I should get mine in a day or two to replace my ancient Asus flip. I'm still a bit unsure about going with something that isn't a full laptop but nice to see it reviews well.
@Andrew LeRoy i hope they make a next generation for it, maybe improve a few things, and have a higher refresh rate, maybe a better camera, I'd gladly pay 400 for a higher refresh rate version of this product, the new media tek chips and future ones will support this too
@@NinjaMonkeyPrime Its a great device. The keyboard is the only drawback in my opinion, not the easiest to type on, but useable. Other than that, extremely happy with it. For such a cheap device, its no slouch either.
@@raulmiranda7419 I just got it today and I'm really torn. Seems like a nice device but the ultra small backspace and apostrophe (of all things) is driving me crazy. And as I suspected I'm not used to the simplicity of a clam shell design. I do see why this is a well liked device but it might not be for me.
Yea! The Lenovo Chromebook 3 got a mention. I love mine, quiet, battery life in my use is days not hours. Well made doesn't feel cheap. The display fine I've gotten used to it. There certainly are better displays but an entire, functional laptop for $169!
I just 3 weeks ago got a hp chromebook x360 14c and could not be happier. It’s has a great trackpad, good keyboard, thin body, full screen, touchscreen, and more. The brightness is the only problem. I love it though!
I gave one of my HP 14" X360s to my husband's granddaughter last month. I always like to have a backup handy and I was so pleased with this particular laptop, I felt that gifting one of them made sense. Now I need another backup, and will settle for nothing less than a 14" 2 in 1 with a touchscreen and a backlit keyboard. I need to take a second look at this video so I can write down the device names I might be interested in, then search previous videos in order to get a look at the product. With prices going down for Black Friday and the holiday season, now is a good time for me to pick up a second laptop. Thanks for the list. It will come in handy.
I bit the bullet and ordered the Samsung Galaxy Chrome Book. It arrives tomorrow. I found it on sale for $849 on Amazon and couldn't pass it up. Battery isn't an issue for me as the only places I use a laptop are right next to 110v outlets. For the balance I can tun off Bluetooth, cut the screen brightness etc. and survive for several hours. With that screen, lightweight build and beautiful looks, I couldn't pass it up.
A while back I picked up a Pixelbook on sale for maybe $600 I think. I'm still not sure I should have kept it but I am still amazed with what a great device it is. My guess is that Samsung will be the same if not better.
@@NinjaMonkeyPrime I had a Pixelbook for almost all of 2018 and loved it to pieces. I am still sorry I sold it. Great machine. I'm hoping this is a worthy replacement.
You'll definitely enjoy using the Galaxy Chromebook. I've had mine since May, and it's been great. You'll love the display on this thing, it's phenomenal.
I have just recently started to use Chromebooks and my Chromebook of choice is the base model Pixelbook Go. This device has been more than able to get me through my everyday workflow and has very nicely satisfied with my personal needs. Before buying my Chromebook, I had been on the fence about them because I wasn't quite sure what you can do with a Chromebook. I started watching review videos or comment videos like this one and as time has gone on I became more and more interested in them. As I became more interested, I then began to ask myself what do I use the most when working on my desktop, and the conclusion of that thought left me with Chrome. I use Chrome on my desktop to access media, work, and most recently cloud gaming. Since coming to the realization that I use Chrome the most out of any program on my desktop, I purchased my first Chromebook. Since owning my Chromebook, I absolutely love the device. The Chromebook is fast, quiet, long battery life, and I love, love the typing experience on the Pixelbook Go. I started with the base model, one because of price and I thought that if I tried the base model and found that it didn't meet my needs I could always move up; rather than if I started from the top and found that my needs could not be met, then I would be left with no options in my experiment and also I did not want overspend on an experiment. The Pixelbook Go has been great at multi-tasking, completing my everyday work on teams, and zoom, and an advantage over the iPad is the price/keyboard/and using Zoom while still using Chrome without freezing my video feed. Also while using the Chromebook, I have found that I do not need a full desktop, I can edit my photos on my iPhone, and offline gaming can be accomplished using my Nintendo Switch.
