I think it's a poorly thought out idea & product. From what i saw the cloud gaming specific Chromebook is definitely a gimmick. As you said cloud gaming is about making an idea real that you could play those AA & AAA titles that you couldn't then because you could not afford a gaming rig or you wanted to be able to play anywhere and in any device with your friends. Cloud gaming is nowhere near its potential at present, but when it does, the community that it will bring together will be a sight to see.
Would love to see someone *ahem* do a side by side comparison of the feature sets/abilities of cheap laptop/chromebook, a cheap gaming laptop, and one of these chromebooks to really highlight how silly it all is.
These were already designed and probably started production prior to Google's announcement. Which is hilarious to me, and a reason for these manufacturers to never collaborate with Google on gaming again in the future.
Stadia was a self fulling prophecy for consumers. They assumed Google would cancel it because of history and they didn't support (buy it)....as a result, Google canceled. Kinda unfortunate honestly.
I picked up an Ryzen 5600H - 3050ti - 120hz screen - 16gb ram from Amazon for $699 3 months ago. No WAY would I ever pick something like this for that price.
@@ReetPandher it doesn't matter cuz it was probably on sale, so it may not even be on sale anymore. You should check around black Friday and you'll find similar models for the same price. Good luck

Right alongside you here. Like I don't get why Google is always trying to reimagine niches and reinvent what works. ChromeOS is great on it's own. Why not fine tune the Android App experience, give it more desktop productivity features and professional application compatibility, pit it against iPadOS, and showcase it in a folding/extending "Pixel Tab Pro" or "Chromebook Fold"? Same goes with the Project Ara modular phone, Stadia, and tons of other dead ventures. Why kill it when you could have reiterated, collaborated with rookie modular phone brands at the time (Motorola, LG, Teracube, Fairphone, & Shiftphone), and partner with YT Streaming creators to demonstrate/fine-tune what would have been the killer feature of jumping into the same matches with or against friends!?
There are a huge number of honest reviewers, simply the algorithms would never allow them to reach the top, as otherwise the owners will loose a lot of $.
The reason this came out is because Google probably didn't let the chromebook gaming know that stadia is going out and the other team had to launch a product in a category that was dead anyway to land impact for the PMs.
Well these are made by 3rd party companies so they probably made a deal a long time ago to make these and there was no point in canceling and rebranding the devices, cuz they're just chrome books.
I have one of those, bought it at launch, still use it daily. It's still update supported, and has worked flawlessly since day one. To me yes it was pricey but worth every penny and I LOVE it. To me that was Peak Chromebook. Super thin elegant, great keyboard, great display, awesome battery life and a beautiful design. Was hoping for a successor but Google Googled it to death.
@@cesarespinozaspain still doesnt change the fact that its not worth the price. there are lots of other laptops with the same specs and thats cost less than $600.. edit: for some reason you changed your entire comment instead of just making a new one so my comment wont probably make much sense anymore
@@cesarespinozaspain I'm not really speaking for you but in general. It doesnt matter what you feel because fact is the one you bought is overpriced for its specs.You bought the brand and not the value
The G Hub would've looked really interesting a year ago before I went and built a PC once I could finally afford it. I was into cloud gaming and really liked it before that. But now the Steam Deck exists and it makes it look so pointless for that price.
A couple months ago I got a Lenovo Y540 with a 1660-Ti (not Max-Q), an i7-9750H, and a 144Hz screen for about $625-650 as my travel laptop. It’s crazy they’re trying to sell this for $700 as a “cloud gaming Chromebook” when deals like the Lenovo are out there in the used market.
Where did u buy it from ? What about warranty? I have a 2019 Predator Helios 300 1660ti already.. i need another one in family. ... im planning a triton 500 or similar.
G cloud is more compact, cheaper and has much better battery life IF someone only wants something for cloud gaming. Biggest benefit being battery life IMO but yeah I agree a steam deck is the better buy
The greatest thing for me about cloud gaming (Microsoft XBox Cloud) is that you get an RTX performance and graphics experience on low-end hardware. The deciding factor is the speed of your broadband connection, but the likes of Forza Horizon 5 or Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 on a mediocre laptop, but a fast connection? Amazing!
@@camfio3266 Yes I get that, and for competitive gaming and shooters the lag is an issue. I've got fast broadband and the input lag is tiny, almost negligible for the games I mentioned. With my current hardware I never thought that it'd be possible to get any performance at all but seeing as how all the processing is done by the Microsoft servers and sent down the wires, the gameplay is a feast for the eyes. Fully loaded graphics, no missed frames, super responsive, and all for around £15 per month. It all depends on the games of course, but not all of them require lightning-fast reflexes to play. Streaming is great value for money compared to the cost of a high spec laptop.
