kr00lplatinum Nope. You're wrong if you mean, "in order to do all of that you have to remote into a Windows machine." I administer large networks and work with cloud technologies (Azure and GCP). The clue is in that sentence.
Chromebook also has a shelf life of 6 years after introduction of each model. Not from date of purchase. After which Google will no longer support it. You can actually buy a new Chromebook that is close to being obsolete already.
You can still use the Chromebook after Google no longer supports it, just like tablets and cellphones. But it is safer to have the latest Chrome OS. Some apps might not run if the Chrome OS is not the latest version. Usually, you can tell if the Chromebook on sale is outdated based on the spec sheets. On Amazon, you can actually find out how long that product has been on sale. Avoid those been selling for a few years because of the OS support issue.
work horse "speed" - Chromebooks are web page TERMINALS, the computing is done on server farms "the cloud" so a Chromebook's speed is the Broadband and wifi 802.11ac connection.
Great and informative video. Been thinking of getting a Cromebook just for word processing and blogging on WordPress. Would it be good for that and can you recommend a suitable Cromebook?
I love my Chromebook! Wevideo (video editor) is via the chrome browser and Lightroom is done on my Mac. But my Chromebook is really my work / study pc. Fast and reliable.
I've tried wevideo a number of times and it's ok for very light editing but I find myself either delegating the work OR just relying on my iMac in my office instead
@@itGenius_ you forgot that Chromebooks can run full blown Linux programs. So you could run the full blown Gimp, which is an awesome image editor. You can also run VMs, and a lot more.
One disadvantage of a chromebook compared to a windows machine is no easy "plug and play" of USB DVD drives for watching movies from DVD
That's sucks..
I just want the big screen and light weight
The only problem I've encountered was ascm files for an ebook I bought for class. Apart from that the chromebook is freaking amazing for students
Awesome
I watch you tube and send and receive emails. That's it. Chromebook is perfect
They are straight trash
Your slow if you think they are good
Pluse you spaced you from tube your definitely stupid
@@yellowld9912 you tube are 2 words kinda like the words ass and hole!
Bruh then get a cheaper laptop/tablet, great job wasting your money for a device that is overpriced for what it does that a cheap tablet can already do.
@@redfox6235 Yeah they're really trash yet my daddy bought me one 😔
I shot 2 hours of GoPro video that I condensed to 7 minutes. How did I edit the footage you ask? 100% on my Google Pixel 2XL, all Android apps. Video turned out pretty great IMO. I'm no professional, but it suited me. I could imagine how much easier it would be for me to use the Chromebook vs my phone.
Why couldn't a Chromebook be used as a front-end access/control to a Windows Based computer? One could connect (via USB-C connection) a very fast, high-performance windows computer that would act as a Windows software co-processor to a Chromebook thus achieving access and performance features of a Windows or Mac Computer. The Chromebook would only need to be a controller of the Windows computer attached to a large 4K Display for output. I think this will work with the right software. I also believe that Google, Apple, and Microsoft are working on Cloud-Based graphics and video compute processing that could be utilized by every Chromebook leaving high-end processing (Graphics, Video, Database, and AI...) in the Cloud.
I do something similar at home. I have a powerful desktop, and then I use Chrome Remote Desktop on my chromebook to connect through my wifi and use the desktop anywhere in the house.
It could be portable too, but will depend on how fast your internet is.
A Chromebook could be used as a remote desktop access point and it's even built into chrome now.
Remote desktop works great
unless you are a PC gamer or edit videos on the go it's better to pick a chromebook over any windows or Mac Chromebooks are cheaper, it has better battery life , it boots up faster, it just requires a Google account and everything can be accessed via the cloud
Best bit about Chromebooks is the security. Every job is in a separate sandbox unlike PCs. Best tip I had was to close down every time. Don't just close the lid as you would on Windows PC cos it takes so long to close and open. Chromebooks close and open in a few seconds and every time you open it checks for bugs and upgrades in the background.
Last thing is the ease of use having a keyboard, pad and touchscreen on the same machine.
You never knew you wanted it till you tried it
Will never go back to a machine without touchscreen
Long story short :
1°) watch videos : use Plex and sync films you want to watch offline.
2°) Crostini is your friend if Android or Web Apps don't suit you :)
3°) the main idea you have to keep in mind should be "what task I want to achieve" and not "what tool I'm used to use". It's the same idea if you use a Windows PC, a Gnu/Linux PC, a Chromebook, a Mac. Tools will differe but usages will be the same.
4°) If you use a specific software which is available only on one of those platforms and can't be replaced (work specific software only available on a certain platform), definitely you should keep that platform.
Apparently you can easily add photo editing apps to a Chromebook. It works fine if you have a chromebook that is a bit more expensive. Remember they run all way up to >$1000
I personally don't understand why anyone would get a Chromebook that's so expensive when you can easily get a traditional laptop at that price that out performs it. I spent less than $90 on my 11" Lenovo Chromebook just to have something for basic tasks at work. For everything else, I use my Ryzen 9, 16GB, RTX 3060 Asus Zephyrus G14 that was around $1,300.
@@SolidSiren It was an open box from Best Buy. Zephyrus G14. The 2021 model with a Ryzen 9, 16GB RAM, 1TB NVMe, and an RTX 3060 GPU.
I think long term most of the video editing software will have to create a chromeOS version. I work in finance and 3 years ago I couldn't run any of our business software into ChromeOS (accounting, timekeeping and analysis software). Now, all of them are web-based and run really smooth.
nice
Just letting you know that since this video there's a web-based version of photoshop available. It's still in the beta stages but seems to be about the same to me. Hopefully Adobe will start moving all of their other products to the web as well.
Ohhhhh they are finally getting on board
I remember getting a Chromebook like 8-9 Years ago. Back then it could not use word. So i put it in the back of my closet because i couldnt use it for what i intended it to.
After 8-9 Years without power the battery is obviously dead, but still Works when the power plug is in.
To my amazement, from not being turned on, it can be turned on (logged on through guest login.) and ready to browse in less than 13 seconds.
Like turns Up in like 10 secs.
That is crazy for a 8-9 Years Old computer.
Awesome!
I use my Chromebook for 93% of my work and love it, but then there's Photoshop. Sigh. I do graphic design work as a part of my side hustle and Photoshop is a must. Maybe someday, Adobe will work something out. Until then, I'll need two devices - one that I use everyday and one that just sits there gathering dust until I have to do some graphic work.