@@hsv361 there's 2 camera : one on top on the display (not great, but it does the job for classes) and one on top of the keyboard for the tablet mode (that one is really really bad)
Chromebook Acer Spin 713!! Yes. He's picked my favourite and he uses it all the time in his streams. Bright screen 3:2 aspect ratio. Core i5. Amazingly fast. I love mine.
Just ordered a Lenovo chromebook duet because it's on sale at Best Buy right now, 128GB version for $250! Can't beat that. I had the Samsung Chromebook Pro since it came out (watched your video on it too) and Chrome OS was great but very limited, there were some things that I couldn't do for school but I ended up using it for the 3-4 years I had it. I gave it to my mother and moved back to the Windows World with a Dell XPS 13 9300. It's great to have everything again but I've been wanting a secondary device that supports a pen (for notes) and something bigger to use for media consumption and this definitely stands out over the iPad and Surface Go 2. Thanks for your helpful video on the Duet!
Mine just arrived yesterday and I'm giving a try right now. It's pretty amazing but I'm starting to wonder if the Flex 3 and the slightly bigger size might be better for me. I did try tablet mode for the first time last night and that was very enjoyable for web browsing but this tiny keyboard is starting to get to me.
@@NinjaMonkeyPrime The pictures of it looked cramped but the fact that it’s included means I won’t really care. It’s going to be my secondary device I already have an XPS that I use on the daily so keyboard is not an issue and I can always hook up my Logitech keyboard to the duet as well
I managed to by a Lenovo Flex 5 with i5 8GB RAM and 128GB NVMe PC3.0 x4 SSD in the UK for £529 and performance is amazing, especially running Linux apps. The Acer Spin 713 Chromebook equivalent i5 costs £699 in the UK, so the Lenovo also represents excellent value for money. Lenovo Flex 5 USI stylus support also works well.
This is helpful. Thank you. I'm thinking of moving to Chrome OS, as my life is integrated into Google services. The must I'll spend is around £650. Time to do some shopping!
I'm on vacation and needed an extra laptop for my kids to use. Browsing the Target website (they have same day shipping). All the choices were confusing-- so thank you for making this video!!! I went with an Acer that was on sale for $219.
Thank you very much. Based on a similar video you made a few months ago, I went yesterday (Nov 16th, 2020) to my local Best buy and got for $588 including taxes. It's a beauty. It replaces my 2-3 yr old Asus C305, which still works well and it's already on its way to my 7 yr old grandson. Thanks again.
Great advice and really enjoy your content and how you share your knowledge and experience with us. You REALLY help those of us that want reliable and trustworthy information.
You need to explore more about the Lenovo chromebook(s) as there are a lot of disgruntled people (myself included) concerning wifi loosing connection on Lenovo when all other in home units, ipad, iphones, samsung and HP etc units maintain connection.
These chromebooks are amazing and the performance is staggering, though i spent my 100$ to get a acer chromebook 14 and its amazing Thanks a bunch for making me shift to chromebooks, these are so better for daily use then windows
Really loved this video. I just got into the market for a chromebook and your video answered ALL my questions except one. What would be the best chromebook to use if the ONLY way I plan to use it would be with an external monitor and peripherals? So I'd never open it or take it anywhere.
The Acer looked nice but I got my eye on the Flex 5 for my wife. I'm so glad you decided to post this before black Friday. I liked the pixelbook go m3 also but because it's not a convertible or detachable I would easily break it on accident.
How much ram do I need for a future-proofed Chromebook just in case I need to develop for the most memory hungry programs? All I need is to develop apps for Android, Apple, Google, Microsoft and Linux including but not limited to 2D and 3D games. I'm a newbie to Linux so I need all the help and encouragement I can get. Thank you.
Fantastic video and at a perfect time! If you can take any kind of constructive criticism though, next time, please leave a picture of the laptop you're talking about on the screen while you're still talking about it. In other words, don't take the pic down. Thx
I love your videos! You keep mentioning USI pens but I can never find any that will work on my Lenovo Flex 5. Are there any out there that you know of right now? Or anyone knows of?
I could be wrong, but USI is a standard meaning if the Stylus is USI and the laptop has USI they should work together. The U in USI should stand for "universal" same with the one in USB.
