It's hard to believe we're already wrapping up 2021, but it's here whether we like it or not. With only a few weeks left in the year, it's that time again where we take a look back at all the Chromebooks that released and pick our favorites. This year's been different than most, however, as we've had more Chromebooks release this year than ever before AND we know there are still a boatload more on the way. But, it's November, and that means we need to talk about the best Chromebooks of the year that are available and ready for you to go buy right now.

A star-studded list of Chromebooks (and a Chromebase). I look forward to your review of the Duet 5 :)
I have the completely forgotten Google Pixel Slate with the i5 processor. The Slate accompanied with the keyboard from a Samsung Q1 tablet (remember that blast from the past) makes a great "laptop". The Pixel Slate has had many updates since its launch and is absolutely excellent. The screen is gorgeous,the speakers are great, the processor and ram combination makes the Slate,in my humble opinion unbeatable.
I would love to see you all cover more Chromebook software. Music recording etc
I agree with this. I would love to see them do some "persona" style daily driver videos. They could cover the hardware specs, then software, and even any customizations.
I agree, this would be awesome and very helpful. Show what these machines can do and push their limits. Lower models such as the Samsung 4($200 mark) up to $750+. They talk about daily uses, but show it and go more in depth with the apps and software.
It's a great idea, I often wonder what daily uses they do.
awesome to see all these great devices coming!
Really love my duet, I use it for many things including as my second display while using my Lenovo Legion 5 on the go, then for media consumption and watching statistics it's just so good for the money
I'll still keep my red Samsung Galaxy Chromebook from last year. I love the 4K display and the short battery life really doesn't affect me. I think it's hard to beat, although that last Asus looks great too.
The Asus Flip and Detachable Chromebooks are really good and used powerful mediatek chipsets as well. Would buy one of these.
Great video! Currently watching on my Samsung XE303C12. How about doing a review on older Chromebooks in current day use and which ones can still hold up and which ones just flop flat on their face.
Why doesnt the PixelBook Go feature anywhere on this list?
Great coverage, as always.
Based on your early reviews, I bought the ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5500 from Best Buy. I love it and feel you accurately described it. Was only available at BB at first - and was $569 originally. Waited for a sale and grabbed mine at $439 and now I see them going for $399 !! Guess it confirms that this is a bumper year for good models and that market may have been saturated in response to ZOOM crisis. Can't believe what a deal this is.
Any problems with speakers on your cx5 recently ?
i’ve been waiting for this!
That was very nicely done ✔ Thank you!
Hi!
The Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Yoga , doesn't it deserve to be on this list?
Thanks for your answer.
Happy new year 🎉
I just bought my first Chromebook the Asus CX5500 on sale for $399.00 at Best Buy, it was a good deal so I went for it. I'm still learning how to navigate it. It's a bit different than the Windows I'm use to.
I was kinda nervous and wondering if I had made a good choice even though I had done a lot of research on Chromebooks. After hearing this review I feel better about it.
I just got really tired of Windows and all the updates and glitches that came with it. Watching your channel really helped me learn about Chromebooks and what to look for when shopping for one. Thank You for the good info.
I am on my 2nd chromebook --after a windows and 2 iMacs--Never to look back--Only when Chromebooks expire--do you have a problem with them !-
So do u still have the Asus chrombook ? If so how is it, how u liking it. Give us some updates
I got a used like new Galaxy Chromebook for 530 bucks. The updated software helped the battery a lot and it's a frigging amazing buy for that money.
Are you guys planning on making a video detailing the updates in Chrome OS 96?
The 2022 Chromebook Spin 513 might be my first device with a Mediatek processor!
I bought my Lenovo Flex 5 / 10th gen Core i3 / 8GB Ram / 128 GB eMMC / 1080p display / in Jan '21. Got it on sale for $349.95 at Costco on sale (last hour of the last day of the sale) and I couldn't be happier with it. I just power washed it earlier this week. I had forgotten how fast this device was/is. All these Chromebooks look great but I don't see the need to upgrade for a while. My next device needs to be all this Flex 5 Chromebook is but with better battery life.