@@Sonny_Sideup I think the concept of a streaming game is that your computer isnt actually the one running the game you can play the most high end game on a shitty laptop. The server just shows you a video of the game as in runs that game so its no different from watching an interactive youtube video
@@camfio3266 it depends on where you live. I tried GeForce Now beta in 2018, lived in Miami and had 10ms ping to the closest GFN server, combined with the 120 Hz mode it was great. I didn’t own a gaming computer back then, but I had a great experience. If you don’t get that latency to the server it’s definitely not worth it.
I like the ideas and the benefits but honestly I don't want cloud gaming. Everything has been changing to people owning their stuff to being licensed in digital form and now everything is a subscription service. Cloud will be worse and I hope it doesn't go mainstream, it's nice for those who don't have high end hardware tho so I don't want them go away either lmao
i mess with dave2d as a channel. The way he talks to the camera makes it feel like hes talking directly to me, also love that hes passionate about what hes talking about! Im all ears homie
Bought a Galaxy Tab s7+ used for like $450. I now have access to all cloud gaming. I never use it for cloud gaming. I think the real conversation about low end handhelds is Emulation. My s7+ is awesome for Dolphin, 3DS, DS, N64, etc... It's also an EXCEPTIONAL tablet for entertainment and light photo editing in Lightroom.
I honestly feel the same with the Logitech G Cloud handheld. For that price, just grab a Steam Deck (save 50 extra dollars), and not only have the cloud gaming experience, but also the native experience..
The sad thing is if you took the “gaming” out of gaming Chromebook they would be great devices with no hate. The Lenovo one has a 2560x1600p 120Hz 350nit 100% sRGB display and was on sale for $400 with a core i3 and 8GB RAM. That is a productivity workhorse for a chromebook. Great screen real estate and enough power and battery life for most office users.
True words! Cloud gaming is a long term business that will grow organically over the years. Companies that get in early now and wait will gain the most, but it won’t be quick… not enough for Google.
Okay so I “cloud game” constantly: using WireGuard and Moonlight to access my gaming PC at home. It works wonderfully, I grabbed a Backbone One controller and turned my spare old iPhone XS into a gaming dedicated device, but I also sometimes connect in at lunch and play Elden Ring from my work PC too. Cloud gaming can work, but it’s about using the devices you have. A spare phone and a good wrap around controller makes for a great device. A better device than the Logitech one is the Retroid Pocket 3, and it’s less than half the price, and plays local emulators too!
The $350 Logitech Cloud Gaming device you have is no different with its lack of value to the Chromebook your reviewing. Because if you pay $50 more you can get a Steam Deck which supports Cloud gaming and can also play games with its own dedicated hardware that supports them. You're right about the Logitech Handheld filling a niche, but it would only do that if it was cheaper at say around $200.
To take advantage of that 120-144Hz screen you have to have Geforce Now RTX 3080 plan, where you can stream 1600p 120fps or 4K 60fps, if not, you're only streaming at 1080p 60fps. But yes, these laptops are just too expensive
I think these laptops make more sense when you consider Google is working to implement native steam support. Still don't know why they leaned so hard into the cloud ready stance. I think it'd make more sense to delay these laptops and market them as light gaming laptops and cloud devices in one
This is how I feel after “upgrading” my Google Wi-Fi mesh with an ASUS ROG Strix 5400 “gaming” router and took a huge hit downstairs in gaming abilities. I’ll probably be going back to the new Nest Pro mesh soon.
That last comment was exactly right. The whole point of cloud gaming should be about the ability to play anywhere on anything. If we wanted gaming hardware we would get real gaming hardware.
Thanks Dave for calling a spade a spade. Google has moved far and wide-off from their 'do no evil' paradigm. Its now like any other sundry hard-ball sales driven company (very Amazon esque ). Calling something like this specially made for cloud gaming which was designed to make gaming more accessible is an absolute travesty. Go take a hike Google, you can do better !
Even with the logitech handheld you talk about, it's $400. You could buy a Steam Deck for that and be able to both stream games and play games locally from the console itself
Google and Tesla will never do that. They'll just do the bare minimum and abandon it. Get a better government. You have a much better chance to get better internet that way.
Cloud gaming in general just is not there yet and it probably won't ever be. Even if internet speeds become fast (and most importantly stable) enough everywhere to support that kind of streaming, the input lag is ALWAYS going to be higher than if you were using dedicated hardware in the room. It's just never going to be the same experience as using your own hardware.
The success of xCloud shows exactly what cloud gaming should be - an add-on to an existing service, instead of a standalone-offering that only works sometimes. What's great about xCloud is as long as I have my phone, I can "take my xBox with me", so to speak, and get some gaming sessions in here and there, then when I'm home I can fire up the xBox and get the full-fat experience.
If they were offering these at the same price but with hardware on par with the entry level Steam Deck... They might have had a killer deal on their hands. Unfortunately... This is reality.
I feel like the IdeaPad Gaming is actually not a bad buy (just not for gaming), if you want a high refresh screeen it's only $399. The others are a bit of a sham.