Bought my daughter the Lenovo Duet when Best Buy had the 128GB version for $229! She loves it! I haven't even been able to pry it out of her hands long enough to really play with it myself, but from what I've seen, it's a great device. I personally am hoping that Lenovo releases a 12" version with an i3, 8GB RAM & 128GB storage!
@@CHSISteve I love mine. However, if they were to make a higher spec version, it'd have to have an ARM processor like a snapdragon or something else. Although the Mediatek processor in the duet is pretty underpowered, it runs android apps like a dream since it doesn't have to emulate them using a low-powered x86 CPU.
This is exactly what I needed! Lol I just saw a expensive list of chrome books and I was like 😬 If I’m spending that much it won’t be a chrome book. I just want something cheap.
Totally agree. I stopped watching / subscribing to this channel because it became obsessed with expensive Chromebooks. If I am going to pay a high price for a Chromebook then I will buy a proper laptop and put Linux on it. This is my first visit to this channel in 2021 and getting on for around a year since last visit.
I bought an Acer chromebook 7 years ago for about $170, it's been amazing for study & work on a daily basis, l use it every day. Only looking a new one because it's no longer receiving updates - otherwise still works fine!! Don't need to spend a fortune. Love my chromebook!
Genuinely useful vid but... Which spec HP x360 14c is recommended? I've seen two - Pentium / 4GB / 64GB or i5 8GB/128GB? Both under £599 (roughly the same $)
I really really really really hope that manufacturers will release Chromebooks with a 16x10 ratio screen. I just don't understand why it didn't become the default screen ratio for computer monitors and laptops??? I've had two different monitors (20" and 25") with a 16x10 ratio. It's such a fantastic ratio that balances between productivity and content viewing.
the prices are so off unfortunately, was looking forward to the spin 713 but with the specs you were talking about(i5) in the UK on amazon its 750 gbp right now which is like 1,050 usd.
Hello, Great video! I also enjoyed your 10 things to know about Chromebooks. Is it possible to do a video or give instructions on how to remove an extension "installed by enterprise policy"? I've seen ways to remove them on Windows and OS but not Chromebooks. Thanks again for such detailed videos!
Love you man! ❤️ Best review I have found after constantly surfing on RUclips for past 12 days straight! 👍🙏 Keep up the good work brother. Love and blessings from India! 😇🙏🥂
Hey! Can you let me know anything about the Lenovo 14e? Within my price range it seems to hit all the boxes, really: FHD screen, nice design, 8gb of ram, decent AMD processor, but I was wondering if you guys had any hands-on experience? How does the screen look? Thanks!
In Canada the Samsung chromebook is 2000. Can you recommend a mid range or cheaper chromebook. One with a bright screen. I like the idea of not having to wait for it to boot up. Sometimes my computer is slow thought about trying one of these.
How does the 11” Acer Chrombook 311 (CB311-9H) compare to the 11” Lenovo Chromebook 3. From what I can tell they have similar specs and price. But I read that the Acer has an IPS touchscreen. Is the build quality and overall user experience similar?
Picked up the Acer Spin 713 and its been FREAKING INCREDIBLE....Waited for it to go on Sale and it is on Best Buy right now. Not a perfect machine(speakers are meh) but it punches way above its value at $550.
The Spin 713 really caught my eye in the mid-price range but when I went to look at buying it the price is up to $780. Couldn't find it anywhere for the $629 MSRP, let alone on sale. Do you know why that is? Thanks for the great video
I purchased the hp x360 14c chromebook 2in1 with i3 10gen what do you think about that chromebook in particular? I was able to purchase it for $445 at best buy about 3weeks ago.
Seeking a Chromebook as a secondary laptop. Think that HP in the midrange is looking great as it has all the features I want. Still need a gaming laptop for making videos to upgrade my 11 year old laptop. Chromebook looks like an affordable work laptop that isn't bulky and loud. Also familiar with the HP brand.
I really wrestled with whether or not to get a Lenovo Duet. Unfortunately, it struck out for me.... no headphone jack... strike 1. No microSD slot... strike 2. Only a single USB-C port...strike 3. :( But for those who aren't bothered by those limitations, it is indeed an outstanding value. I'm hoping that Lenovo follows up with a Duet 2 that includes those things... even if they charge an extra $100 for it.