Great video!
the duet still being in there just says a lot😭
I do wish the chromebook tablet market will start to get some high end chips in there, I would be so down to purchase once they come
Got an asus CX5500 after the unboxing video, it's a great chromebook and I'm really happy with it
For the Affordable category, I think the Lenovo Chromebook 3 14" Touch Laptop - Mediatek MT8183 - 4GB Memory - 64GB eMMC laptop (Best Buy- Reg. $319, recently on sale for $150) should at least make honorable mention; it has a brighter, better color display (FHD IPS, 300 nits) than all 3 of the honorable mentions included in the video review. Bought it for my wife recently and I was very impressed with the build quality and the screen.
For this consumer it's increasingly important that the product is NOT a Chinese product an that it's NOT produced in China, even more so than saving a couple of hundred dollars. For that reason I would never buy a Lenovo
@@nickthequick All products are produced in China. Get over it.
I just bought one for our office - I can’t get a clear answer about using a stylus with it? Input? We have a cloud based software and would be for signatures and clients filling out forms. Any thoughts/input appreciated!
@@lindaarchinal9008 Sorry, I don't use a stylus but you could order several from Amazon and return the ones that aren't compatible with this device. I also looked online and couldn't find an answer to your question.
@@nickthequick 💀💀💀💀
Can someone please advise me the best budget chromebook to buy, I have been advised the duet is the best. I only have a budget of max £200 . is the duet still worth it in 2021? going into 2022? I only need it to check some PDF, emailing, online shopping. and writing a few google documents. the only thing that puts me off..is that I dont have great eye site..is the screen clear and easy to look at?
Love you Guys !
Got my first Chromebook yesterday and watching this video on my ASUS CX9 is the best feeling ever!
How is it so far and where did you get it from I couldn't find that model only the CX-5
I just saw the CX5 coming out that’s 12th gen 🤯 Imma start saving now 😅
I still own the original Google Pixel Chromebook. I have the highest end version with the i7 and 512 Storage option. I will only change it when a new high end Pixel book is released. Also waiting for a pixel tablet and watch.
Hi there. Would love to pick your mind. I currently have an MacBook Pro (the last one before the M1 launches). I'm tired of carrying what feels like a 20kilo machine and the idea of a Chromebook is something that ice been thinking about for a while. Do you ever do AMA so I could ask your opinion on what I should be looking at to move over?
Which one would you recommend with a 4G/LTE sim card option in it?
When is the Lenovo Duet 5 review coming out? I'm in the market for a nice OLED tablet 🙂
Yep, my Lenovo Duet is my daily driver at my desk. Sure wish it had 8 GB of Ram though. 😁
Try the new one
@@cobaltblue5523 I can't warrant spending the money on it. 😔
@@Stephen_A. what is your budget? And always check for any trade in deals . Also there is best buy open box options. Plus of you can get a student email from a friend or use yours you can get free coupons from best buy
Best time of the year to buy a laptop is September! Best Buy is a great place to start as well
@@cobaltblue5523 how about the new duet's camera
Are there any plans for a premium 17 inch chromebook, (with metal case) this would be ideal for a desktop replacement device.
Maybe pick HP all-In-one as a desktop replacement 🤔 ..
Good info, Wish you have written the names and link of the product here.
I have watched alot of your videos. I have one question. Which is best Asus cx5 14" or the Asus cx536ea? I am totally confused. Is the cx5 worth the extra $200?
Looking forward to 2022 Lenovo Chromebook Duet!!! The best is Asis Detachble CM3 cm3000
Love the quoted of 599 for the CX5500... yea, currently as of today? 739 thank you. Where you finding them at that msrp
I can not believe it is almost the end of 2021
I wish it’s the end of 2024.
I am looking for a cellular chromebook tablet / convertible , and recommendations?
I dipped my toe into the Chromebook waters this summer. I picked up a HP x360 14a from Target. I love the 13 battery life! I'm curious, is there a external battery, similar to what you buy for recharging phones, that work for charging Chromebooks? The only downside I have found is that I can't watch my purchased Apple shows.
There are external power banks that work for charging Chromebooks as well, you'll just want to make sure that it has power delivery (PD) or similar technology, and that said power delivery output is the same or greater than the amount required for your device. I think the wattage required for that specific device is 45 watts, but you can check your charger to see what it is rated for. (watts = amps x volts) You can use a power bank that is rated for higher than the wattage of your charger, as long as the voltage is the same (within 1 volt difference) or it knows how to adjust the voltage. It's best to pick a power bank that can adjust to your device's needs.
