Love ChromeOS and Chromebooks. I've been running virtually everything through Chrome OS for a number of year's now, but since the pandemic hit and we've been working from home for nearly a year now my Pixelbook Go has supported everything I do for my work. Connect it to a remote work desktop and I don't need anything else tbh.
I come from a Windows background (since early 90s), so I know a bit about PCs, and it's great to see a Chrome OS review "for newbies", but without it being too dumbed down. You got the balance just right. Many thanks :-)
Lol dude I got you beat when I started I only had aol and 144bud modem to get online VGA display and sound blaster sound card Yes that's right All those are extra options some time I have to setup IRQ so they won't interfere with each other but that was the fun in trying to figure those out and install driver on window 3.0 no plug n play next step probably will be brain interface which is a helmet like device to wear and can interact with PC maybe even it will devices hook up to our sense kinda like a VR games so with Chrome os been in the cloud my grandson is probably going to spend his life in the VR cloud for school,fun and date 🥰🤪who knows what is going to happen in the future and when I started I be happy I have a 144byte connecting speed gigabyte speed sounds like a science fiction novel
My mom surprised me with an Acer Chromebook early for Christmas so this info will come in handy on Christmas morning when I can finally boot it up so thanks for this! Especially since I've never used ChromeOS ^ ^;
You're a genius! Very helpful video, thank you! I'm buying laptops with Chrome OS for my nieces and nephews. I've never used a pc with Chrome OS only. I think I will like it because I'm a big fan and user of Chrome and Google.
I was a long term windows user ( I am 66 and have had a personal computer since the commodore 64). I was running windows 7 on my 12 year old pc. It was so slowwwww! I just bought a chrome book 2 weeks ago and I love it. I am convinced that the majority of pc users would be better off with a chrome book. I was worried that my excel and word apps would no transfer over but they work great on Google docs. Besides all this it is much more economical.
12 years old pc of course will be slow compared to a new one, am sure after 12 year if you buy a new one ( windows or chrome) you will notice the same (no matter the cost)
You might be able to install Google Chrome OS Flex on that ancient notebook, if you kept it. I'm age 73 and started on the Tandy TRS 80 with an 8" floppy. 64k was a ton of memory in those days! LOL.
I ordered a Chromebook from QVC on Black Friday. I love it!! I did not need anything for school or work. All I wanted was a simple laptop for my personal use. Watch movies, FB, TH-cam, internet etc.. No regrets!!
Came across a chrome box without a charger, waiting for the charger to get here still but have never used Chrome OS. Years of experience with OSX/Windows...and some Ubuntu, so this is fairly exciting.
I have been using Chrome OS for last 3 days and I am fan of simplicity and elegance. For me being a developer Linux support is the biggest point. PS : Running on my budget gaming laptop on dual boot with windows 10. And I am loving it. Sure serious gaming is missing but for most people it is good. Hope google brings inbuilt app store to download desktop Linux apps. That would be really good
I tried to install it but it didn't get install and now my laptop shows missing operating system. Could you just tell how could I fix it?? My one is hp. Or tell me how to install it. I am not using my laptop for about 3 days. I am tired of struggling to fix it?? Please help!!💡
I tried using Chrome OS via triple boot on my 2014 HP laptop with Pentium N3530 CPU, 4GB DDR3 RAM, and 500GB SATA HDD. It was painfully slow to run games in it. More than that, some mobile games like Real Racing 3 can't be installed in Chrome OS. So really, Chrome OS is nothing more than just a glorified RAM-eating Chrome browser with Android tablet app support. To be brutally honest, I'd rather buy a flagship-grade smartphone that has Desktop Mode capability like Samsung, LG, and Huawei instead of a Chromebook laptop.
So ChromeOS is like Android and Linux fused together since you can run apps from both? It's really interesting. If it was done by another company, I would probably buy it.
I'm already using my 2nd Chrombook and in my opinion Chrome OS is getting better. In fact, I think it is one of the best systems in the world. It is not yet my replacement for my Manjaro Linux PC 🤣😂👍
I have never used a Chromebook b/4 and know nothing about them. Do you have any other videos that dumb it down some more. I am not computer savvy at all.
I baught cromebook cuase it was all they had. It's miserable.. Nothing works and none of the apps are even made for Chromebook. It's like using android on a laptop and being handicapped.
Honestly this is the only perspective, I’m just playing with one that my wife had laying around. Talk about a waste of technology, no apps show up anywhere
I just curious about Chrome OS, after watch this video, this is not for me, I can replace it with my Huawei tablet (with GMS of course). My desktop using linux, laptop using mac and windows, phone using samsung and iphone, and cloud services I'm using dropbox + cryptomator, maybe in the future I will setup my own nextcloud, and email using my own box. I am too paranoid to depend on one company :D When google down, it doesn't affect my productivity. Nice video btw.
No OS is safe to be honest regarding privacy. Apples' ios, mac os ,google's android ,microsoft's windows etc. Chrome Os has no virus because its a mobile os. I think thats it. I dont think its any safer when it comes to privacy because we still give various access to the apps.
7:39 the claim that security is a deliberate bonus is bull, you'll learn quickly that there is a less of a point to attack uncommon OSs Because there's just less to to gain. Because chrome OS is based off of Linux, they'res not any real threats to individuals, and because chrome os is a supped up web browser, any important data is almost garenteed to be stored in the cloud.