Entered to win...even though I have the Galaxy Chromebook....the battery life kills me at times when I can not be tied to a cord. I would recommend if you desk top it alot.
great video, super informational! this is one of the best review videos that I have ever watched, and it's about something that I love! just personally I hate the duet, too hard to use in your lap. Also the keyboard is not ideal, as it's very squished
There is a sale in my country for Acer Spin 713 with I3 +8gig+128gig I will use it most for streaming and surf . But how bad is the speakers ? Can you watch Netflix episode without headset ?
What’s best chrome book to simply watch and stream media, Netflix, prime, RUclips etc - that’s is literally all I want it for, nothing productively wise, what do you think? Budget up to £400
It reminds me of an OG Pixelbook with a better display, worse battery life, and a more reliable manufacturer. If you're good with the battery limits, I'd say you wouldn't regret it. I have the Pixelbook and it's amazing.
@@whiskeyshots I wonder if that's why GOOGLE decided not to bring out another Pixlebook - because the Samsung Galaxy is pretty much what that would have been. Would make sense.
I’m actually excited for the new Acer Spin 513 or any of the Chromebooks that will use the new Mediatek chips. I’m looking for incredible battery life in my chromebooks.
Good video. Can you imagine if they redid the samsung galaxy? Same build but with a 1440p 16:10 screen. Snapdragon or exynos chipset. That would fix both battery and heat issues and it could properly use Android apps. There would finally be a compelling and fully functional chromebook
Looking to invest in a chromebook, spending about 500 to 600 Euro, Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 very hard to find or overpriced in Europe, can u advise please
Samsung should do a mid-range Galaxy Chromebook with an Exynos to get the price to $600-650. I bought 2 Chromebooks (Go / Duet) and sold 2 Chromebooks (Thinkpad 13 / Toshiba Chromebook 2 2015) this year.
All these chromwbooks are great, but I just can't go back to 16:9 aspect ratio again after my chromebook pro that I've been using for the past 3 years.
Bad news on the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook front. Mine arrived yesterday and I found the screen completely out of calibration. The contrast is a disaster and areas that should just be shaded are pitch black. It is like watching the subject in a spotlight surrounded by blackness. It makes videos and photos, not to mention games, basically unwatchable. I jumped on reddit and found that I wasn't the only one. Apparently Samsung is aware of the issue but no fix yet. Someone made a software overlay that helps tremendously with the contrast but washes out the screen a bit. The screen is the highlight of this machine so you shouldn't have. to suffer a slightly washed out look just to make the viewing tolerable. I returned it today with great sadness. Everything else they say about this machine is true. I was even getting 7 hours of battery. The perfect machine, except for the screen.
I've had a chromebook since 2013 and like them. However not many people know much about them. Also they are supported for 5 years then you need another.
Hey, I would like to know what would you do in my situation. The galaxy chromebook is $1000 - $200 of black Friday instant rebate -$400 of a trade in discount for my tab s6, so I will only be paying $400 for the chromebook. So what would you do?
Hey guys, thanks for the video but when do we see much better webcams on chromebooks ? It is really annoying especially if you are working at homeoffice. Greetings from Germany.
Random question...... does the model# on bottom of ur device say N1Q78? I ask because I got mine today and thought the model # was supposed to be CP-311-2H.
Hi! Do you think it's worth a mention that for the Lenovo Duet, since the processor is neither 32 or 64bit (it's designed for tablets, not laptops), some apps like Stadia or Linux Python will not work on that device? Just something to mention so that it does not surprise a buyer like it happened to me.
What's a Linux Python? Linux works perfectly on ARM chip, and everything else that comes with it, including programming languages. I do Go development with Docker on my Duet - no problem at all. Most of my annoyances are due to the lack of ram and nothing to do with the ARM chip
What chromebook has the absolute best web cam regardless of price? or would it actually just be smarter to get an external webcam? Can you do that with a chromebook?
@Joseph Sakata Thank you. I really appreciate the response & help. Good to know you can do the external camera with chromebook. I'll at least look at that route... although I'm glad you said the Go is the best option outside of that
I got the acer chromebook touchscreen 315 32gb 4gb ram , intel n4000 damn this is one bad a$$ first chromebook. The screen is great the speaker's were actually pretty loud , it was better than the acer aspire 5slim speaker's . The keyboard does feel a little cheap but is good enough. The track pad is where it's lacking but I just use a mouse anyway so I don't care. I got this for 220 after taxes and shipping it was 250 .