I hope you have a proper review of the Duet 5 in the oven! 😄 Although I'm not sure when we're going to have it available in Europe 🤦♂️
Just went online to order one as I was originally picking up the original duet, was very surprised to see that it's not available.
@@itsmikemccall Do you live in the US? If so, I think i's available at BestBuy for $499 with a 8GB/128GB configuration. It says it'll be available in 4 days. If you're looking for the 4GB/64GB configuration I think it's available at the Lenovo online shop.
It will be available in Europe soon - I asked Lenovo's pr people.
@@thomasraukamp Thank you!
🤩 I need one of them
I am useing the Lenonvo chromebook right now
Robby, I love your page, Unfortunately , I also love non-glare screens and they are really hard to find. Could you help me out here and recommend some chromebooks with non-glare screens, It would help me out alot.
I picked up an HP 11a on sale for a spare living room machine but it was just too slow to be enjoyable.
Still waiting for a new Pixelbook or Pixelbook GO. Until then, my GO is still my favorite device to bring out with me. I've tried an iPad+Keyboard Case which did work for basic needs but I'm more comfortable with a traditional laptop experience.
Odd I’ve been using an iPad Pro/keyboard for the last few years as my main laptop and it’s been extremely capable even for creative work. Apps are very well optimized and feel just as good as a desktop/browser at least for the apps I use.
@@j.d.5709 Right, my comment said "which did work" meaning I like ipads and think they are useful, I still own my ipad too, I just prefer using a laptop.
Me too!
I'm wondering why Google stopped making Pixelbooks. IMO they are great. Just expensive but great laptops.
Are there any Chromebook with a Wacom digitazer integrated into the display, like the one use on the Samsung Galaxy Tab7+ Android Tablet ?
Important to look up the AUE when shopping. The spin 713 is only Jun 25.
i ended up buying the Acer Spin 713, took some time getting use to the 3:2 screen ratio
but i think i made the right choice!
Best Buy has the Spin 713 on sale for $580. Worth the price? I've been shopping around for a new Chromebook for the last week and the screen looked nice in the store
@@MidgardEchoes yes, get it you will be very happy, i have no regrets!!
Would it be more worthwhile to wait until 2022 to buy a chromebook?
I need a chromebook that can mirror to smart tv or monitor wirelessly any ideas
I've never used a chrombook before, but I'm definitely interested in using one.
the key thing is the debian VM built in. u can use a ton of free linux software.
are you still reviewing the duet 5
Very informative video, but there's one thing NO reviewer ever includes and is is extremely important. Please in the next video, please include the models AUE date. This info is very important to purchasers. Just before Christmas 21 we went to buy a Chromebook, the seller was stating that it would get updates untill 2029, BUT, upon checking the demo unit's settings, the demo Chromebook stated only 2026 AUE date included in a review would be useful. Thanks.
I would of love to seen google release an updated OG Google Chromebook that had that Google Color Lights it was 11.6 and had that white shiny plastic but instead call it the Pixel Book Lite make it more budget.
Wish you used the chapters tool.
I got problems with speakers on my CX5, no issues for you ?
Imma buy that samsung Chromebook go looks nice
I changed the wallpaper on my Chromebook and the size did not fit right so i tried to choose option of stretch , center or center crop as i always used to but i failed to find that option after i updated my device to Version 94.0.4606.124.....please help.
64gb and over and expandable memory. Thanks 👍
Thanks for this! Let me ask the question this way - as a huge Pixelbook Go fan whose machine has just died and no sign that Google is coming out with something better any time soon, what's the best 2021 replacement?
Possibly the Asus CX5400 as it's fanless, or even CX9 if it's within budget because it's a quality competitive product with a similarly low weight as Google's Pixelbooks.
I like my Samsung Chromebook amoled version. The screen is great.
Could you do a tutorial on buying your first Chromebook? What to look for, what's important, etc.
