Two words that i never thought gonna be on the same sentence, "Gaming" and "Chromebooks"
"Gaming is terrible on Chromebooks"
"gaming" is often just a buzzword.
- gaming mouse
-gaming keyboard
-gaming mouse pad
Same with the words "Cloud" and "Gaming", they should be kept as far away from eachother as possible.
Chromebooks aren´t made for gaming.
@@loowick4074 to be fair, something like the old Razer Naga does actually qualify as a gaming mouse.
The most ridiculous thing would be gaming chairs
I mean, Linus wasn't wrong:
"a chromebook is still a Chromebook, no matter how much you spend on it."
More like ‘a chromebook is a pile of trash, no matter the price’
@@8xus_ I mean, it's useful for basic things like web browsing and for portability. I'm a college student and the amount of in-school work I've completed on a Chromebook is genuinely shocking. It really is the Web browsing and word processing thing.
@@TheSteam02 The only reason chromebook is a thing is because it costs around 200$. Chromebook for 700$ makes no sense at all
@@TheSteam02 cheap used thinkpad with linux does the same thing
Just like a bike is bike no matter how expensive it is
Gaming and chromebooks: goes together like peanut butter and glass.
It's a shame, because if Google got involved in building actual gaming Chromebooks (not that GeForce Now shit), we'd probably see some big advances in Linux gaming just like when Valve helped build up Proton.
ahh that's what google done with that google glass project...
well said
So it goes together amazingly?
I mean PB does come in glass jars sometimes
you could get an ACTUAL gaming laptop for that even for 500$
That's the point of the video...Dawid is basically saying "just buy a real gaming laptop instead of something that runs games off a server or something.
I... Am not sure that for 500 USD you will get laptop that actually can run games nowadays. What GPU will it have? Nvidia MX series?
Not that it won't be able to launch them, but run?
P.S. I don't know American pricing. In my country any laptop below 1000$ will be entry-level with less that GeForce level GPU and trash tier Intel integrated GPU at most
Can you though? $500 would be barebones minimum. It would be an i5, 8gb of ram, and a 1650. It would game at 30fps. I wouldn't even consider that to be worth it really. Idk, my laptop was $1300 and it pales in comparison to my 3 grand tower.
@@DimkaTsv i'd say you can probably squeeze a grx 1650 in it for under 500, I've seen 1650 laptops on sale around 500.
@@johngavin2570 Oh, wow, you are right. Laptops became cheaper since i last checked. I actually saw 1650 below 60000 RUR... Granted it is still about 700 USD mark. So in USA they should be cheaper especially taking in account taxation difference.
But they were around 1000 USD before
Never was interested much in this market, so i rarely look for prices.
I got that exact Asus tuf gaming, but the variant with 1660ti, 16gb of RAM and 1Tb space for the exact same price of the chromebook... And it obviously runs a whole lot better than what you'd expect, making the comparison with the chromebook even worse
I have the model showcased in this video, slapped a 16gb crucial ramkit into it (40 bucks on amazon) and another m.2 I had laying around. Really solid gaming laptop for the money investement.
BUT : The Tuf laptop is a pain in the a$$ to open up, too. Same plastic "cracking". No ribbon cable, though.
@@ph8enix yeah it's plasticky but ironically also sturdy. Only complaint I could make is that even for a gaming laptop in that budget range it can get REALLY loud, don't know about yours. Also obviously armoury crate kinda sucks but it can be turned off so
And you can cloud game on it 😄👍🏻
Yeah and weighs twice as much too. The whole point is to allow you to play games over the cloud without having to have all of the normally necessary hardware, hard drive space, and cumbersome weight on the laptop you're using to play the games.
I have same specs with lenovo legion 5 ryzen 5 4600h used but few month for 460$
the funniest part is that cloud was made specifically to being able to play in any hardware, so you can do it with a $200 one
Thats exacly my beast. 200 dollars and Ii got it 4,5 years ago. Works fine for cloud gaming. Speacially if you use external monitor.
Bought a chromebook for 1$ 4 years of use and its as good as the one in the vid for cloud gaming
@@theghostlyspirit6927 1 dollar?? Holy shit
exactly lol
@@theghostlyspirit6927 i assume you got it on ebay or a flea market?