Concise, specific, clear. I wish all reviews were like this

I personally am hoping that Lenovo releases a 12" version with an i3, 8GB RAM & 128GB storage!
@@CHSISteve I love mine. However, if they were to make a higher spec version, it'd have to have an ARM processor like a snapdragon or something else. Although the Mediatek processor in the duet is pretty underpowered, it runs android apps like a dream since it doesn't have to emulate them using a low-powered x86 CPU.
This is exactly what I needed! Lol I just saw a expensive list of chrome books and I was like 😬 If I’m spending that much it won’t be a chrome book. I just want something cheap.
Totally agree. I stopped watching / subscribing to this channel because it became obsessed with expensive Chromebooks. If I am going to pay a high price for a Chromebook then I will buy a proper laptop and put Linux on it. This is my first visit to this channel in 2021 and getting on for around a year since last visit.
I bought an Acer chromebook 7 years ago for about $170, it's been amazing for study & work on a daily basis, l use it every day. Only looking a new one because it's no longer receiving updates - otherwise still works fine!! Don't need to spend a fortune. Love my chromebook!
WoW! The Acer Chromebook Spin 713 for Christmas 2020: what an Awesome Gift ;)
Genuinely useful vid but... Which spec HP x360 14c is recommended? I've seen two - Pentium / 4GB / 64GB or i5 8GB/128GB? Both under £599 (roughly the same $)
I really really really really hope that manufacturers will release Chromebooks with a 16x10 ratio screen. I just don't understand why it didn't become the default screen ratio for computer monitors and laptops??? I've had two different monitors (20" and 25") with a 16x10 ratio. It's such a fantastic ratio that balances between productivity and content viewing.
the prices are so off unfortunately, was looking forward to the spin 713 but with the specs you were talking about(i5) in the UK on amazon its 750 gbp right now which is like 1,050 usd.
Hello,
Great video! I also enjoyed your 10 things to know about Chromebooks. Is it possible to do a video or give instructions on how to remove an extension "installed by enterprise policy"? I've seen ways to remove them on Windows and OS but not Chromebooks.
Thanks again for such detailed videos!
Great video! I've recently bought an HP Chromebook x360 14c and I am quite satisfied!
Love you man! ❤️ Best review I have found after constantly surfing on RUclips for past 12 days straight! 👍🙏 Keep up the good work brother. Love and blessings from India! 😇🙏🥂
Great video and explanations. Wife needs a new one and I think we're going with the Flex 5. Thank you!
I need one Chromebook with USI Support? Or good to handle with a pen? Could you recommend on too take notes on during school?
What happened to the c340/c330? I was looking at it for school children. We want to donate a couple for online learning Ontario, Canada. Upto k12.
Hey! Can you let me know anything about the Lenovo 14e? Within my price range it seems to hit all the boxes, really: FHD screen, nice design, 8gb of ram, decent AMD processor, but I was wondering if you guys had any hands-on experience? How does the screen look? Thanks!
In Canada the Samsung chromebook is 2000. Can you recommend a mid range or cheaper chromebook. One with a bright screen. I like the idea of not having to wait for it to boot up. Sometimes my computer is slow thought about trying one of these.
Lenovo Duet is unreal. So pretty ice blue and grey and unbelievably cute. My friend just bought one.
How does the 11” Acer Chrombook 311 (CB311-9H) compare to the 11” Lenovo Chromebook 3. From what I can tell they have similar specs and price. But I read that the Acer has an IPS touchscreen. Is the build quality and overall user experience similar?
Always this man come when chromebook is present
Just purchased the galaxy chromebook in Fiesta red as well and its absolutely amazing! Got it for $799
Picked up the Acer Spin 713 and its been FREAKING INCREDIBLE....Waited for it to go on Sale and it is on Best Buy right now.
Not a perfect machine(speakers are meh) but it punches way above its value at $550.
The Spin 713 really caught my eye in the mid-price range but when I went to look at buying it the price is up to $780. Couldn't find it anywhere for the $629 MSRP, let alone on sale. Do you know why that is?