Hi mate, I just got a brand new Acer Chromebook 315 few days ago but it cant be set up. After connecting to an internet, I'm stuck at the page of "Determining device configuration". It keeps saying "No network available". I tried to browse as a guest and its going perfectly. Which means there is an internet connection. I've done a restart, done a powerwash reset, but its still the same thing. It keeps bringing network not available... Have you heard anyone having similar issues ? Please kindly help me out
@@itGenius_ thanks for the response. By the way, I'm just thinking if it could be because of the chrome version that comes with the Acer chromebook. When I check, the version that came with it was version 90.0.4430.86 (Official Build) (64-bit). And I learnt the latest version is 121. Can it be because of the version ?
quick question..my chromebook aue (auto update expire) date is in june of this year. can i download chrome os before that and is it the same as google chrome? thanks.
Hi, before the AUE date, devices will receive new software updates from Google. On and after the AUE date, your device will not receive software updates from Google anymore.
Well, Chromebooks are really boring to me. I can use play store apps on a phone or tablet. A used laptop with Windows 10 on it will be perfect to install Linux Mint, Mabox or Modicia on. You get the full Linux experience that way and use another mini pc with Windows 10 for gaming.
I just bought from the internet 1 Hp and a Dell Chromebooks. When I turn them on I get Network not available. Then it goes to another page that says continue as guest. Then a box comes up and says in blue box says learn more, even I get a hand it wont go any where. I have always used windows but I have had one for over 20 years. Just can't get anywhere. Please someone please help me. .
Good bye Mac! I'm so excited to not only buy a system that is way more sophisticated and inline with price, as well as I'm on a mission to watch greedy dishonest apple's down fall! Spent thousands of dollars on apple's products over the years and couldn't stay away because of macs systems, which eventually out run me and left me with no other choice other tossing a perfect intact machine, just because apple made it impossible to update the system w/o buying a new computer. I don't care if some will say it's not the same, well guess what??? It's better!
Hey mate, now you can install Terminal and run so many good open-source Linux apps like LibreOffice, Gimp, Inkspace, Audacity, Kdenlive etc ... I got an i5 8 GB RAM 256GB storage and editing 4K video very smooth. It is very easy to enable Terminal. I highly recommend it to explore these amazing apps. I love the simplicity, e.g to install Audacity type into terminal sudo apt-get install audacity and that's all ;-). This is going to get better and better. I love my Chromebook ;-)
How can i get back my old account because i forgot my password and i selected to make a new password and al my sons info of school was lost because of the new password that i made 😒 any suggestions?
What is the best free app to install on Google OS that edit PDF drawings. I need to be able have the option to select to print only one layer out of many on a drawing. And I don't know which free app will allow that option.
So is this just an Enhanced version of Android? I thought i could install some desktop apps on this OS. I don't need a Mobile apps for work on a Computer.
The _ridiculously low_ amount of RAM these come with, as well as not having the option to upgrade _anything_ in them is what's holding them back from gaining more popularity.
I think Chrome seems to be good for sharing / schools - kids but why would you not want to run a new M1 Mac or Widoze machine if you're a power business user earning USD? Older users would do much better with a tablet iPad. One can get a new edu iPad for $299 but I think Apple has lost EDU race :(
As a CEO, I prefer having absolutely zero distractions on my work machine. I was a big fan of MacOS but even now that feels bloated to me when I use chrome
Very informative video. I am thinking of buying an Acer Chromebook spin 713. Is that the same thing. If not whats the difference. Or do I have to actually purchase a Google Chromebook.