Since the proper laptop actually has a built in ethernet port surely it would be better for cloud gaming as well as local gaming. What's even the point in this chromebook existing?
For GAYMING!
...to take money from people who want to game but don't know a thing about computers?
@@5izzy557 looool
To artificially increase the price by slapping the word gaming on it
@@TotallyNotRedneckYall Sadly it's this...
My $300 Ideapad 3 beats the shit out of this lmao. Asus guys where very high when they decided the price on that.
No they weren't. I guarantee many uninformed moms/dads and grandparents will buy this for that price.
@@KK-eg3em Thats very sad in this tech world. they get away because people don't educate themselves on how to spend their money effectively.
you dont understand, theres a 400 dollar tax to have the privilege of having the WASD keys in red
What display does your IdeaPad have?
@@mrducky179 yes and the ribbon cable thats under the chassis so you end up destroying it every time you open it up, that has another 150$ tax
The wireless Vs. wired experience you encountered was exactly my experience when experimenting with cloud gaming a few years back. There's something about wireless that cloud gaming just hates, and it's impossible. You HAVE to use a wired setup so it doesn't run like a ball rolling down a honey splattered ramp. And it has no ethernet port... wow.
Yeah wireless cloud gaming isn’t there yet. Ethernet port is 10000% necessary.
Because any wireless connection requires decryption of each individual packet which causes latency loss.
I’d NEVER recommend gaming on wireless
@Lurch I should have also added for some reason on phone it doesn't have the latency issues, something I also experienced. I believe that they push a lower render resolution since you're using a small screen. Also, my wifi router when I tested was literally 2cm away from the antenna. The weird thing was, there was almost no latency, but the frame stuttering and freezing kept up.
Overall, if you want to do this on a laptop or PC, you gotta use ethernet.
I want to add that GeForce now works great on macOS. I play sometimes at work or school on breaks. I have a gaming desktop and apart from the scree refresh rate and the size I can’t tell a difference between the 2. Maybe playing on 60hz compensates for the input lag and latency vs at home natively on 165hz? No idea
I use Xbox cloud gaming when I go to my mom's house so I don't have to take my Xbox one S with me and it works very good with WiFi on my alienware m17x r3 but they have very fast WiFi, the router is a Asus RT-N66R and the Internet connection is gigabit fiberoptic latency is usually 5 to 12 milliseconds, I used WiFi and the built in Ethernet on my laptop I played watch dogs 2 and Forza horizon 5 and there was no difference between WiFi and Ethernet I just got faster download speeds for updating my steam games on Ethernet.
The humor you put in the videos is outstanding 😂 really enjoy those details in every video, they make the video more appealing to watch.
I agree, it's fully why I've watch ALL Dawid's videos LOL
"Can you get it off in one tug"?
Davvid does sus stuff 😳
@@samholdsworth420 davvid
I never understood the reason behind Cloud Gaming. Sure the idea really seems amazing if you think about it, but the fact you have to pay monthly, get a decent laptop regardless, still pay for your games, and need to have Google's internet speed, just makes it worse than gaming on 10 fps. At least make the games free for that monthly pay.
What's also crazy, is that you can run Cloud gaming on the normal PC Laptop, you are practically paying extra for 3 Months of free premium cloud gaming. This is a product that cannot be justified in any form
as always, great video, Dawid!
yeah these chromobooks are worthless they are nothing but tablets with external keyboards there is really no point to them much like there is no point to tablets other then something small and lite to take with you on a plane or something like that.
I genuinely get excited every time you have a new video posted. Keep up the great work!
raw cardboard yummy
That Chromebook runs GeForce now games like my Toshiba satellite c660 laptop from 2011 which has an i3 2350 CPU and an Nvidia 350M graphics, both SoCs. I just think mine costs less, though the screen isn't 1080p. And did I mention it has expandable RAM?
So what you're saying is that gaming Chromebooks are just as expensive as an regular laptop for the price and are *fucking worthless?* Good to know!
