Bruh my Chromebook crashes multiple times in a row opening up _Chrome._
I can even search on chrome without it crashing like wtf

That’s really oof
Hope you get windows or mac! Chromebooks are trash.
"Oh no, did you game just get interrupted by an update?"
OH NO, DID YOUR VIDEO GET INTERRUPTED BY A 15 SECOND UNSKIPPABLE AD?
Oh no, did your video just get interrupted by a misleading ad? Well, never switch to chromebook for gaming!
Idk why but the voice used for the ads is annoying.
Oh no did you disable auto update? Oh boy does ur laptop ask you to update???? Did your pc update on startup??? Wow it didnt update while u using it!
I been on a chromebook before these ads, and they are not really misleading
i would say one of the worst things about my chrome book is the fact that it sometimes buffers videos. i can watch 2 secs and then it’s back to loading
Remember, this garbage is given out to nearly every student.
"Chromebooks: the only laptop where run 3 retains an average of 10 frames per second or lower."
And the admins are dick heads. No youtube no app store no files no nothing. The only real way to unblock stuff is to jail break the chrome book
For school work these are perfectly adequate.

It can handle zoom but screen sharing crashes the laptop. Aslo if you want to game with this the game you will be playing is roblox.
Like legit, why would you write malware for chromebook? What are you going to steal? Their homework?
exactly. also its about market share. macbooks didn't get viruses until they had enough market share for it to become viable for the people making the viruses.
@@arkethel the percentage for people who has a chromebook as their daily is stupidly low, most of the time it's schools that use them for students since it's one of the most affordable laptops for most apps used in schools
Google claims there are no Chromebook viruses, probably false too. It may be hard to infect one, but there are probably viruses, especially through Crostini and Google Play.
One might want to write malware to brick all chromebooks to rid the world of them, but other than that I can't think of a reason.
@@arkethel yes so that they can add, lets say, porn to their Chromebook so they have to face the consequences.

I actually had a school chromebook crap out on me, because I didn't install an update. Google claims that you wont get interrupted by updates, well at least my windows computer and iphone still work when I neglect to update them.
One time my school chromebook failed to install an update normally despite the fact I did everything right, and what happened was that every time I closed my chromebook, I open it and the chromebook restarts the entire laptop (if you can even call that pos a laptop)

They work just fine, I don’t know what you’re on about. Celeron chrome books are more than capable enough for google docs and Chrome
Ads: "Get a Chromebook, with less than 10 second boot times"
Me: "Just buy an SSD for your existing computer..."
And install Linux
I mean, BeOS R4 was released back in 1998 and it would boot on most any Windows machine in under 10 seconds even though it was running on ANCIENT hard drives that were never anything remotely like fast.
or just be patient
Rebeca black gaming pc its the perfect oporating system its programming profection is only matched by its anti virus, I admire its pureity, unclouded by microsoft and apple spy ware and viruses.
I think my PC just barely goes above 10 seconds, but thats mostly because the BIOS takes easily 6-8 seconds. Then again, it has a fast boot mode and an ultra-fast boot mode, and I have neither enabled, so arguably im at fault myself. Then again, in the ultra-fast mode the only way to get into the BIOS is either through an obscure windows setting or by jumping the CMOS wires, and I wont risk that until Im done tweaking. Its not worth a few seconds boot time.
I “accidentally” infected my school chrome book with 15 different viruses. I hate those things. They won’t let me use my own computer for school stuff and make the school install their shitty testing software. School problem, not chrome book.
I installed mine with wannacry
Its weird as fuck. I graduated high school last year and in college we use our own laptops and they dont even install any software to monitor us. I literally take tests and can look up the answers if I want to. No camera monitoring, no locking me in the test tab, no teacher monitoring, nothing. So basically what im saying is high school sucks balls you gotta get outta there my guy.
@@dannydevito7000 To be fair, there's a reason for that. It's a difference in mindset:
Everyone's required to go to high school. You're expected to learn the curriculum. So high schools do their best to force you to learn (with debatable effectiveness).
Colleges, on the other hand, take the philosophy of "You chose to come here to learn. Heck, you're _paying_ us to learn. If you choose not to learn from us, that's your problem."
@@TheOneGuy1111 you’re right, I don’t see why someone would bother cheating in college why be there if you aren’t trying to actually learn anything
See the problem is my Chrome book is already infected with "school stuff"

I’ve literally never had Windows 10 force an update while I was playing games in my entire life
It was sort of a thing back when Microsoft released Windows 10 years back. This program would almost always push the user using windows 7-8.1 to upgrade. It was very annoying
I do think it’s a bit stupid that chrome book would use that as an example just now instead of when it was relevant
Fuzzy Cactus This exactly!
Exactly.
i’ve never had windows force an update period. it’s always “hey, update required, want me to remind me later?”
The entire reason my school has Cromebooks is because you can’t get any games lol, I mean they’re good for school though. (I’m someone who got a cromebook for school work so IMO, I got what I wanted)

and yeah i agree with your point, but chromebooks still seem scummy.
I guess so, it’s just easier to regulate I guess? I can’t see any other benefit besides that.