What questions do you have He has made a tutorial about it I believe a very short one but what it really comes down to is what we use it for specifically like what programs apps and stuff like that also what's your budget and then you can narrow it down even further to size so to give you a head start there's some really good deals going on right now if you're going into the lower end like anywhere from 100 to 200 don't get anything with a processor lower than Intel n4000 and as for media tech don't get anything lower than the media tech MT 8183 anything that or above is is okay again you have to ask yourself what do we use it for I personally test it out the end Intel n4020 and the media tech 8183 I believe the Intel is faster around a little bit smoother so I would lean more towards Intel. That's just like kind of a quick intro there's a lot of things to consider but if you answer those simple questions I could help you get started cuz I've done a ton of research on Chromebooks tablets and laptops also if you need anything with Windows programs don't get a Chromebook get a Windows laptop
@@cobaltblue5523 I've been using a Microsoft Surface Pro 5 since 2017. Pretty much all my work is in the browser and I may have 20 tabs open at a time between Edge & Chrome. I like the Surface form factor and need pen input for signing documents on the screen.
@@SamPattonMusic yeah I really do like the form factor of the surface pro it's really compact and portable and honestly I think the older surface pros are just more durable I've heard some issues with six and up I think seven and up oh yes and six and up yeah because I have some friends who have the surface pro 4 or 3 and they're still working and they bought a second hand one That's like a three or four and it's working like a charm yeah if you mainly just use for browsing and just have a bunch of tabs open Chromebooks would be actually really good for you again though like you got to make sure you know what programs are using if it's just browsing then Chromebooks are amazing they're super quick speedy long battery life you know depending on which one you get you could get pretty actually really amazing screen that screen quality performance definitely I myself just ordered the Acer spin 713 waiting for a to arrive That's one of the more higher end but it's actually more mid mid tier but with higher in specs honestly Right now it's on sale for Best buy for $529 It has an Intel i-5 11th gen processor with 8 GB of RAM 2K screen it's a 3x2 aspect ratio 13.5-in IPS screen touch screen I've heard really a lot of good things about it besides the speakers they're not great it's what I've heard but to be honest with you I first tested out
@@SamPattonMusic how how well Chromebooks perform so I actually bought a Acer Chromebook It was the 315 and it was a 15.6 inch IPS touch screen full HD 4 gigabytes of RAM with a Intel Celeron and 4020 and I tried it out The battery life on it was awesome I just play TH-cam in the background while I do stuff or if I go do some research Google docs you know Gmail I like using Google sheets really you can do anything on on Google right cuz you got Google docs Google sheets all that stuff play TH-cam in the background yeah just some small stuff honestly I do I did some light gaming gaming does drain the battery faster I I feel like that's the case and I only played a game called luminosity it's a on the play store Google play store and I don't really game on Chromebook so I really don't care I have my Nintendo switch for that and I I really don't even play that I got I'm too busy yeah but anyways I tested out the performance on that I had a couple of chrome tabs open yeah I just researching typing writing up some stuff and had a TH-cam playing in the background and it ran smoothly It was great it's so funny because
@@SamPattonMusic that Chromebook I got it on sale it's usually $320 I got it for $220 so it was a really good deal honestly you cannot get a Chromebook with those kind of specs for that low of a price plus I will tell you this I was surprised about the speakers they were actually nice I wasn't expecting much but they were loud they were in that fool I admit that in like not much bass but for 220 bucks I was actually blown away I was like wow The only thing was the trackpad did feel kind of cheap but I really don't care about that because I use a mouse anyway and the keyboard it's pretty good so the reason why I mention all this is because it's a gauge like a performance for you to see but this actually outperformed I had prior to that like a year earlier the Acer aspire 5 slim and that had a Verizon 3500U processor with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage right and I felt like I was a little slower tab that opened up slower The battery life was maybe around 5 hours you know It just drained really quick and that's a piss me off I was kind of disappointed by I sold it cuz I didn't need it at the time so in comparison to my oh oh yeah and then the that was a Windows laptop and that costs $349 so after shipping and tax it came to like $389 something like that so like not only was the Acer Chromebook cheaper it was faster it lasted longer and it just met all my needs this is really cool only downside to the cheaper Acer Chromebook was the touchpad I didn't care about cuz I use the mouse and it only had 32 gigabytes of internal storage but throw in an SD card and you're good however I do recommend if you're going to get a Chromebook to get a minimum of 64GB storage and 8GB RAM in terms of storage I would actually aim up to 128 storage if I were you but 64 is its doable just throwing an SD card but definitely definitely put in a gigabytes of RAM because it will make it just last longer and just be more faster because chrome does take up a lot of RAM and in terms of what what you're going to use it for again that's why I always ask is if you're doing what I'm doing then I would definitely recommend an n5000 processor or up cuz the n4020 it was good but you know I just want to give you the best that's like probably should be the bare minimum the n4020 and that you can find a lot for that for cheap but and 5000 I definitely recommend to just help future proof it if you're really minimal work you know just a couple tabs and this and that but if you let's say
Just got the HP Chromebook X2 11 for $375 with tax. I honestly think for pure media consumption especially in the small form-factor excellent when travelling, it's a better media consumption device than Duet 5 with it's bigger 16:9 13 inch display.