Yup! Totally feel your pain there 😭
itGenius Australia yes its is amazing it even works amazing on samsung dex
Have you tried Gravit Designer for your design work? www.drshannondoak.com/2018/05/16/chrome-can-gravit-designer/
Canva there for you 🤭
So basically for general purposes Chromebook is Brilliant. For Hardcore effects photoshop / video Editing MacBook is Brilliant. And for paperweight Windows is Brilliant
Or you know..gaming...
🤣🤣🤣
and for wanting get broke buy macbooks
@Dharma Initiative What kind of school are you talking about? I can definetely see young High schoolers struggle with it, because it is a working platform. A non freshman university student should have little problems utilizing it.
Also it depends where you live and how good the internet architecture is, if you basically never use cloud based services for your work, a chromebook might be quite unusual.
Also, it is not a good primary PC for people who want gaming devices.
"not good for anything" is just wrong. just maybe not good for what you wanted to do or your experience/knowledge on how to get some things running (since linux reduces a lot of limiting factors of chrome OS)
@@Narabedla4 Its not a good device for anyone who wants to do more than browse the internet.
Hey, I'm a heavy MS Office user. Will chromebook suite me??
So I can't edit hard-core videos of me putting square objects into round holes?
Exactly, don’t buy a Chromebook and think it will work like another computer. Learn how to do what you want on the new device. Chromebooks can do anything, you just need to learn how.
I'd really like to give ChromeOS a go, not exactly a huge fan of windows on laptops. I use Chrome a lot, however, for my job I use a lot of specific software applications for various laboratory tools that only have windows versions.
Try out neverware and you can test ChromeOS via a boot USB before committing!
Did anyone else notice that the on-screen image was reversed? to wit, not only was the printing on his shirt backwards, but the clock on the wall was also moving backwards. It was not 9:40 on its way to 10:00, it was actually 2:20 on its way to 2:30. Was this intentional or a screw-up?
He usin front cam, naturally it will be mirrored
Starting my fifth year as a full time chromebook user. Use it for everything, writing, spreadsheets, photo editing and of course everything on the web. Very little not to like.
Nice 💪🏼😎
I guess I'm finally gonna try one.
I realize this video was put out in 2018 and today it's 2022. But, I am on a Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook and I have a pretty nice Linux based video editor called Olive.. It's at least as good as my Adobe Premier Elements on my Windows 10 PC and actually has a few more advanced features that Adobe Premier Elements does not support. I also have a Linux version of Gimp installed which is rather a nice open source video editor that does a whole lot more than just the basics.
yes its come a long way!!!
Why wouldn't I be able to do High end image and video editing on Chromebooks? Chrome OS can install Linux apps directly from version 69. So, I can easily install GIMP image editor or OpenShot Video Editor on a Chromebook and do my work.
Have you tried Openshot on a Chromebook? I didn't have a great experience running it under ChromeOS
Linux apps still aren't GPU accelerated, which means the experience is spotty to say the least.
Snapseed😅?
Waddled through Wal=Mart today and saw a display "Chromebook $99". They had none but said it was available online. I bought one for $83.00 including tax and S&H. Don't know what I'll get but I can't say I overpaid. Thanks for the video.
👍🏼
The ability to work off line and never upload later... working desktop based is very important to me. Is Chrome even worth looking at for me? That's what I'm looking to find out. This vid is one of the closer to covering that, that I can find...
Google Docs work fine offline
The thing i hate about Chromebooks is
THEY HAVE NO FUCKING CAPSLOCK KEY WTFFFFFF
Press Alt + Ctrl to turn on, press Alt + Ctrl to turn off
??? Lightroom gravit and installing Linux apps I'm confused what you mean by not being able to edit photos or do graphic design
Right?!
Why is your video software mirror reversing your vodcast?
I've got a MacBook Pro M1 Pro and wouldn't call 10hr battery life "insane".
However I am buying a Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 as a cheap light Tablet w keyboard.
Great video!!! Very good discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of Chromebooks. I believe that someday Chromebooks will be able to do these high end tasks, but for now, I agree with you, do not try to put a square peg in a round hole. I enjoy my Chromebook very much!!! Have a great day, Sir!!!
Thanks for sharing... As less and less is done on the desktop and more is done in the web - devices like Chromebooks will make much more sense
I'm a indie dev, and the chromebook was a decent little webdev machine, but it simply can't do what I need it to... Now I know chromeos is really just shodily running atop a debian architecture, im removing chromeos and simply going with a full ubuntu so run my c++ ides and libraries. Anything you can do with chromeos you can do in any old chrome browser or just use your android phone.
And fun fact I only paid $50 for my chromebook through backmarket.
I tried alot videos to find out my answer but you helped me out. Thank you for a straight forward review 🙌
More people need to see this video. I see people hate on chromebooks but I don't understand because really they aren't bad machines. They just didn't do their research of what chromebooks can and can't do.
yup
I think because the Chromebooks are cheap sometimes & people want to play games on their laptops which is a stupid reason to hate on something because of that
@@sashathedemiroomni4146 I know like chromebooks aren't gaming pcs if you wanna play minecraft or fortnite you can't on a freaking laptop
@@CommanderBruh Some games you can play on laptops, but it's true people need to stop thinking you can play games on every computer & or laptops because you can't
@@sashathedemiroomni4146 yea but the only ones that are gonna run well are from the google play store. Idk why people think that you can run every game there is on a friggin $200 laptop lmao
Everything you can do with a Chromebook you can do with a MAC or PC plus a gazillion more things...........Why Limit yourself.
1. ChromeOS is lightweight OS, so similar performance requires less power. Hence SILENT machine with long battery life is mostly sufficient. Chromebooks are not I think much diffferent physically from PCs.
2. So many apps are web based, and Chromebook is made for those. There is a web version of Autocad, for example.
3. Runs Android apps, so you can use same apps on Chromebook as on Android phones/tablets. Great for mapping/navigation.
4. You can have very high powered Chromebooks, but then perhaps a Windows machine is more flexible.
5. They are (mostly) ruggedised for education environment. That's a good thing.
I bought a Chromebook 3 years ago. it largely replaced my windows machine, it is just easier for most things. Now I have access to a Windows machine I can use when needed. Mostly life is just simpler with the Chromebook and my android devices. I upgraded to a newer Chromebook recently, more memory, 3: 2 touch screen, but those were not pressing needs.
This guy gets it 😎👌🏼
I bought one thinking that it will work with Microsoft Office/Windows but couldn't