Thanks for the great video
I purchased the hp x360 14c chromebook 2in1 with i3 10gen what do you think about that chromebook in particular? I was able to purchase it for $445 at best buy about 3weeks ago.
Can you do a review of the acer chromebook 315, I'm thinking about buying one for Christmas and it's $179 at my walmart :)
Good luck 🍀
Let me know if it’s worth buying it.
Probably they have done it already.... check on the channel
@@hektorink I've checked they only have reviewed the acer chromebook 15 not the 315
Seeking a Chromebook as a secondary laptop. Think that HP in the midrange is looking great as it has all the features I want.
Still need a gaming laptop for making videos to upgrade my 11 year old laptop. Chromebook looks like an affordable work laptop that isn't bulky and loud. Also familiar with the HP brand.
I really wrestled with whether or not to get a Lenovo Duet. Unfortunately, it struck out for me.... no headphone jack... strike 1. No microSD slot... strike 2. Only a single USB-C port...strike 3. :( But for those who aren't bothered by those limitations, it is indeed an outstanding value. I'm hoping that Lenovo follows up with a Duet 2 that includes those things... even if they charge an extra $100 for it.
I just picked up the x360 from Best Buy for $379. At that price, it is the only Chromebook I can recommend!
Watching in my lenovo chromebook duet🥰
Looking for a chromebook with great battery life and storage. What would be the best option?
Acer 713
Entered to win...even though I have the Galaxy Chromebook....the battery life kills me at times when I can not be tied to a cord. I would recommend if you desk top it alot.
great video, super informational! this is one of the best review videos that I have ever watched, and it's about something that I love!
just personally I hate the duet, too hard to use in your lap. Also the keyboard is not ideal, as it's very squished
I bought the Acer Spin 713 several months ago. I am pleased with it over all.
How are the speaker's
Best Buy has the Acer Chromebook spin 713 at $549! Got me one today!
that Acer kinda gave the game away, clearly the winner of your chromebook of the year aha
is it the one he has open in front of him?
@@MoChuang343 yeah, about 2 minutes in I caught the hint
There is a sale in my country for Acer Spin 713 with I3 +8gig+128gig
I will use it most for streaming and surf .
But how bad is the speakers ?
Can you watch Netflix episode without headset ?
How's the camera on the Galaxy Chromebook? And why have that 2nd camera on the keyboard? What can be a practical use for that?
I just got the acer 315 fhd with touchscreen. How many nits does it have ??
Thanks for providing us with all your great videos!
What’s best chrome book to simply watch and stream media, Netflix, prime, RUclips etc - that’s is literally all I want it for, nothing productively wise, what do you think? Budget up to £400
Cromebook should come in Dell XPS model laptops 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm seriously thinking about the Galaxy Chromebook. I'm plugged in nearly all day working, so the battery thing would not be an issue.
It reminds me of an OG Pixelbook with a better display, worse battery life, and a more reliable manufacturer. If you're good with the battery limits, I'd say you wouldn't regret it. I have the Pixelbook and it's amazing.
@@whiskeyshots I wonder if that's why GOOGLE decided not to bring out another Pixlebook - because the Samsung Galaxy is pretty much what that would have been. Would make sense.
This is on sale for $599.00 on Best Buy. Right now. Definitely worth it.
Can you please do like hadware comparison betwen intel and amd..I dont know what to buy an intel or a amd chromebook..thanks a bunch
what tips do you have on scanning in documents from an hp printer I just bought an acer chromebook 315. thank you for the video
Hi! There is an chrome extension called scan which works with almost every printer:)
I’m actually excited for the new Acer Spin 513 or any of the Chromebooks that will use the new Mediatek chips. I’m looking for incredible battery life in my chromebooks.
Good video. Can you imagine if they redid the samsung galaxy? Same build but with a 1440p 16:10 screen. Snapdragon or exynos chipset. That would fix both battery and heat issues and it could properly use Android apps. There would finally be a compelling and fully functional chromebook
You have a model number for the acer spin?
Looking to invest in a chromebook, spending about 500 to 600 Euro, Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 very hard to find or overpriced in Europe, can u advise please
Samsung should do a mid-range Galaxy Chromebook with an Exynos to get the price to $600-650. I bought 2 Chromebooks (Go / Duet) and sold 2 Chromebooks (Thinkpad 13 / Toshiba Chromebook 2 2015) this year.