Nice how is it so far
@@cobaltblue5523 I love it 🤩
When will you make The Best Chromebook of 2022 video? Any updates?
Omg you're the voice behind VacuumWars aren't you
I just returned my CX9 because the touchpad felt so bad. I think it must have been faulty, since all the reviews say theirs is so good. Has anyone else had this? Even the numpad toggle was hard to use.
Nope. It's been perfect.
I really didn't enjoy the Duet. Definitely looked great and felt, a slightly better spec would have been so much better. I just felt the performance just needed slight improvement.
any chance of a tune on the guitar?
My first chromebook was an acer c720. Now i use a Samsung chromebook 4. Now i got my wife into chromebook with an hp x360 14a and giving my son a Samsung chromebook 4 for Christmas.
Do you get one hand opening with the CX5400?
I have Lenovo 11.6" touch screen Chromebook.
Just picked up the CX5 a couple days ago, loving it so far, but is there any sort of pen i can use to take notes?? ive been looking for one but cant find anything
Hey good afternoon as long as it's Usi compatible then any USI stylus should work with it yeah I just ordered one FM off Amazon I read some bad reviews though on the panova the Lenovo pen and stuff like that so I ended up getting an off-brand one that had better reviews I don't know I can't really trust Amazon reviews because I've gotten some stuff from Amazon that people say it was horrendous or bad and I love it like a case for my pixel 4A everyone it was a $9 case like what do you expect and then they go and say oh I can get one for cheaper with a better much better quality and this and that it's like do where the hell you get that I don't know so definitely do your own research and see what which ones are compatible with it but I assume if it's Usi stylist that it should be just compatible with anything that's why it's universal standard but who knows man I'll see for myself soon
Any problems with speakers on your cx5 recently ?
its hard to believe we cant unround our icons
I bought the Acer 315. The 317 was a bit big for me.
The Acer 315 works great for me. I use it for browsing, Netflix, TH-cam, etc. Not top of the line, but solid.
There aren't enough good 11" Chromebooks. I have Acer spin which is great but some better specs would be ace
I agree 100%. I prefer an 11 inch screen for daily use but there's maybe 1 or 2 chromebooks with that screen size that even has 8gb of ram. I've got the acer spin 713 and the hp x2 11c and honestly I never even use the acer. I love this x2.
@@samnope7817 hello which Acer has been 713 do you have Is it the 2020 model or the 2021 model I was really looking into getting the X2 because I was excited about it the HPX2 but after seeing the performance on it I was kind of let down by it but it looks super solid like really well built honestly it's like just a cheaper I don't want to say cheaper but just a really good value of like a surface pro honestly and it comes with the keyboard plus it comes with the freaking stylus doesn't it That's awesome if you can get on sale for the 379 deal it has most times It goes down to 399 but I've seen it all the way down to 379 it's a really great deal I just wish it had a little better performance or at least throw in the Snapdragon 7C second generation something more current I think even that one's old not sure I really do hope that Snapdragon does make a chip specifically for Chromebooks or at least take a good chip and then fine tune it to work on Chromebooks you know cuz honestly most Chromebooks and the lower and the two-in-ones are not the two-in-one sorry the detachables they just lack in power but most of them have really good build quality like the Lenovo duet both of them that the old one and the new one the HBX2 they sue CM3 it seems pretty good comes with the stylus and a keyboard so great value yep but they just need a bump up those the processors and the yeah like at least a minimum of the eight GB RAM so the the HP just needs a new processor I feel or hopefully the updates really maximize on the performance
Lovely pear
We need high end Tensor or Snapdragon 800 seties Chromebooks
With all the Chromebooks coming, would you recommend waiting to buy if there isn't an urgent need? Is there a new one that you are excited for (low-mid range)?