Do you have 8+ gb ram in that Toshiba? If not, your point is invalid. Also how heavy is that Boulder, what kind of screen, and what's that battery life like...Oh, did I put salt in that wound? Here is some water to swallow that huge pill to...
Man dawid another great video . I love you're enthusiasm keep the videos coming
Your intro is so simple, but so good! I love it!!
5:03 Oh man, it _is_ the Asus special! I've seen it, on Asus laptops XD. Can't think of other manufacturers with equally egregious examples (where the cable is always too short to comfortably plug it in and leaves you ackwardly manhandling the laptop).
Others at least make the cable longer...
Had an acer laptop with the same thing, cable was even shorter than that
Wow, I thought it was just me! Freaking Asus, man!
If the Chromebook was $200 or less, this would actually be worth it. Something cheap you can give a kid and not have to worry. It should be the hamster of devices.
"What, Timmy? You spilled everything on your Chromebook? It exploded in a ball of death? Ohwell, we'll go get you a new one."
also $700 for an 11th gen i3 with iris xe graphics is a scam. if you love that cpu you can get one with the same specs (and more storage and expandable ram) you could get an ideapad 3 for $300 less
Hey! Recently found your channel and I've had a blast watching them, very entertaining. I am curious to the software you use to track GPU/CPU/MEM/RAM on your vids? Love the channel and subbed
found this chanel while looking for a gaming pc and now its became a daily thing to chill and watch dawid
I'd buy a steam deck instead
@The Polymath Podcast ok I've been debating between steamdeck and a gaming laptop for travel and taking to work. I have a pc at home. but I think I'll do what you did and upgrade the base version.
@@soloplaysgames9965 if you have budget limitations of about 500$ and want it to be new the steam deck specifically for work ain't the best, can do but, not the best, but for portable gaming the performance to price ratio, its pretty much one of the best if you want to buy new that is, very all around. Ofc all this while considering the formfactor.
Steamdeck vs Chromebook...That's some funny stuff. Like comparing a Orange to a Bell Pepper
have bought cheap Chromebooks and expensive ones. The experience is pretty much the same on either type. Waste of time spending too much as the eco system hamstrings it all the time.
Agreed - the expensive ones are a nice, slick, experience... but given that they are Linux under the hood... you might as well just install full-fat Linux and get a much less locked down experience. You can't do enough with a Chromebook to really warrant the expensive hardware of the top end ones.
Eexample?
Finally! I was wondering when this video would drop
i love the information and metaphors on this one :))
700 dollars? I paid that much for my Acer Swift X with an 8 core 5800 and a 3050ti! A chromebook at that price range is ridiculous
Yeah, and in 1998 a 4 door car was $15k, and had real leather...What's your point?
i got the asus cx55 gaming chromebook on sale for 500 and it's so amazing i would get it at full price if i had to
@@ulirasehorn yes, I bet that sucker can play roblox at 60fps all day
i can play roblox at 100fps on my chromebook.@@arghpee
I like the idea of streaming video games as it has the potential to bring games to people who otherwise would not be able to afford it. That said, if you want to stream games, an older laptop from ebay that has an ethernet jack on it will do the job just fine. you should not spend more than 1-200 on a thin-client unless your running a large business running business level hardware.
Dawid, please stop making your videos so good as I haven't seen my family in weeks.
I love starting my Saturdays with a pop tart and a Dawid video
The thing is if you want to use cloud gaming you can use it on a normal laptop also (and just disable the dedicated GPU to have less to no noise and lower power consumption)
I was waiting for someone to talk about one of these things
I came across an acer gaming chromebook as a Reddit ad. I was completely DUMBOUNDED by it. I posted the ad and the specs on the LTT subreddit and everyone else shared my confusion. Even someone who claimed to work in Acers marketing department claimed that even he had no idea why it existed other than to dissapoint children on Christmas morning.
I think the biggest thing here is the lack of an RJ45 port. I know most chromebooks don’t have them but when the functionality of the machine depends on how good the internet works, you should at least have a way to get a consistent internet connection without using an adapter
Alot of overpriced Apple Computers don't have ethernet, and they cost $$$..But they sell, and people use the. everyday
Truly impressive how far cheap, entry level gaming laptops have come. Makes sense though, its a pretty big market out there. I myself and several people I knew in college had cheap 500 dollar gaming laptops like the one you showed here.
