10 Things That are NOT True About Chromebooks 

None

That they are the worst devices on earth

that they are bad paper waits! there rlly great ones!

"Chromebooks have a lifespan of 3 years and create electronic waste." Great video! Lots of good info!

They have huge display surrounds [which up until recently was mostly true!]

Hey thanks! What are some of the other things you’d like to see, I’m always up for content suggestions.

@@Eevnos I'd like for you to do a video I know you done one before about comparing Windows 11 to Chromebook about being able to rip music into their respective media players like Windows Media Player and the VLC media player but also like for you to talk about how windows can rip a CD and Chromebook cannot and if Chromebook ever gets that feature for the VLC media player using an external CD drive and it being compatible with it because they don't put CD drives installed anymore. Also talk about how big major corporations like FedEx use the Windows operating system and not Chrome OS in their operations. Those are just some things I'm interested in hearing about as far as Chromebook versus Windows and how I am a Windows guy and I always have been. I'll probably think of more as I go along and let you know about that later. Another thing is about how RU-vid is only an available app on Chromebooks but not on Windows computers so you may not be able to watch TV on your smart TVs with that but you may be able to from the website which is available on the Windows computers and how Google Chrome is available as a web browser on Windows computers as well as the one that comes the already built in Microsoft Edge. There is one more thing for right now I'll probably think of more later on is your opinion on Microsoft doing away with Internet Explorer that's been around for the longest in fact I believe Windows has actually been around the longest longer than Chrome OS or Mozilla Firefox or anything like that talk about all of that. That's all I can think of for right now but I'll probably think of more later on down the line

This is the epitome of "achshuallyyyy" 🤣🤣

Chromebooks cant run google docs without loading for 30 seconds and lags with just 5 tabs open. Their OS is extremely limiting, only allows android apps or Linux stuff

@@odzergaming So, you own one? Or is that just what you've been told. Because it's completely false.

@@johnblackledge4009 i own one

@@johnblackledge4009 I've got a Chromebook because I like testing OSes for myself. You simply saying "it's completely false" does not make it so. I did not pay much for my Chromebook but that pretty is the limit of it's good features.

Your kids know a lot more about what they are being forced to use than you. Although I'm betting what they miss most is Gaming.

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting!

If it supports it gallium os

Mac os is based on bsd, bsd is based on unix, linux is based on unix, they are both unix like operating systems

I have the new Acer Spin 714 Spin, and love it. Like any computer, all depends on needs, and apps you use to maximize the machines ability. Mine has 1tb, I5 with 8gb ram, and simply love it. We run our Home Business off these with dual monitors setups. Yes you can game, we use GeForce Now Ultimate tier.

@@creditrazer981 You have last years 714 or all new one with the Intel i5 Ultra chip and the new speaker layout? The new one looks amazing. Also dud they fix the Bluetooth, WiFi and the speaker crackle sounds? Many of the Acer Chromebook 700 series has had these problems.

Thanks for subscribing and thanks for the details about what you want to see. I’ll check these out!

I recently got a Chromebook for myself my aunt gave it to me and I've been dying to play spiderwick chronicles on it because I usually used to play it on Nintendo DS but I don't have that anymore and I am so freaking obsessed I never even got to zero that it's so wonderful and amazing that I've never forgotten it until now and I want to play it on my Chromebook but I don't know how to it

stop this google propaganda, 2024 chromebooks cant run google docs without loading for 30 seconds and lags with 5 tags open

Unfortunately i don’t have a MacBook Air to test on. I am working on a video about installing ChromeOS Flex on an Apple device though

I’m not sure why anyone would want to do that though. I mean, a five or six year old version of macOS is FAR more capable than chrome OS. Even a striped down Linux distro would be better.

Haha.. thanks. There is a way to get it installed but it's not straight forward and not "official". You have to turn on the Linux support and then install WINE, and then install the Windows version of iTunes.

If you haven't found out yet- Chrome OS Flex is available (for over 2 years now). And you can run it off of a USB drive booting via BIOS. I actually over wrote Windows 11 with OS Flex. I'm not sorry.

@@paulalsup8838 I think I am going to give ChromeOS a test drive.

A lot of people are still convinced that they can’t even be used at all offline. It’s amazing how this is still perpetuated since it hasn’t been true in a long time.

Thanks so much!

so what did you decide im kinda in same suitation. i want to swich my old laptop's win11 to chrome os but as im still confused that will lost ability to work on documents and ppts. your answer will really helpful.pardon my english and thank you

It’s funny you ask because I’m doing a video on exactly that. The two things that do the best on my channel are Apple hardware and Chromebooks, so I thought I’d combine the two with a video. 😉

Of course they do. If wasnt interested, why would you be here, and . . .Commenting?

I understand that perspective from someone who hasn't used them much, but as you dig into them you'll find they're much more capable than many people give them credit for. As far as the build quality, the cheapest ones use cheaper materials (to save on money) but like any other computer the build quality improves as the price goes up. The Acer Spin 714 is extremely well built and is moderately priced.

if you buy a cheap device, don't expect out of this world built quality, the same holds true for Windows Laptops. if you cash out more, you'll obviously find ones with phenomenal built quality. but for a similar price point, you'll get a better built quality and better performance that you would with a similarly priced Windows Laptop.

@@dawoodwilliams3652 so I guess the question then would become: why would you shell out that kind of money for basically an Internet browser? It’s not like you are going to run any professional grade software on these machines. I understand the appeal, especially for the student who only needs them to access Google services. They are a very disposable commodity. That said, they should not be directly compared to a windows based PC or Mac.