Windows 10 has never randomly updated for me, I have to click restart or shutdown for it to happen.
Yeah, if you don't postpone updates for ages, Windows won't "randomly" update on you.

I actually have the oppsite issue. I tell windows to update over night so it can be done in the morning. I then get on to see a promt asking me if I am ready to update.
Never had an issue with updates on my pc. Windows sends a little pop up window asking for an update (sometimes not even that) and I'm like ok cool. Let me just play my video games first. 5 hours passes and it gives me a shut down and update option when I'm about to turn off my pc. Takes a minute and Done.

Why are they not marketing this to college students?
Because their not good for collage students only for education in elementary and maybe middle school
Anthony Plays I used a chrome book throughout high school and it was decent enough to play videos and games. I stopped using it in senior year as I decided to use my windows laptop instead.

@@Vondra666 well I was toping to just use my PC since I'm used to windows
A few points regarding your experience:
1: Cheaper Chromebooks are absolutely like cheaper laptops. You'll get what you pay for - a terrible user experience. No doubt most places using Chromebooks will also be using the cheaper ones - almost guaranteeing it's no better than your average "friend's old budget-friendly Dell/HP PC that's kept in the kitchen for their younger siblings and computer illiterate parents to run into the ground".
2: Are you 100% sure you didn't attempt to use the laptop casually and only used it for productivity? (i.e. probably google drive/docs, and your typical web browsing experience - not social media, but just viewing pages, doing research, etc..?). Many of us consider the internet to be more than googling a question: it can include some online games (html5, previously flash games), and using things like Facebook, email, and other types of social media and media consumption, and unfortunately, many of those things are surprisingly heavier weight than one might imagine, especially on a low-power device attempting for a full desktop internet experience. I'm doubtful people today would consider such things lightweight, but many still do, so it's something to consider - even people repurposing older Windows systems run into this caveat.
3: If it's overall slowness, did you confirm other devices aren't being slow at the same time in the same area (house, library, etc.)? Many eLearning sites, at least when I was still in high school and college honestly sucked, so any device, limited-access school computer/laptop or my own devices just... was terrible, and made me think very little of the school systems until I confirmed it wasn't just their computers (or mine)
Chromebook boot up in 12 seconds, but take 2 minutes to start everything up after that. That's slower than most hard drive computers from the early 2010s.
As someone who has both used a modern day chromebook, and owns a computer from 2012 (integrated GPU, low end, £300 (as of 2012) PC)... I can confirm this.
My pc boots everything in under 20 seconds, just because of SSD power.
my 2017 laptop loads the same as early 2010s laptops ig ://
it takes a little bit to load, so wait a minute but everything is great from that!
Mine gets hot and I mean, literal heat radiation.
Most annoying ads behind 5G Verizon. The everything button is just "tab"
My school: We will have every. Single. Freaking. Chromebook. In existence.

For that first AD, I will absolutely debate how annoying Windows updates can be when you're trying to just shutdown the computer late at night (or whatever), but I can confidently say that NOT ONCE, not a single time have I EVER had my computer forcibly shutdown for a Windows update in the middle of game. Windows always prompts when it wants to do an auto-update with the ability to postpone it to the next shutdown. If you ignore the super obvious prompts, or don't postpone the update,
at that point it's on you, not Windows.
Edit: Now some more comments...
- Are they seriously claiming you can game on a Chromebook, where even the highest end (expensive) Chromebook products have relatively low specs. They're built for light office work and internet-browsing Google, stop trying to sell them as something they are not.
- Nowadays Windows Defender is more than competent enough for most people. If you want something else, there are also PLENTY of free options out there.
I would not personally advise anybody to actually pay for anti-malware, unless the person you're installing for is the kind of person to run into a lot of ID10T problems
(and might benefit from the extra customer support).
- Like Linux, most of the defence for a Chromebook seems to be "security by obscurity". Because Windows is by far the most popular consumer OS, of course people are gonna make viruses for Windows, because that's where they can cast the biggest net. There being hardly any Chromebook viruses should not qualify as "built-in protection".
- Boot times vary for all computer, based on age and specification. Citing a universal boottime is just a bad idea, cause it can be so easily disproven.
- The rest of these aren't even unique selling points... It can download Netflix videos to watch offline, big whoop, almost ANY computer can do that. Has a long battery life, again big whoop, so do a lot of modern Windows laptops in similar price ranges (with generally better specs).
Double Edit: See @miss barfin's reply
The OS is not incompatible with most games
you can't play all games but you can play most of your games
also chrome os is not like linux, it actually runs linux with extra google libraries which makes it easier to run linux and android apps without emulation
you can install Linux version of steam you can play +65% of your steam library games even some windows only games thanks to a computability layer created by valve called proton
it's obviously not perfect and i'm not saying anyone should ditch windows for chrome os if they are a gamer but saying that you can't play games or pc games on a chromebook is as stupid and misleading as those Ads
@@Dr.Mohandes I didn't actually think of that, you're right...
Though saying ChromeOS can play games by virtue of being a linux fork is kinda misleading on their part too, as you could just install Linux on a regular machine without leaving so much performance on the table.
@@G3HP I agree that chrome OS shouldn't be advertised for gamers or gaming in general because gaming is really not what chrome OS for
no one should ever buy a Chromebook for gaming because windows is obviously the king of PC gaming
but if anyone owns a Chromebook they might be able to play their favorite game
especially if it's made by valve or it's a indie game
saying that you can't play PC games at all on a Chromebook is simply not true
a lot of games simply don't run like valorant or rainbow six siege because of anticheat issues
some games are playable but have issues like gta 5
it runs well and it's playable both single player and multiplayer but you can't play using FiveM because it needs a feature that is needed by FiveM which is not implemented in valve's proton
and some games run perfectly fine without any issues like Dota2 or plague inc or all of the Tomb Raider and Deus ex games
@@Dr.Mohandes Chrome OS shouldn't be advertised as anything more than a Google Chrome optimizer. There isn't a single thing I'd say Chromebooks can do better than literally any other laptop in its price range.
Literally the only people I'd recommend a Chromebook to are older people who don't know how to use a computer and high schoolers who can't seem to own a PC without downloading malware.