I honestly would just get rid of that PC at this point. Even though ChromeOS is pretty light weight and can run on older systems, that's just too old. Browsing the web (the main purpose of a Chromebook/ChromeOS) will likely be very slow and not worth it. ChromeOS Flex requires at least 4 GB of RAM.
I have Microsoft Surface go tablet, I installed Chrome OS, I loved the OS simplicity, the clean desktop, the easy use of Google apps, the only issue I had, is the disabled wifi, I can't connect to wifi, I can't even activate it. I Can connect using my phone but not with home wifi.
This guy is right. Chrome is not for anyone not fully experienced with computers. For all others it is essentially crap. Forget the BS that Chrome is simple and fantastic for everyone. Basic problem is that it is designed by experienced experts who knew too much about computers but nothing about the needs of those and less experienced. Most simply said - they knew nothing about their own 'over'comings. On top of that the systems/machines seem to have minds of their own and do not function well - frequently just willy-nilly changing their own settings multiple times in any session of use. The 'Edsel' of the field and a waste of funds.
Is there an easy way to remote into a Chrome OS without the user doing much in their end except clicking on a popup button to allow such remote access? This is great for remote screen sharing so tech support can see what the problem is or teach people how to use Chrome OS.
I’m really tempted to get the hp chromebase as i use google drive and classroom alot. I give online lessons but can’t find any videos that mention using videoconferencing apps like zoom and teams on the chromebase. Any advice?
Chrome OS sounds great but I have started using pop OS on my laptop and I like how it runs I do need to figure out more things about it but I like how I can still play my steam games on it and use discord without much problems
🧑🏻Thank you, I just bought a Chromebox and Book because of their affordability and simplicity, and mostly for watching movies and online searching and shopping. 🧑🏻I will be watching more of your videos to broaden my Chrome uses. You are very generous. JB 🧑🏻
Can you execute your own written code on the computer running Chrome OS? In particular, is there a linux-like terminal that you can open and run commands?
Man... I'd love to try a chromebook. Sadly it's non-existent in Indonesia. People here are more likely to buy cheap laptop without OS in it and install pirated version of windows.
Well you can install chromium os on it, Im from Indo myself and I did it with zyrex sky xtreme, and it works really well, no problem on driver or anything

THIS one is awesome! I still use windows 11 sometimes, and they are like okay but way more complicated! As long as they can keep me in their store, or following Bing then they like me!

Excellent overview. Appreciated..Mohee from Doha....here they like MacOs or Windows...still mantality in middle-east for Windows or MacOs...even Linux are still afraid of using this amazing OS and more secure than Windows or MacOs!

Chrome OS is based on Gentoo Linux. The Linux kernel however can also boot android. I’ m not an expert by any means but this is how I got it explained
The first thing you need to install on a Chromebook is Linux :)
Lol
What do you mean by install Linux? Chrome OS is already Linux based distribution we just have to enable Linux virtualization from settings.

Not the OS login

Is there an easy way to remote into a Chrome OS without the user doing much in their end except clicking on a popup button to allow such remote access? This is great for remote screen sharing so tech support can see what the problem is or teach people how to use Chrome OS.
Unfortunately not... remote support is limited, frustrating
I want to 9:21 connect to my wi fi.
I’m really tempted to get the hp chromebase as i use google drive and classroom alot. I give online lessons but can’t find any videos that mention using videoconferencing apps like zoom and teams on the chromebase. Any advice?
The web versions of both of these apps work great. Zoom Doesn’t have all of the features of the desktop edition but it has most
My chrome book plays streaming apps in slo motion any tips for this issue

Chrome OS sounds great but I have started using pop OS on my laptop and I like how it runs I do need to figure out more things about it but I like how I can still play my steam games on it and use discord without much problems

Can you execute your own written code on the computer running Chrome OS? In particular, is there a linux-like terminal that you can open and run commands?
Yes if you install the Linux emulator or reflash the whole thing

If I want to make a TH-cam channel to do light video editing would chrome os be better for me than windows?
Good question, probably windows as chrome is really not great for editing unless you do it online using something like TH-cam studio or Canva
Man... I'd love to try a chromebook. Sadly it's non-existent in Indonesia. People here are more likely to buy cheap laptop without OS in it and install pirated version of windows.
You can use Neverware to install ChromeOS on most machines as an alternative

so it sounds like fancy name for android tablet
pretty much like an android tablet, with built in keyboard and mouse.
The OS is a little more sophisticated... it's a full desktop OS
THIS one is awesome! I still use windows 11 sometimes, and they are like okay but way more complicated! As long as they can keep me in their store, or following Bing then they like me! I like this Chrome OS way better than windows 11, I am 63, but still have my wits..This Chromebook was less than $200.! New out of the box!
Thanks for sharing!
I am very new to this crome os and really appreciate your help, but still I have challenges
You can do it!
How much storage you did not say
Depends on the machine
Excellent overview. Appreciated..Mohee from Doha....here they like MacOs or Windows...still mantality in middle-east for Windows or MacOs...even Linux are still afraid of using this amazing OS and more secure than Windows or MacOs!
Thanks for sharing!