Hey Dawid you should do a video on the Hp Victus pre-built. The Toasty bros really like it so i'd like to see your take on it. Thanks!!
Genuine question: if it's not cheap, what's the point of a Chromebook?
I think if the price is right there can be a point. There is a Lenovo model that’s around $430 and has an i3 and 8GB RAM. But the display is 16” 2560x1600p 120Hz 100% sRGB 350nit matte. That is a really nice display for $430. Obviously you could get something way more powerful for $500 with a GTX 1650, but if local gaming is not the goal (which it isn’t for most computer users) then the display alone is worth the productivity especially if you’re mostly doing cloud based office work.
its probably for those dipsht normies who work in tech firms. they are too use to Chrome OS that they can't switch back to windows for on the side gaming.
i wouldn't be surprised to see an iMac gaming notebook in the future as well. selling for triple the price of a decent gaming laptop.
Exactly, the price has to be right. That Lenovo does sound more like what I'd expect. But even then, does a display really affect productivity? Brightness and colour accuracy (for things like photo/video editing or design work, etc) sure, but does office work benefit from 120Hz?
Don't get me wrong, I definitely understand that a good display is nice to have when doing anything. But I don't see it being enough to justify the $700-$1000 they seem to be going for now. (at least I think there are non-gaming models going for those prices, I probably should've looked that up)
@@wombatcombat3770 "dipshit normies" you mean people with jobs?
@@drizzle8309 people with jobs could be anyone mate.
i just don't like people who choose products which start steam rolling trends which makes it difficult for people who actually want to own/repair their products.
That's pretty much what I expected, although I will say that my chromebook struggles to run a pdf so this is a bit of an improvement, albeit a very expensive one at that.
a gaming laptop that does not have decent networking which is needed for it's cloud gaming capability's🤣🤣🤣
My old Windows 7 Netbook, from years ago, could open a PDF...A little a stretch don't you think? Or whatever Rock you been under, you welcome to come out now.
I like your Sims Background music in all your videos !haha :D
Love how you always roast "gaming" stuffs the nicest way
Hey Dawid, I think this might going to be interesting! What if you swap out the SSD to another one with a Windows installed in it. Will it boot up, and how will the games perform compares with the Chromebook OS? Or maybe using an eGPU through that thunderbolt port?
The bios stop you from install.
Only with a hack bios .
And yes thare are .
You can instal windows on it
This is the reason the audio and the all other not work.
Windows do not see play and play.
And that is the limit of a Google Chrome book.
For me personally.
Its a e-washt
Its junk that only works for 3 years like your android phone and tablet .
After that you will not have security update .
So wy go for shit like that ?
Just go for a Windows tablet.
Its always update and more safe .
Speciale if you do connect with your bank .
The storage and ram are usually integrated into the motherboard, so you can't even upgrade either to begin with. You're just stuck with what you bought, basically.
@@Egg.Of.Glory999 the joy of eMMC modules lol
@@rigen97 true though
Could you make a playllist of your music? Its one of the things I enjoy about your videos :)
this is one of my new favorite channels
Just got a Chromebook for my mother in law ...they are GREAT for old people who just want casino games and Facebook 🤣🤣🤣
yeah but only getting the cheap ones because the expensive ones like these are just a waste of money 🤣😂
The yeah "I dunno it's convinced me, I don't think it's stupid anymore" had me howling at the end. I love your humour! Great content as always
However he was gaming at 1080p on a machine that cost 5x less than a basic modern gpu based pc. That has 3x the battery life, and 1/2 the weight...What about those facts, do they not matter?
@@creditrazer981 not in the slightest
I liked the quick "metal sample".
love having Dawid's hands waving in my face while watching this
the one computer i see not having a ethernet port is supposed to be a cloud gaming laptop? What was Asus thinking?
I got the Acer gaming chromebook for $450 when it was on sale. For general use, with the qhd display, it's really good. I've swapped to the beta chrome branch, installed steam, and can play simple games pretty well. $700 for the Asus? No way. There's a lot wrong with the Acer, but there's real potential in chromeos for gaming.