I hilarious that google is marketing a laptop that can’t even run TH-cam at 4K as a laptop that can play actual games
I think TH-cam quality matters on internet speed but I’m not sure
Yeah it’s mostly internet speed, but rendering a 4K video in realtime also takes a bit of effort, a chromebook which is optimized to only run a web browser doesn’t quite have this processing power
And that’s rendering from a pre-rasterized video, all the image data is there it just has to display to the screen, imagine trying to rasterize then render a 3D scene with reflections and visual effects, like most games nowadays do..
Wait, a Chromebook can't run 4k videos?
...wow, even my decade-old laptop could still run 4k videos (albeit 30 fps only)
Lord Potato my chromebook can run 4K videos
Edit: videos at 4k
@@sodiboo you only need 15-20mbs to render 4k, and they are already working on 4k editing, wtf are you talking about, its like you live in 1990, my internet is 1200mbs btw because its fucking 2020 and rendering 4k is literally easy and seamless as fuck. the issue is the processor of a chromebook will burn out streaming it to a 4k television over time dimwit...it's not capability at all, it's sustainability. A typical large screen normally requires at least a quadcore(you'd really want 8) processor before damage wouldn't be done to a laptop, and most chromebooks come in 2 or 4, the older ones even being single processors. As for the video capability itself, just plug it into a '4k hdmi' like no shit it will work lmfao you're so god damn dumb, and if you weren't using a chromebook to play on an 80" screen and just used it's native screen like idk, a reasonable person, then there is literally no issue at all. the fact is, using a laptop to power an 80" screen will damage any device, so these comparisons are always fucking stupid to chromebooks. I've blown out several laptops to this issue, not just chromebooks duh.
The economic model of chromebooks also seems reasonable to me. Rental plans make the low cost effectively low cost access to the internet. They have a student program, where you can get one for $15/yr as a rental, this wouldn't be possible with lots of expensive components. The fact it can also play Path of Exile at indistinguishable difference to a modern PC with adequate internet connection, is just a benefit.

Now whenever I get those ads my brain just shuts down for 15 seconds because I dont want to hear that damned voice.
If I were to make an add it would be like "Is your PC laggy? ... Get a better one." (Shows product and price)
Omg. Thank god im not alone. Idk whats with her voice but she physically hurts me every god damn time i hear her voice. Its that really annoying tone in her voice.
The only demographic I do actually see Chromebooks being used for is for either elementary, middle, or secondary school systems. The lower end Chromebooks are pretty cheap, and there is pretty much 0 need for performance, even if it is trying to work a Google Docs file. Anything beyond those basics though and the Chromebooks become effectively worthless.
My high school uses them and oh god. I have to have 1 tile on google meets to even hear the teacher. It’s so shitty
My chromebook had 2gb of ram and was utterly useless for anything except 1 tab of Google docs
I got a Chromebook for my computer iliterate mom to browse Facebook and read her mails and its perfectly fine for that use. For anything more taxing than that i really wouldnt recommend a chromebook.
I'm in high school and I tend to use my laptop instead of the school chromebooks which I haven't touched in months. Once I was upgrading my ssd to an nvme and had some problems with the boot drive so I had to use my chromebook for a few days while I fixed it. It's so bad. It takes a whole 5s to open a new tab, minutes to get onto canvas, and I felt so limited by the os. I was glad to get back to my computer with an nvidia 1550, Intel i7 9th gen, and 16gb ram. The difference was so clear.

Technically speaking, any virus that runs on an Android device will run on ChromeOS since it IS just a modified Android OS.
In other words, Chromebooks have an absolutely massive and terrifyingly sneaky library of viruses to watch out for.
it's not the same, it has the same file type as android but it's not android.
@Paradoxical Nightmare It doesn’t really work like that. Not only is Android heavily sandboxed on Chrome OS, but there is no way to install software on Chrome whatsoever outside of Google’s app platforms and VM Linux. If you’re just using what’s available in the Play Store, the only way anything malicious can properly get into your system is via a Trojan-compromised app download. The OS is, from what I can gather, impervious to _viruses_ specifically.