Do the Chrome Books have a lot GB's like a laptop, or is it just like a cell phone?
All these chromwbooks are great, but I just can't go back to 16:9 aspect ratio again after my chromebook pro that I've been using for the past 3 years.
I've got the Pixelbook and concur. I didn't think I'd like the 3:2 when I bought it and now 16:9 looks so damn small.
That's one of the things I love about my slate. If they have tablet mode, they should be 3:2.
Bad news on the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook front. Mine arrived yesterday and I found the screen completely out of calibration. The contrast is a disaster and areas that should just be shaded are pitch black. It is like watching the subject in a spotlight surrounded by blackness. It makes videos and photos, not to mention games, basically unwatchable. I jumped on reddit and found that I wasn't the only one. Apparently Samsung is aware of the issue but no fix yet. Someone made a software overlay that helps tremendously with the contrast but washes out the screen a bit. The screen is the highlight of this machine so you shouldn't have. to suffer a slightly washed out look just to make the viewing tolerable. I returned it today with great sadness. Everything else they say about this machine is true. I was even getting 7 hours of battery. The perfect machine, except for the screen.
I've had a chromebook since 2013 and like them. However not many people know much about them. Also they are supported for 5 years then you need another.
Hey, I would like to know what would you do in my situation. The galaxy chromebook is $1000 - $200 of black Friday instant rebate -$400 of a trade in discount for my tab s6, so I will only be paying $400 for the chromebook. So what would you do?
id get it lmaooo
Hey any Chromebooks w/ 19 10th gen unlocked, a QHD display, backlit keyboard, touchscreen, built in stylus?
Awesome choices. Im watching this on my Hp chromebook X2. Chrome OS has been so much easier for me and my family.
Hey guys, thanks for the video but when do we see much better webcams on chromebooks ? It is really annoying especially if you are working at homeoffice. Greetings from Germany.
Best review I've seen in ages!
Do you have a case/sleeve that you like for the Spin 713?
Do all these Chromebooks use Type-C ports for charging?
How can I see how much storage is left on my external drive using my chromebook?
Just got the acer chrome book 311 yesterday and I love it. Touch screen and with intel.
Random question...... does the model# on bottom of ur device say N1Q78? I ask because I got mine today and thought the model # was supposed to be CP-311-2H.
Galaxy chromebook charges quickly, don't sweat the battery life.
Thank you for this video...I have subscribed to your channel and we are using your recommendations for our purchases.
How about the lenovo yoga? Why is not in the list?
When can premium Chromebooks ever compete with traditional laptops? With less functionality, the greatest Chromebook advantage is price!
Hi! Do you think it's worth a mention that for the Lenovo Duet, since the processor is neither 32 or 64bit (it's designed for tablets, not laptops), some apps like Stadia or Linux Python will not work on that device? Just something to mention so that it does not surprise a buyer like it happened to me.
What do you mean Linux Python won't work? Python3 is available in Debian Buster for aarch64 and arm64
What's a Linux Python? Linux works perfectly on ARM chip, and everything else that comes with it, including programming languages. I do Go development with Docker on my Duet - no problem at all. Most of my annoyances are due to the lack of ram and nothing to do with the ARM chip
I tried installing Jupyter Notebook and it seems that it won't work with this CPU. Sorry, should have been more specific.
I just discovered that the code editor Atom does not appear to install on it due to the chipset.
What chromebook has the absolute best web cam regardless of price? or would it actually just be smarter to get an external webcam? Can you do that with a chromebook?
@Joseph Sakata Thank you. I really appreciate the response & help. Good to know you can do the external camera with chromebook. I'll at least look at that route... although I'm glad you said the Go is the best option outside of that
I got the acer chromebook touchscreen 315 32gb 4gb ram , intel n4000 damn this is one bad a$$ first chromebook. The screen is great the speaker's were actually pretty loud , it was better than the acer aspire 5slim speaker's . The keyboard does feel a little cheap but is good enough. The track pad is where it's lacking but I just use a mouse anyway so I don't care. I got this for 220 after taxes and shipping it was 250 .
