It's been a while since I've seen Robby this excited about a Chromebook. So excited for this and the future of Chromebooks.
yeah
Naa, he was like a kid in a candy shop with the CX5
Looks like an amazing device! Can't wait for the review!
I'm excited for the review we'll get in 6-8 weeks.
Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, heh. In case it is, +1 I can't wait to get the full review either and I really hope it doesn't take that long!
I'm really excited about the CX9. It has all the makings of a great chromebook.
for that sort of pricetag it certainly should be amazing. Another nice thing about the power adapter is that if you travel abroad you can get the plug for the place you're going which can work out better than using a plug adapter
Looks amazing. Looking forward to the review
This doesn't look like a Mazda CX9 to me, am I in the wrong place?
Of course kidding
What has become very important to me is audio quality. I have come to appreciate the Pixelbook Go for the sound quality. I am anxious to get your review on the C9. Thanks in advance!
+1, I hope it matches or exceeds PIxelbook Go!
Nice to see some Chromebook excitement
Wow! Just wow! This is how you do it. High-end Chromebooks that feel and look the part without costing as much as Pixelbooks. Sadly, this will cost more than the latest Macbook since I will have to import it here in the Philippines. Macbook Air 16g ram with 1/2 terra mem ($1570)...this Chromebook estimate price is $2100 above due to shipping and taxes 😭 ..but I'm happy these type of Chromebooks exist...when you are happy with your device, that happiness also translates to your work...and this makes me happy..also, hoping there will be a Tensor Pixelbook in the works.
Wow! It is my dream chromebook!
I want your t-shirt!
OG Chromebook Pixels!
It looks beautiful 😘
Here we go I been waiting on this nice Chromebook can you make a video why Chromebook is stable or the reason to get a Chromebook ?
Thanks for unboxing I want to see what is inside of chrome book cx9
Can't wait for the new Pixebook
Hello! Great channel, nice reviews. Can you maybe make a video comparing the Motorola Moto G 100 "ready for" with a Chromebook? I would be particularly interested in whether Ethernet can be used on the smartphone with a corresponding hub. Thank you for your efforts. We appreciate that.
Hey ChromeUnboxed,
I'm a big fan of your channel and waiting impatiently for the full review and comparison with the CP713. Just today, I got my hands on one CX9 and was very excited. But, as it turns out, the touchpad/mouse interaction was terrible. I'm coming from a 10years old MacBook and can move the cursor pixel perfect. With the CX9, most of the time the cursor still moved after resting my finger. Also, very subtle movements, for example when just having the finger on the touchpad and just tilt/twist it, didn't translate to a cursor movement. I messed around with the touchpad controls in the settings menu, but I couldn't change the behavior. It just didn't felt responsive, as if there was some layer in between doing some calculations..
Was it just this unit, or is it a known problem on Chrome OS, or do you experienced this behavior at your CX9 too?
Thanks man and keep up the good work
You have missed the trick of the stand and extra hook of the display down for Chromebook. Display extra sleeves which come down that will lock withstand from moving or sliding down. Use it then it will not slide down.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes boxes
Got a ASUS - 2-in-1 15.6" Touch-Screen Chromebook - Intel Core 11th Gen i3 - 8GB Memory - 128GB SSD - Matte White for a great price from Best Buy ($475), based on your early review. It isn't a lightweight laptop; in fact, it's damn heavy. But I like the backlit keyboard, the touch screen and the glorious speakers. The other cons, aside from the weight? You can hear the fan when it comes on, and the bottom can get hot under heavy loads. But especially for the price, I'm happy with it.
Downloaded ✔️
I like the idea of a fingerprint reader for logging in. I'm wondering which other Chromebooks have that feature?
Are you sure you tried the 'stand' properly. Looked like in the video the drop foot of the laptop screen would hook over the edge. If it does, I like this thoughtful design to make people sit more ergonomically! Another plus in the reuse/recycle column 👍
Paul - Yes, you are correct. I'm impressed that he didn't notice that.