People once laughed at the idea of Chromebooks being used by schools, and look where we are....Give it some time, and decent gaming on Chromebooks at different price tiers will become a thing. If you're into retro pc gaming like me, then you can already enable the Linux vm, install and configure Dosbox, and play the classics with decent performance - and offline - with no issues.
A person by the name coolstar has made drivers for the chrome book. I would recommend you try them because it makes the experience much better
That was a quick conclusion bro
Dawid, almost no 2--in-1 allows for one handed opening. Gotta have stiff hinge so it doesnt wobble a ton and also so that when it wears out it will not flop flat
Oooo makes so much sense!
I actually saw a Chromebook the other day that actually comes with a Nvidia 2060 in it... But then thought to myself, wtf is even the point when there are absolutely no games that run on ChromeOS other than Play Store games.
Lol imagine using the ray tracing feature on minecraft
@@altemail541 was that not supposed to be a thing when the RTX series was first announced? But it never ended up happening.
No, you didn’t.
@@LambdaMiscellaneous except I did. At a store called Disc Replay in Kokomo Indiana. In fact it's still there.
@@GameTesterDev There’s literally no record of a Chromebook ever having any rtx card, and they’re designed to run web apps. You even have to go into dev settings to even enable Linux apps.
I love it when content creaters approach a review with an unbiased opinion....
5:02 in Bender's voice "OOOOOHHHH YEAAAHH! Show me them circuits baby!"
I laughed at the tricycle analogy much harder than I thought I would
Why does these exist
And what creatures buy them ??
Dawid did.
Because google is upset that Stadia have flopped hard so they need to feel like pushing cloud gaming on other already existing devices like Laptops to push this "Cloud gaming" to the extreme because it will be profitable in the future... Yet here we are 4 years later and cloud gaming it is still a fucking joke.
@@DarrenC_1024 he’s another breed
Dawid Invades Computers Personal Space lol. Great video as always man.
I'm just glad you found more work after being on the hit show "The IT Crowd"
wonder how a version of linux would do for trackpad and audio...hmm I'll still keep wondering cos there is no way I'd spend the money for that to find out! :D
Yeah and same issue, you could just buy a normal laptop and put Linux on it too so chromebook are still only useful if you need chrome os otherwise better get any other laptop
There is no reason. Since your still better off getting a LOW END LAPTOP for LOW END PRICE compared to this joke of a Chromebook Gaming machine. The only catch being that laptops sucks ass when it comes to Linux support. So your really best of getting a know good Linux laptop and not whatever random thing new. The main reason being that if the laptop got a dedicated GPU there is very often some hardware and software special terrible sauce going on to save on battery power by trying to switch between the iGPU and dedicated GPU on the fly. Windows Only more or less.
@@Natsukashii1111 Yeah but the thing is, You can put Chrome OS on any computer. In the official recovery tool by Google, there's an option to make an iso for non-chromebook computers, albeit a neutered version since you don't have the Linux dev tool, or access to Google play apps. Or you can use the brunch framework which is like hackintosh but Chrome OS, and it has those missing features.
The only real non-niche need that Chromebooks fill is having non-profit organizations needing to give people access to computers like Schools, or Charities.
Chrome os is gentoo Linux though.
@@famousmwofficial8046 No it's based on Gentoo. That's very different
bro 700 buck for a chromebook?
i got a 300dullar PC but it runs better.
6:25 asphalt is available for x86 too, iirc it is available on windows pcs and macs
love your vids. Informative plus entertaining and no VD included.
PS, get a steam deck instead of this chromebook. steam deck is one of the most amazing, handy and versatile pieces of tech I have ever bought and costs less.
700 for a Chromebook...
I would always go with an actual laptop in this price range :D
That it doesn't come with an ethernet connector directly is also a shame.
Plus all the limited applications that you can run on Chromebooks. A 10 year old ThinkPad that's like $45 used is a better option than this shit.
0:47 "Chroimebooks"
You Dawid are O.B.A.M.F. Love you stuff.
I missed it, but I remember them making Steam available for select Chromebooks a few months back. You weren't able to run the Chrome-native Steam with Proton enabled?
