Thanks for sharing such a thorough review. My 11" HP is on it's last leg & the model I have is no longer available, so I've been searching for something portable to replace it.

@beyondtherhetoric 5 лет назад

I was hesitant to jump from Windows to Chrome OS, but it's been great. I think the performance is much better with Chrome OS, as it's a much lighter OS overall. I wouldn't want this as my main machine, but it's a great secondary option.

Thank you for this review. I recently purchased the Lenovo 500e Chromebook and tho it hasn't arrived yet, I'm very concerned about the very details you spoke about here, if an education-targeted device could be used for blogging. And it can! I'm so happy. Thank you for this. And I hope to see more of your videos in the future. (Maybe I could let you know when my blog's up and running 😁)

@montisino 2 года назад

Hey man great review very informative and straight to the point but I have 2 questions do you still use the 300e ? And does it worth it to get one now 2022 ?? I found one online 130 us dollars.

@beyondtherhetoric 2 года назад

Yup, I still use it. Battery life isn't as good now, understandably, but it still does everything I need. $130 sounds like a good deal to me.

@TheRealLucifer-Morningstar Год назад

@beyondtherhetoric how bad is the battery now?

@michal4736 2 года назад

Thank you for that review! Actually, I am looking for my own Chromebook for mail, and text purposes aside from my main computer and I was considering Lenovo 300e gen2 or Dell 3100. Maybe you had some experience with the Dell 3100 and could compare them? To me, the Dell 3100 has an outstanding, round shape, very similar to the Pixelbook go which had a perfect design IMO.

@beyondtherhetoric 2 года назад

I haven't used the Dell, so I don't really have an opinion there. Good luck with your search!

@michal4736 2 года назад

@@beyondtherhetoric Thanks for the response! Finally, I decided on the Dell 3100 2 in 1, mostly because of the visual design. In Poland, I bought new for like about 100$. My goal was to buy a Chromebook for my office work with text, numbers, search for image references etc. Maybe someone will be interested in my feelings about this model so I will let me leave a few points: - The Chromebook looks really clean, round-shaped and definitely doesn't look cheap (I was totally bored with the generic looks of almost all laptops, which look the same); it has mat plastic with rubbered corners which are really nice in a touch - keyboard feels plastic, not the best I have met, it is just ok, enough for the work the office work - touchpad feels for me better than the keyboard, it is simple, responsive and I like it; the gestures works really nice - speed is more than great, everything clicks and opens without any delay or lag, and any app or chrome web browser with many tabs works perfectly - the touchscreen is nice, not the most important thing to me but if it is present, it is a nice addon - Chromebook is very portable, I am rather a slim man and I can't say it is heavy - the screen is ok, bright enough and fine with colours, its not OLED but it is enough for the office work

@tamarag9765 5 лет назад

It would take a big leaning curve for me. I actually get really annoyed by the Chromebooks at the school I work in.

@beyondtherhetoric 5 лет назад

That's fair. I think it depends on usage cases. I'm still getting used to the keyboard shortcuts, for example, and how there's no caps lock key. Are you mostly a Windows or Mac person?

@ilbwamh15 Год назад

Great Review.. I have the same chromebook but i cant get the touchscreen to work.. any tips? Thank you :) btw this is a 1st gen right?

@beyondtherhetoric Год назад

Yes, I believe this is the first gen, but I'm not 100 percent positive. Not sure what you can do about the touchscreen outside of taking it into a shop to repair, but at that point, it probably isn't worth it anymore.

Is it worth as of now in 2023? I ordered a lenovo 300e chromebook 1st gen with mediatek and chrome os at 70€, i need it for browsing, youtube and business :)

@beyondtherhetoric Год назад

For the price, I'd say that's a great deal. It'll do all the basics for you, as long as you don't expect the world of it. If you plan on streaming video, it helps if you download the video locally first if your service allows that.

@tziogrwzm Год назад

@beyondtherhetoric Год назад

@@tziogrwzm Chrome OS updates automatically (it might ask for a restart), which should give you the latest Chrome browser too. I watch RU-vid in browser, not the app.

Hi, if u have time would u be able to compare the features of this laptop with Yoga 300, pls? I had it before, but is broken, so I consider to buy sth similar, and I bump into this 300e. Thanks

I haven't tried the Yoga 300 myself, so I can't really comment on that.

hes wearing a kk slider shirt! the cons you metioned at the end of the vid dont seem so bad, i just dont like that its more than 3 lbs

@beyondtherhetoric 4 года назад

Got that shirt from the NYC Nintendo store! True, it's not the lightest laptop out there, but I don't find it all that heavy either, especially when you compare it to most larger (13-15 inch) alternatives. I haven't used it myself but the C330 is very similar, but it's not ruggedized, so it should be a little lighter. I'm guessing in the 2.6 lbs. range or so.

@matthews4159 5 лет назад

- the Chromebook is NOT a computer, normally its a TERMINAL with FAST WiFi 802.11ac to cloud servers which perform web pages like google docs or RU-vid. - recently android has been added & Linux(beta) these need a Mk2 Chromebook more like the normal Microsoft pc, which should have more memory and use more powerful CPU's

What is the difference between the AST and the MKT models of the 300e 2d gen?

@beyondtherhetoric 2 года назад

From what I can see, it's the processor. The AST model gets an AMD chip, and the MTK gets a MediaTek chip.

@vanessamaders9332 Год назад

An it’s be used for programming, video editing and so on?

I'd say video editing is probably a stretch, but programming should be fine.

Can i make it windows system ?

@beyondtherhetoric 6 месяцев назад

I don't know if it's still available, but there was a Windows version of this at some point. I have no idea how difficult it would be to *convert* a Chromebook to a Windows laptop.

@joelchikawura4703 6 месяцев назад

hw much does it vost

@beyondtherhetoric 6 месяцев назад

It was about $370, I think, when I got it, but that was several years ago and it'll be cheaper now.

@NikolaIlic564 2 года назад

Can you increase memory to 128, for example?

@beyondtherhetoric 2 года назад

Maybe? Probably? I'm sure you can find tutorials on here for how to take your Chromebook apart and replace parts, but that would likely void your warranty.

@tubeslats 5 лет назад

A Chromebook is a "real" computer. It just does not run Microsoft Windows .exe programs.

@matthews4159 5 лет назад

many will run android and Linux (beta) which is almost a windows type os

@tittleone 4 года назад

Does it play 1080p videos with no lag

@beyondtherhetoric 4 года назад

It does okay, but it will depend on how that video is encoded. I've tried playing back video from my camera (about 22Mbps MTS) and it's mostly fine. Watching anything streaming is usually okay too, but that's likely getting bumped to 720 as the display isn't even 1080.