I think you can hook up the monitor edge to the upper card box stand, and it will sit there just fine
Any news on when the CX5 i7 will be available?
can u all do best back to school chromebooks
Awsome sitting on a table, but how does that Chromebook (laptop) feel on a lap?
Looking for my next chromebook to be either the hp chromebook elite c1030, the newer Asus Spin 713 with 16DDR4 RAM and 10th gen I5, or... Maybe this handsome little device.
The screen on most notable chromebook doesn't suffer from much wobble once you lay it on a flat hard surface, but I will say that this chromebook seems to have an extraordinary firm resistance against screen wobbling. That being the case, why no stylus?
Just got mine in the UK, and considering returning since the touchpad is so bad.
at an angle it looked like it was matt black and it looked awesome
Any recommendations for the best
11"6 Chromebooks?
Does the i3 version come with the fingerprint sensor? I can't figure that out with pictures and descriptions, I appreciate the help!
I bought the ASUS C302CA (after their review), then recently upgraded to the C434 ASUS and I am guessing, in 1-2 yrs this will be my next one. I tend to score them after their price goes down. I LOVE ASUS Chromebooks.
Asking because I just want to make a good choice, are ASUS chromebooks good? I've only owned an HP chromebook.
@@hiroasuakika7144 I had an ASUS C202 then the ASUS C302. GREAT devices! I skipped over to the Google Chromebooks after the C302 so I missed out on the C434 (hugely popular) and the C436 (the one Robby refers to as a "mis-step" of sorts). On the whole, though, ASUS seems to put out excellent quality Chromebooks.
I right away got my self the Asus CM5 i can work with a small screen. The 15" is so great will be delivered this Saturday!!!!!
Is there a major difference between that and the CX5 14-inch (5400)?
@@aliasgharkhoyee9501 going by Asus specs they are the same only the size of the screen is what sets the apart. You can have order it with the i7 processor and 16g of RAM but I got the AMD CPU with only 8g of RAM. I want to see how good and the hipe with AMD CPUs.
@@efrainvazquez953 how are you enjoying the cm5 up until now? I’m eyeing on that but will be buying from Amazon overseas since Malaysia don’t sell Chromebooks 🙄 so before I checked out would really love your opinion on this! Thank you
I would like to ask how is this chromebook compared to the CX5? I would love to see a comparison if possible.
That number keypad is hot! Does it work for Alt-Codes???
I hope 🤞 you Review the new Tricked out PIXEL 6 PRO and PIXEL 6
I have this Chromebook love it so far however I can't figure out how to set up a finger scanner
I believe the charger box work as laptop stand if you put the laptop with the lid open
Hi John, could you tell me where I can get this CX9? Amazon does not seem to have it. Thanks
Great overview, appreciate you doing this. That hinge would drive me crazy, kinda hate it. Between that and the lack of a 3:2 screen, this isn't the high-end Chromebook for me.
The HP X2 was like this - absolutely HORRIFIC on your lap. It cut into your leg. If this is truly light it might not be a problem, but the x2 was very heavy so that never worked.
+1
WoW 🤩 WoW 🤩 awesome
what is the use case of having thunderbolt 4 port on a chromebook?
Pls where can I get the S330
Ok...I'm kinda jealous on this one.
yeah
Sup boyo, why does the cx5 takes a shit on the cx9 except for weight and fingerprint reading? Am i doing well in going for the cx9 4k?
I want these type of Chromebooks to come in India
Yeah, we have like only 4-5 Chromebooks in india
@@kd8282 true
Can Chromebooks be used for video editing? And also running apps like Lightroom etc.?
@@theluxelife69 actually yeah
If u want to do editing u can install lightroom in Chromebooks through the android app in play store for Chromebook(it works really well)
You can also install video editing apps through Linux(Debian 10) support in Chromebook
Can I strip the Google spyware OS and run Linux?? Or is this just a terminal that needs a 'cloud' and internet to fully operate?
I wonder if the chin of the display is supposed to hook on to the back of the box in the laptop stand.