There was something somewhat unhinged about this review / critique and i love it. Tossing the controller in the beginning gives you a taste of the restrained anger throughout 😅 yo for that price, the steam deck in comparison is so worth it, every time.
2 month ago Nvidia finally had GeForce now where I live, it's amazing and works perfectly, I am a Faceit level 9 CSGO player and I didn't notice the latency, the only problem is the library, EAsports, Valorant and many big titles aren't available, once it is am never going to use my gaming PC ever again.
Promotions at google are largely dependent on "launching something big" and dont take into account how many of these services they launch will actually make someone's life easier/that someone wants. Hangouts , allo , stadia all are examples of this. That explains this and every other service they launch/will launch.
Google stadia was an amazing service. What made it fail was the lack of current favorite games like COD, Apex, Fortnite and other competitive games. Those games would've gotten more people on board. But they focused on family friendly and casual games instead. But aside from that, the tech was amazing. The lack of games made me switch to GFN.
And this way you don't possess a damn thing, no? Not even the hardware capable off and not even the games because it's a subscription. So totally at the edge of the industry palm and they intent to charge you several time for the same thing.
I just heard high refresh rate screens for cloud gaming laptops and immediately thought "are there even that many services or games that stream over 60 fps?"
Remember when the popup Cameras in phones became a trend? Many companies implemented it. They stick with the trend, sell bunch of phones, then the trend dies, they dump the idea. Same happening with chromebook. But lot worse than popup cameras.
On Spot Dude !! Cloud Gaming and Gaming Hardware are two different things. People go for cloud gaming as they dont have gaming hardware. Google is crazy
what's your take on these laptops? legit? or nah? would any of you want to pick one up over a cheaper gaming laptop?
nah. idk why you would go for this instead of an actual gaming laptop

“How do I get rid of this reflection?!” 😂😂😂
2 month ago Nvidia finally had GeForce now where I live, it's amazing and works perfectly, I am a Faceit level 9 CSGO player and I didn't notice the latency, the only problem is the library, EAsports, Valorant and many big titles aren't available, once it is am never going to use my gaming PC ever again.
Legit/Honest TH-camr i ever seen! 💙
Also, as usual love the way you explain stuff.
This whole thing is hilarious! I believe they had these laptops planned out before they killed off Stadia but it’s too late to kill these.
It's like stabing into something and you forgot you wounded it Google is completely lost
Dave your watch selections are impeccable I love the choices as a fellow watch person lol
I love Stadia. It's perfect for people like me who enjoy gaming but not enough to invest in a gaming system.
@@henryalamillo8312 Stadia was a great product it's just Google is impatient
Anxiety level when he threw that controller🤯📈
Every device no matter what the specs are,can be considered "Gaming" if you have very fast internet connection
I like that you incorporated that "Blade Runnery" vibe. Looks awesome dude!
Promotions at google are largely dependent on "launching something big" and dont take into account how many of these services they launch will actually make someone's life easier/that someone wants. Hangouts , allo , stadia all are examples of this. That explains this and every other service they launch/will launch.
Dave speaking and me paying attention to his watch. Excellent choice!
Wow, Google be doing the most lately
Google stadia was an amazing service. What made it fail was the lack of current favorite games like COD, Apex, Fortnite and other competitive games. Those games would've gotten more people on board. But they focused on family friendly and casual games instead. But aside from that, the tech was amazing. The lack of games made me switch to GFN.
And this way you don't possess a damn thing, no? Not even the hardware capable off and not even the games because it's a subscription. So totally at the edge of the industry palm and they intent to charge you several time for the same thing.
Dave can you do a video on what tech u use? laptops, phones, headphone etc please?
Google is going to make absolutely everything. They're going to take over soon lmao
Not even remotely true.
@@stuartstogdill2406 i hope you're right!
This video was a bit like a preacher rant, but I 100% agree with you! I hope other TH-camrs can share honest opinions like you do Dave! 👍🏻
I just heard high refresh rate screens for cloud gaming laptops and immediately thought "are there even that many services or games that stream over 60 fps?"
Remember when the popup Cameras in phones became a trend? Many companies implemented it. They stick with the trend, sell bunch of phones, then the trend dies, they dump the idea.
Same happening with chromebook. But lot worse than popup cameras.
Great vid! And I have to say, that Logitech looks soooo good! Dammm
I was waiting for your Google pixel watch review and miss you saying "thumbs if you like and subs if you love the video"
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing it. ✌️
Heij Dave!
Are the walls on your right concrete or drywall?
Ufff, the lighting broo.
Perfect Review! 🙂👌🏼
Manufacturers: Gaming chromebook.
Inigo: You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means....
On Spot Dude !!
Cloud Gaming and Gaming Hardware are two different things. People go for cloud gaming as they dont have gaming hardware. Google is crazy
They are completely insane
The whole video was just speaking facts great video Dave !!