IS CHROMEBOOK GOOD FOR STUDENTS ?
BECAUSE I AM A STUDENT AND I REQUIRE MS WORD, MS PowerPoint PRESENTATION AND MANY OTHER THINGS TO NOTE DOWN OR TO MAKE A PROJECT. I WANT A CHROMEBOOK BECAUSE IT IS CHEAP, HAS A GOOD BATTERY LIFE, IS SLIM AND LIGHTWEIGHT. ALSO SHOULD I BUY A WINDOWS LAPTOP OR A CHROMEBOOK FOR MY NEEDS ?
PLEASE HELP ME SIR!!!!
BY THE WAY "HI"
Yep. Works perfectly for those kinds of thing.
Hey! Thanks for making this video. What do you think about the potential of Chromebook + Cloud Computing? By cloud computing, I mean the virtual CPUs, GPUs, and other services offered by Google, AWS ect. What I mean by this question is that Chromebook, with low specs, can rely on fast internet connection and cloud computing to complete heavy-duty computing works, such as video editing, game streaming. So that people don't have to invest on most advanced hardware specs on their PCs, which would be outdated in 2 or 3 years. Does it make sense? How feasible of this looks to you? Thanks!
Its definitely an option. I'm yet to see remote video/photo editing work well though
Yo
Why is the print on your t-shirt backwards? Did you run this reversed through some kind of video editing software or is the t-shirt or organization being clever or what? Pretty distracting.
The old Facebook live creator reversed the image 🤷🏻♂️
I did have a chromebook an Acer one with a hard drive (not ssd) and a 11in non touch screen. I gave it to my father in the end just too limiting for me. However, they do serve a purpose and for many people who are not techies like me, they will more than suffice!
👌🏼
Chromebooks are awesome. The Samsung chromebook Fiesta Red. The acer spin 714. The HP dragonfly pro. If you know how to use an android phone, then there is no learning curve like there is with windows. Chromebooks aren't meant to be used as your workhorse. They are meant for simple documentation, social media, note taking, etc.
Thanks for a great video.
Please advise me as a beginner... Can I write an article on Google docs in a chromebook then put that article onto Amazon's kindle publishing?
Thanks again.
yes.
Yes
Please give a suggestion for a better device than this. I just got mine, it came very fast, scuff marks everywhere, shows movies bad, its weird. What can i get instead for around the same price.
I just do my finances/banking on my Chromebook - nothing else for security reasons.
& that is, okay
If you have Linux enabled, you can run VirtualBox and run windows ins seemless mode and it works pretty well if you have a decent processor.