Exactly what I thought
but can we use this laptop tb4 for gaming with egpu on parallel windows
Hello, I got a question, what's the difference between CX9400CEA-DS566T and CX9400CEA-GE762T and CX9400CEA-DS762T??? I'm looking to buy the laptop but those models confuse me
Costco has this in the I-5 version for $899 currently
awesome
How is it comparing to pixelbook go? I feel like Pixelbook Go still looks and feels better, even though it has a thicker bezel?
Bro I got that Chromebook for Christmas
How does it compare to the Acer Chromebook Spin 713?
This is definitely a winner for me weight-wise, at just over 1kg/2lbs. The Spin 713 is great too especially its screen being 3:2 and convertible (360°), but it's bulkier and much heavier. And the speakers in the 713 are downward-firing, which isn't so good - don't know where the speakers are on CX9 but AFAICT they're better quality.
What type of screen is it? ips, lcd, oled?
I dont know what to choose between this Asus or a macbook air
Amazing, just wish it was a 3:2 screen! Also wonder about the sound quality?
How install play store on Chromebook
I wish that it had a 3:2 screen
This really needs to be the default now, can't stand the endless scrolling on 16:9 laptops.
@@mini9503 CX9 has a 400 nits display, though it's still 16:9
@@aliasgharkhoyee9501 For $1200? I would expect MacBook Pro 13 class of screen.
That would be: QHD, 550 nit, DCI-P3, and Tall aspect ratio, with perfect color calibration out of the box. If this Chromebook cannot deliver that, then it should NOT cost $1200.
agreed!
What is the best 2 in 1 Chromebook for college 🤔
I think you need to indicate what you will need the Chromebook to do for you so people can asses what kind of features, specs, etc might fit you best.
probably are supposed to hook that part where the screen comes down (the ergo lift part) on the back of that "laptop stand". It would be something I would keep on my desk for when I am docking it to a monitor and want two screens, which I imagine was their intent for that. Can't see anyone wanting to carry that box around with them.
chrome os is great on ARM chips and intel Celeron/pentium (I personally have Chromebook on intel n4500 and its gives a good performance out of the Celeron chip) but what the appeal for end user for using chrome os on i7-1165g7?
compared to windows 10/11 its a limited OS and windows performance is really good and lets consider apple silicon MacBook Air .... so where this laptops fits in all this?
Its ideal for someone like me who spends all day in a browser and then codes in a terminal on Linux!
I bought this laptop and like everytbing about it. I have been unable to set up Fingerprint Sensor
Thunderbolt 4 means egpu support for steam?!??!
The best of goods often come in dull parcels.
These might start at $750... Meaning it could be one of the best choices if you need 16GB of ram, a high TDP i7, and a 512GB SSD.
Tell us about the audio! Why is audio so often overlooked? Poor audio, which seems to be a given in most chromebooks, can really downgrade an otherwise good machine.
Is it possible to install Windows 10 on this machine?
15% of the price is the box/packaging
Wow! With those specs on a Chromebook, you could easily use it for 10 years without a hiccup. 😂
True, let's hope we find out in the full review that it's a good all-round device with no major hardware flaws that weren't visible in the preview. Chromebooks definitely last longer than other laptops IMO and with these specs 10 years is very possible!
@@aliasgharkhoyee9501 agreed... I'm still loving my Pixelbook Go but a bigger, brighter display on top of these specs is tempting
Lucky to get a year out of a keyboard. Two before the ports wear out. Three out of laptop internal charge controller which is usually on the MB. With these specs and slim form factor consider the effect of heat on longevity. The trouble is parts are usually not available or are cost prohibitive. Wise to check on the p & a of keyboard and touch pad prior to purchase.
Is google going to support it for 10 years or will the EOL be 6.5 years?
LTE/5G option?
Glad ASUS moved away from the Silver chasis with Silver keyboard in the ASUS 4xx models. Couldn't see a damn thing with white backlit keyboard on Silver keyboard keys.
Samsung book pro 360
Which new PIXEL 6 you gonna get ?
Which has a better screen Samsung Chromebook 1st gen or this
The original Samsung Galaxy Chromebook of course. But that Samsung has a very short battery (around 4-5 hours).
