We Have Almost Every NEW Chromebook Plus Model 

Haha, I've given myself a certification because I know where the search button is :)

@@Jonathan-LI have a certification for knowing that Chromebook computers exist. Does that count?

@@glennso47 You're in with the rest of us Glenn :)

@@Jonathan-LIm also certified in how to not let the pigeon drive the bus. Since getting that certification, I’ve not seen a single bus being driven by a pigeon.

I see them very cheap now. The Lenovo with RGB keyboard, i3-1215U, 8GB/256GB 120Hz IPS 2560 x 1600 screen is the same price as chromebooks with way less specs. So it could mean they dont support it anymore

Especially the intel variants

I've never had one with a fan

@@gilbosavannahor a fan club.

Yea that would be cool. I was shocked when my Pixel Tablet turned out to just be Android.

Yeah I'm genuinely a little worried because none of these Chromebook Plus criteria mentions arm based chips. The Snapdragon partnership, who made the chip for the Lenovo duet 5, is now dissolved. I'm a little bit worried about the future of arm based Chromebooks. Like based on the criteria for Chromebook Plus, none of the arm-based duets or tablets would be eligible.

@@michaelcorcoran8768 I don’t need a Plus, regular ones are perfectly fine, and there are already leaks of a new tablet from Asus that rocks a Kompanio (don’t remember which one). There’s an article on Chromeunboxed website. I know they are dropping, but not sure when. If they keep it similar to the CM3 with the pen and slimmer bezels, oh boy I’m all down, hope it’s 11 inches, I don’t enjoy big tablets. The X2 11’s design’s still king tho.

I don't think ARM-based Chromebooks will go anywhere anytime soon. There's still an education market which Google dominates, at least in the U.S. and I don't see educators wanting to pony up more cash for something that appears to be aiming for a "premium" type experience. There's an entire generation growing up on Chrome OS & Android. Having the ARM-based devices around just makes sense as a good financial jumping on point for people entering the Google eco-system. I think we're just witnessing more growth of Google's slow burn.

Same here... I use the screen inside 99% of the time and it's perfectly fine. Of course, if you need outdoor capability then you'd need to look elsewhere. I also don't see the body flex that Robby mentions, my device seems extremely well built. Plus, I love the 16x10 display, improved speaker quality and newer processor that this model offers. Finally, I'm thrilled that the HP will get the "Plus" updates. I purchased it prior to Google's announcements (open box at Best Buy for $280), and this is a VERY nice bonus!

Yes, I feel like this "plus" is a miss for me as it means nothing for the display. 1080P? UGH. My mid tier 6" phone has a better screen. The display is literally the most important thing on a laptop. They need a ++ : )

Sometimes they're only loaners. But outside of that, some creators sell them. Some keep them for reference. Some give them away to family. Zeos has garage sales and sells all his review copies of headphones for thousands of dollars. Nice gig if you can get it

I'm curious about this myself. I think Chrome boxes and desktops are overlooked.

Good question I'm considering adding a chromebox to my set up.

You could just get the Chromebook you like and attach to your monitor and peripherals to get the best of both worlds.

I'm hoping that my HP all-in-one Chromebase will qualify for Chromebook plus features. I am at least happy that all Chromebooks / Chromebase / Chromebox released 2021 or after will now get 10 years of OS updates now (instead of 8 years).

Yeah I suppose it's possible if they manufacture new batches of it they could add the branding. Otherwise probably just a sticker on the box or something

Some problem with my Pixelbook Go, clearly a design fault

3:2 and better than 1080 panel. The 2560 ballpark is the sweet spot for pixels to battery use IMHO.

I see Samsung Plus chromebooks using EMMC storage so a big NO.

Zero. They did not include ARM for Plus. For me this means no more Chroembooks. Hopefully they will correct this mistake.

@@atodea that is such a giant failure.

Totslly agree. I just got the duet 5 for 329 and this thing is a beast.its only Google drawing some lines so that people go and get that device instead. THe only thing ill miss with my duet 5 is android studio emulators..... IT can do pretty much anything else and im sure it can also do emulation but its limited by google @@charbax

For that use, maybe the Lenovo Duet 5 tablet is best.

Picked up the new Lenovo Chromebook Plus Flex 5i from my local Best Buy this a.m. They now have some stock on the Plus units.

The Duet has an ARM processor. New ARM processors can be very fast but for some reason they chose not to include ARM for Plus. So, before they rectify this (or new Intel/AMD chips can use less power), there will not be a Plus tablet

No

Lucky. It has poor battery life.

About two years ago, I bought a Samsung Chromebook 4k. It was the worst I bought from Samsung so far. I returned it the next day after I set up and made some personal tests. I don't think they should be charging over 1k for that Chromebook.

​@@GPDFI remember when it was on heavy discount at Best buy with clearance rates for like 400 bucks or something. But the reviews had a lot of complaints over battery life. Seem to be it's Achilles heel, along with price. It's a shame because the idea of a 4K premium Samsung Chromebook with S-Pen support could be exciting.

@@michaelcorcoran8768 The idea was exciting, and thats why I bought one. That promotion I didn't see it, but I don't think I would have bought it again.

Framework. I got an update and pop-up notification on mine last night welcoming me to Chromebook plus.

It will be downloaded with your update. You can check with Chrome Unboxed as he knows many things about the Chromebook since he's been reviewing them for many years.

Yes it is, mine doesn't have the logo on the front but when you open it up chromebook plus comes up with your password or pin number on the opening screen.

It is not.

There's the Lenovo Gaming Chromebook 16.

@@aliasgharkhoyee9501 but it's not yoga 360 hing it touchscreen unfortunately

Don't wanna rain on your parade, but from all the builds we've seen upcoming for ChromeOS, there's no pixel book on the horizon anytime soon. Google abandons good products, more than poor black men abandon their kids.

@@ZackMorris1 I have the 10th gen intel i7 cpu and 256gb ssd samsung chromebook with the 4k super amoled display. Unfortunately, my chromebook is not on the list to support steam whenever google rolls out the update for playing steam on chromebooks. I was hoping to use thunderbolt from the usb c port and attach an external gpu enclosure and install a high end gpu for playing games on steam with chromebooks. I have games from epic games and gog games. I hope google will support games that are from epic games and gog games whenever google updates the chromebooks support for steam on chromebooks. I also have the 2022 razer blade 15 with it's 4k 144 hz display, 32gb ram Intel i9 cpu, 1tb ssd, 3080 ti 16gb vram version that I use to play with my steam library, epic games library and gog games library. I love 4k that's why I have a samsung 4k chromebook, 4k windows 11 gaming laptop, 4k 120 hz oled display from my sony xperia 1 iv android phone. I been used to using 4k displays ever since 2014 when I first bought my first 4k samsung curve tv. I even upgraded my 2014 samsung curve 4k tv to a 2017 samsung qled 4k curved tv. I was an early adopter when 4k was coming out when there was barely any 4k content. Nowadays, there are more 4k content since I buy the 4k physical discs. 4k is the sweet spot and I have no interest with 8k, there is no 8k discs and 4k already uses alot of bandwidth. I watch 4k youtube videos even on 1080p displays. I'm more interested in 4k micro led whenever it becomes available to buy and when the prices are more affordable. I will wait for as long as possible for 4k micro led to be more affordable now that 4k is more affordable and 4k is common on more modern tvs compared to when 4k first came out. Even though I was an early adopter of using 4k, I waited for the prices to be more affordable and more attainable.