What about PDF. How do you read and modify them?
Either Xodo or Kami are very good PDF apps that can be installed through the Chrome Web Store.
Plenty of good Chrome editors

Is there a way to run an external optical drive? I homeschool, purchased Chromebooks for my kids as we were planning on doing most online. However our internet is not reliable enough in our rural area. We now need to go the DVD route. Thanks
Good question, most external storage devices work so it's possible that a USB drive might work
Wow, I'm shocked to see people still stuck in the dark, dark ages. Playstore apps turns most of your knocks against chromebooks straight on their head. And, I mean, are we also going to completely ignore what crouton can do?
We don't even need Cruton anymore, Chrome OS can directly install Linux apps not from version 69 thanks to Google Crostini Project.
Wrong. You're just plain, dead wrong. And it's that kind of thinking that will ruin the true linux experience. Linux runing natively is really cool, and useful, sure, but it's a long way from running the way that crouton does.
Without going into the finer details, it's a debian container, and a lot is missing, and a lot simply will not run natively...not yet anyway.
We're getting very close to a unified experience where you'll have better experiences with local apps running (both Android and Linux) but it's still got a way to go to be stable and user friendly for the layperson.
Definitely in exciting times!
Once I buy a Chromebook am I going to have to pay any more to use it? Or , can I plug it in and start working?
Yes and no. You need a google account (i.e. Gmail account) which is free but also need internet access to use it since it's a web based system. How's the wifi in your neighborhood coffee shop?
I edit simple 720p videos with ease, play borderlands 2, office work, etc etc. all on the same chromebook. It's a bloody pentium with 4 gigs of ram. But it's a skylake based pentium, and ddr4, so it fights like a champ. That's the point of linux, utilizing hardware in a way that the bloated windows and Mac Os can't.
I assume you've installed Linux natively instead of Chrome OS?
@@itGenius_ Nah, I bet he installed a full linux desktop via crouton. How do I know this? Because I am him.
...I need to get a gf for f*cks sake.
@Jonathan Bickel
You can do it!
What chromebook were you looking to get/what kind of editing were you looking to do?
@Jonathan Bickel
Either of those chromebooks are potentially what you would want. I personally use the x360, for the sake of 8gb ram as opposed to 4.
There are some really useful web-based tools to do light editing, wevideo sounds like it could be useful for you. Soundtrap is good for slapping audio together(web-based),
But once you install linux via crouton, you'll also have access to programs like flowblade, audacity, obs, kdenlive, and other video/audio editing software.
@Jonathan Bickel by all means get the pretty one, and the 8gb of ram will help ya out. That said, if it comes with something like an m3, then there's still a lot we can do in linux, but the i3 might be better.
Just upgraded my Samsung 9+ (still a great phone but no 5G) for a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G and, guess what, there was a FREE Samsung Chromebook 4 (11.6) to go with it...!!! Many thanks to EE in the UK for that, I am chuffed to bits and so looking forward to getting my grubby mitts on it..!!!