Five mins in and I fell asleep hearing about a box also one would think the power lead was in the other box 📦
Chromebook? More like a Chromebeast
Curb your enthusiasm, especially about the box! Nice device, but two things one needs to consider as negatives beyond the high price: both USB C ports are on the same side, a major inconvenience, and - as I have previously stated - the "ergolift" hinge will cut into one's legs when used on the lap, as does a similar hinge on my Acer Spin 713. Once the price gets down to the $700 range, worth considering.
I think people underestimate how much lower weight matters in premium high-powered laptops - Asus has achieved something great here with their 2lbs weight and I think that does deserve the enthusiasm.
@@aliasgharkhoyee9501 The thing is, light weight windows laptops are extremely common these days. And they are mostly priced under $1000.
A Chromebook no matter how light and premium, shouldn't be over $700.
@@mini9503 I see, I don't follow Windows laptops, would you be able to share any examples of similar (high-spec and premium build yet low weight) laptops priced under 1000?
@@aliasgharkhoyee9501 There are so many, I can't list them all. The lightest one for money is probably *"Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon"* starting at $900 msrp and weighs 970g/2.15 lbs.
@@mini9503 That Lenovo 7i looks like a solid performer, though it has a below average battery life, no HDMI/card reader ports, and not so bright display (upto 300 nits).
The intake fans, especially bottom-mounted ones, would be a dealbreaker for me. I feel like I shouldn't have to worry that my portable/tote devices are in a position where the intake gets blocked. When I'm on the go I won't always have the luxury of a desk or table to rest my laptop on. Also, I like being able to just rest my laptop on my bed. It is a beautiful and well-designed device though.
I totally agree and hate having to deal with the fan/overheating issue on my current chromebook. Do you have any favorite fanless chromebooks Groud?
@@bsoder13 I do! The Pixebook Go.
"ergo lift" sucks on your lap - ask my HP X2.
what do you do with the core i7 Chromebook? where do you take advantage of that? It's just weird and plain overkill.
Video editing on the go with the 16 GB of ram and Xe graphics.
I consider these specs overkill for a Chromebook, which is not bad...
Dude you disappointed me. I was waiting for you to hop into the box /s 😂
Just received my Asus CX9, but is wobbly on a flat desk. Unacceptable for me...
Still waiting for the next Pixelbook Chromebook… 🙄
Probably not until mid-2022, when Google updates their Tensor chip optimizing it for Chrome OS.
I hope they make it Detachable Tablet like Pixel Slate and not in a laptop form-factor.
@@mini9503 yep, that would be cool! A powerful Chromebook tablet.
Great review but did you say $1100....
I'm out LoL
It is used for coding
I know ASUS has been using the ergolift hinge for a while now, but I'm curious if that design leaves the hinge edge looking all scuffed and scratched up after a little while.... Looking forward to the review!
Update: watched a review of the Asus B9 laptop, which is the Windows version of this laptop and realize there are little rubber feet on the bottom edge of the screen. I'm still looking forward to the review though! 👍😎
...JUST ORDERED A DOZEN ...GONNA USE THEM FOR STOCKING STUFFERS THIS CHRISTMAS!!
Chromebook are lacking in category
They should make
Éducation 13 15 inches normal spec Big battery
Home/fun 15 17 inches medium spec Big batterie
Business 13 15 inches
Gaming 15 17 inches high spec with Steam and stadia
The ASUS CX5/C563 is a really good upper-mid spec Chromebook. It was just on sale but it's still under $600 even regular price.
I use the fingerprint of my phone to login.
Not a 2 in one and 1k. I'll pass. Lol.
Seems like Asus repurposed their Windows laptops and installed ChromeOS instead. Nice, but not surprised by the machine itself, let's say.
Where the F&^ck can you buy it?????????? A link please? =-)
Who would buy this if you can get an M1 Macbook Air for only $999?! It is baffling to me.
uh just a note on your videos mate, maybe stick little bit more to the topic rather than your amusements on it, i mean, maybe for a regular viewer that might be good content, but for someone who is here for a review it sure down bum them out, but the rest is just good work