Someone please make a compilation of dawid saying "very plasticky " lol
You can buy a laptop with actual dedicated graphics for 6-700$ CAD.
Acer and MSI come to mind.
Won't be nice, but it will run most things low mids at 60
7:31 Looking at the payment tiers of geforce now and what you get... You would get more from a 5 year old laptop running linux and steamlink.
My only gripe is image quality suffers at 1440p. To where I can see the encoder lowering the quality of the stream sometimes.
Geforce now is 1 hour and what 720p, for free? That is a slap in the face. That is enough to add to my issues with even buying a nvidia product again, after my 3070ti.
Every video I watch I get an ad for gaming on a Chromebook now 😂
i bet asphalt runs better on the windows version on this laptop lol
What I consider interesting is that the 600 dollar notebook comes with identical specs to a MSI laptop I bought for 700 dollars (tax included) 6 years ago in 2017. Well it was a 4 core i5 back then but yeah :D
I wonder why there wouldn't be Win drivers for the other stuff, ie, mouse, sound, etc, because I would guess they are the same chips on other laptops.
These laptops exist because they're very very easy to make. The design and blueprints come directly from Google, all the marketing material comes from Google as well. Google will also give you contacts of manufacturers who've made their designs earlier. Cherry on top, they'll also pay you a percentage of manufacturing costs. All you really have to do slap your logos everywhere, publish them and wait for grand mothers to buy these as Christmas gifts.
This is a solution looking for a problem to solve. I wouldn't think this fad would last very long. These chromebooks will probably start popping up on eBay in the near future. Thanks for another very informative video.
Who want to buy this crap lol
Honestly i would actually love to have a chrome book with actual good specs.
5:58 ooooh that gap on the corner when he opens the chromebook is triggering me!
2:23 got real excited to see Dawid “get it off with one tug” 🥵
I got a laptop with a 10300h, 1660ti, , that has very good speakers, plenty of ports, a good 144hz panel, full size keyboard and 512gb of storage (though admittedly 8gb of ram in single channel) for less than he paid for that chromebook. This thing exists exclusively to prey on parents buying a chromebook for their kids for school but will let them "game" on it as well thinking it will keep the kid happy without buying another dedicated computer. Disgusting product destined for landfill.
I bought a laptop with an I5 11400h, 16gb ram, 512gb SSD and an RTX 3050TI for 799.99 GBP it's fairly decent, granted I don't use it for gaming much because i have a desktop, but for college work and some little gaming its a decent machine.
My brother actually bought one of these. But for himself, and he's 38. I can tell he was super disappointed with it, not that he was like super into gaming but he would play single player titles from time to time. I ended up giving him my 11900k 3080ti system when 4090 launched
700& to run games from the cloud. Is there a market for idiots, besides Apple, or what? For that money, buy an actual gaming laptop or if for some reason you want to game from the cloud, buy a 200-300 laptop lmao. (disclaimer: I'm obviously not talking about Dawid..)
You said it "For idiots." And yes, they do exist and there's a market for them.
“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
thanx again for the fun content !
Tank you for your video. I was actually curious about Chromebook for gaming. Definately not a path that I will take. Funny enough, I've been gaming with my Ipad Air with an XBOX controller using the Xbox Ultimate pass. It actually works like a charm.
6:33 Nah Dawid straight up killed that chromebook.
LMAO!
Do people actually buy Chromebooks?
Schools and tech illiterate people do.
I have one for traveling. Can’t bring my desktop and I don’t like taking my $1000 work/gaming/editing laptop when I travel.
$150 chromebook still lets me get a lot of little productivity tasks done if needed. Battery lasts forever. And I can play some PPSSPP while on the plane. Above all I’m not stressed out about breaking it or getting it stolen. It was so cheap and all my data is on Google drive rather than locally on the device.
@@MoChuang343 And for that it totally makes sense. However you didn't buy a "Gaming Chromebook."
@@BriFiConnections The PPSSPP android app runs fine locally.
And there is no windows laptop that’s $150 that can match the versatility of a cheap chromebook for travel. An old ThinkPad gets close, and while it has more performance and better app support, the chromebook has its perks. Better battery life, compact and light weight, and since it’s so low power I can even trickle charge it over night using a 5W USBC phone charger.