Funny, with Crostini you will definitely be able to do much more serious a/v editing. Gpu acceleration is coming out now. Been in Oz for 6 months and brought my CB with me to travel with. I love my CB but would love to have a higher end CB for the future (i5/7 8gigs Ram.) I can't find the latest and greatest, higher end lenovo and Asus CB here at affordable prices. Amazon US won't ship to Aus. Any recommendations on where to check for competitive prices?
We sell chromebooks you can chat to our team if you like
@@itGenius_ Thanks for the response, On your sight there is only one chromebook offered. And it doesn't sport the latest kernel nor does it take advantage of Crostini. Which is the very complaint I was expressing. At this point it seems like it would make more sense to pick up a Dell xps 13 on sale and throw Cloudready on it. Because the Australian Chromebooks are so out of date and a little bit overpriced when compared to US models.

Hi Peter, researching switching from MacOS... Question: Can't GIMP/Inkscape run on ChromeOS since all chromebooks also run Linux? (BTW, I really like the concept of delegation by using Chromebook as a forcing function :D
I haven't tested the myself personally but they should work OK
Why is the video flipped?
he hearted the comment lol
Photoshop is available for chrome Os, what are you talking about. Plus you can use the Linux crostani pre-installed or just install Ubuntu or any other Linux Os to run the heavier duty programs. Why are you not explaining any of this to your viewers
Unfortunately the full version of Photoshop is not currently available for ChromeOS
i use chrome book for everything gaming,my channel,editing i had windows and looking back windows is well trash people say windows is for gaming but when i used it for gaming it was very glitchy and everytime i tried to make it stop it just got worse and windows computers are very break-able but i drop my chromebook more then i dropped my windows computer and its fine but my windows computer broke-both of them so i dont really like windows i like chromebook better but i dont like the limits on chromebooks but i think that thats less of a hasle then having a windows computer

Hi! I've got a question: I'm a really basic user for laptops, and after dozens of reviews about chromebooks I finally understand they would workout for me. The question is: chromebooks like the Hp pro 640 (8 Gb RAM, Intel core i5), or the HP x360 (8Gb RAM, Intel Core i3) could handle 25-30 tabs open at the same time in google chrome? Is the chromebook gonna get a lot of lag?
Thank you for your help!
Really depends what’s on those tabs, it’s probably gonna slow down after about 15-20
@@itGenius_ Usually like 2-3 of RUclips, twitter, WhatsApp, Gmail, and a lot of PDFs.
Thank you for the help!

I ordered online an Acer Chromebook CB315. For how long should i let it charge it for the first time? and can i use it while it is charging for the first time? Nice video 👍
Until the battery goes green or overnight if you want to be really pedantic
You can use gimp for example, all Linux apps, but video edit is a little problem
Yup!

Would Chromebook work well with CorelDraw for designing t-shirts?
I don't believe there's a chrome app for Corel draw
@@itGenius_ Okay -- thanks. Nice video.
Can I add non windows programs, like editing videos & what about connecting a printer to it.
Hi! We covered this in our recent video about chromebook: ruclips.net/video/tbuhKoPWmuA/видео.html
Yeah, also you forgot gaming. In other words it's not a gaming device, right?
Nope

video editing with 4GB of Ram would be difficult.
PixLR is a good web interface photo editor
Great, thanks for sharing!
So working with any app for Illustrations will not work on a Chromebook? :(
GIMP isn't hardcore?!
Dude... The reason you can't do hardcore video editing has nothing to do with chrome os but with the hardware of the chromebook. Did you even know you can run tightly integrated linux environments within your chromebook? You'd be able to install native desktop apps like obs, gimp etc with ease that actually work quite decent by the way. Unlike using something like crossover... (If you have the technical expertise that is) But I mean don't expect a high end laptop for a low budget device when wanting to do strong workloads.... I think you're kind of missing the point there.
Fair point 👍🏼
Also... If you really wanted to, you can flash specific firmware in order to reinstall the chromebook with any operating system except for hackintoshing. Since that requires specific hardware. So you could still install something like linux, bsd or windows on the chromebook. Could be a fun project, but you might brick your device in the process... So only do it as last resort option.