If I wanted to travel AND work then yes, I would go out and get like a used ThinkPad X250 for $150. But I want to go on vacation and NOT work, so I bring a chromebook which discourages me from working but allows me to remote into work if I really need to.
Elementary schools, the stupid, and the elderly do.
I was able to run a New world on a Yoga7 from Lenovo. At 720p. The loading times were super high when teleporting and it was a bit shoppy but I was able to farm MATs easily enough.
12:12 I had the same problems installing windows on a MacBook. Its because you need drivers for every single little thing.
Mac has their own bootcamp drivers for Intel ones
@@AncientED5 Yeah I tried the boot camp drivers, problem is the macbook air is from 2014 so all of the drivers are for Windows 7/8.1 and half of them wouldn't install
I can’t wait to run Google Stadia on this, especially since it’s probably the only game this laptop wants you to run
Too soon :(
"gaming" chromebooks may exist but so does computer virus... just because it exists doesnt mean its a good ideer 😂
pov: u dont know what a virus is and u get one. You: MOM MY CHROMEBOOK HAS COVID-19 HELP IM STAYING 2M AWAY
For anyone wanting a cheap gaming laptop theres a gaming laptop on micro center for 400 with rtx 3050, intel i5, 16gb ram, 512 ssd, and it will pretty much run any modern game titles
The glossy display lets you experience RTX feature without spending money on the RTX card, it's amazing design!
When your new "gaming laptop" comes with free GeForce Now, run back to the store for a refund.
Also exciting to hear that Asus was able to break a hole in the space time Continuum to create a 3 sided laptop screen. I love useless marketing jargon.
A gaming Chromebook, it's just a big joke. Chromebooks can't even run like a standard cheap PC, i.e., not for full function business suite, not for other browsers, of course. It's disturbing big tech companies are selling these for over $800, and some over $1,000's. I think new M2 Mac mini or M2 Macbook Air will even be better than gaming on a Chromebook, but you will get money back and get some real work done with Macs. Dawid, congrats installing Windows on it, I thought they didn't allow that with a Chromebook.
whats the computer performance monitor thing that you're using? I have an even worst chromebook (cpu has 2 threads) and I was wondering if I could do some fps testing with my limited chrome os.
Good video mate
First of all, cloud gaming is, and will remain, a joke. As you saw the inferior WiFi hardware in the Crapbook does it no justice either. I do not know what Asus or any of these Chromebook manufacturers want to proof, what that you can get extorted to play games? For your paid service to stop working one day because the cost of maintaining the hardware in the datacenter is too expensive? One could indeed purchase a good base gaming laptop, but let us ask the question: WHY? Why have we still not discovered that it is all bandaids and throttle with the small chassis and the super expensive hardware if you want any performance? The noisy, hot mess that is a gaming laptop is just a joke in 2023. But that was PC gaming in the late 90's, and early beginning of the century as well. Second observation is that Asus and all these idiots in that build a larger than 13" laptop squeeze the heck out of the keyboard usability by adding the stupid numpad. Instead of centring the trackpad and give a bit more room to the keys and maybe some GOOD up-firing speakers? Putting Windows on it is also stupid because now you have to buy a Windows license. Why not Linux and Steam. Hardware that is not upgradable and the slow PCI3 SSD makes it just a hot, laughing, mess.
I hate android and the same applies to google's desktop OS.
My 550$ laptop had the same specs as this thing but with a 256 gigs SSD + 1 TB HDD, anti glare display and upgradeable ram
But doesn't have any usb C ,metal body, RGB , tablet mode flip hinge thingys or a touchscreen
Good job David!
lol typical asus bullshit.
Tablet with a lid.
what kills this thing is of course the price... and it being a fully capable windows computer. but like a bunch of manufacturers like acer, they ship their gaming laptops with linux so they dont have to pay for licenses
I'd love to see a chrombook that was actually high quality cuz I love the chrombook ui
I used to like geforce now when it was in beta. Once it changed to not including your entire library to select titles it became kinda useless.
What luck! A new Dawid video!