What will you use it for ? Like what specific programs and what's your budget ?
@@cobaltblue5523 mostly as a travel pc. Weight should be less than 2lbs. Budget is about $350
@@capatel okay that's pretty good start what what size range are you looking for cuz they have 11-in they have 13.5 14 15 in if you want travel size the biggest I would go for you is probably 14-in and the smallest I would go is 11-in if it's just a bust out some emails or video consumption stuff like that 11-in is fine it's going to be super portable just try to be blunt about that if you were going to do some more heavier work like I really don't know what but like a writing an essay writing a script stuff like that I don't know something more lengthy right definitely go for a 14-in or you can get a 13.5-in with a 3x2 aspect ratio That's really good if you're doing a lot of writing and it feels compact yet it's actually bigger than most 13.5 inches because we'll have a taller aspect ratio
@@cobaltblue5523 in my research, I haven't been able to find a Chromebook that's 13+ inches and under 2lbs. An 11 inch or less is likely. Mostly I need it for light email work, browsing and looking at maps for planning day trips. Easier to see on a bigger screen vs phone. The duet looks ok, but was hoping for a little more power. So if there's a Duet or similar coming with a faster chip, that would work.
@@capatel I don't think you'll find anything with that budget .
Waiting for CES 2022
im planning to switch to chromebook just because it is cheap and i dont do heavy computing, just words, excel, and maybe some power points, but looking at the price that quite similar to windows laptop, it is really a hard decision for me
The ASUS CX9 would have me if it could be completely flipped into tablet mode
True that would make it near perfect, but on the other hand how often does the average person use their laptop in tablet mode?
Love love love my Spin 713. Only issue is the speakers. It is perfect otherwise
The downward speakers are not that bad.
Bought one for school purpose and it looks too good
@@ksravian no they aren’t super bad. I used mine a lot for music and movies so i just use earbuds.
Best Buy has them on sale for $580. Is that a good deal for a Spin 713? I am thinking of getting one
@@MidgardEchoes id make sure it is the 2021 Spin for that price. The 2020s were about that price when I bought mine
Does chromebook have microsoft office?
Hi everyone! I know that you might be rushing to get that new shiny chromebook but take a second before pressing that purchase button. Recently Amazon lost an ordered chromebook of mine meaning I had to take the a refund and since the price had gone up considerably (£300) since the original purchase, it was now out of reach. Originally disappointed, I looked again at chromebooks and learned that the original chrombook I was looking at before this purchase, which was out of my budget, was reduced considerably and now am able to afford it. I suspect because the recent CES event days after purchase. Loads of new chromebooks were released/ unveiled and companies want to get rid of old stock meaning a discount. Moral of the story, don't rush the purchase and see when the next possible discount will be. It might save you a tone of money, like me, for better specs.
After being an Apple fanboy since the iPod days, I bought a Surface Pro in 2017. That form factor has been a revelation. I don't think I could go back to a traditional laptop anymore and my 2018 iPad has been a buggy mess that I don't want to use for work. A Chromebook is probably in my future in the next year, I just need to hone in on which one.
If getting a Chromebook isn't urgently for you, I personally would wait for Google's Pixelbook 2 with their Tensor SoC. Rumours say it would be presented in 2023
@@auxiliam112 Thank you!
Time flies
Don’t you report for Univision?? Your voice sounds familiar
Please what's your take on the Samsung Chromebook 4+ 15.6 inches
I would like to see an argument for getting a Chromebook in 2021 in terms of it having fewer limitations than Chromebooks from 4 or 5 years ago.
8-16GB Ram and a decent CPU. you'll be fine. the debian VM turns it into a regular pc. no good video editing though.
Google's Productivity tools like Docs, Sheets and Slides are good but limited. Similarly, the free web version of MS OFFICE is usable but limited. The subscription fee for the full (premium) web version is very expensive. Therefore, like Apple's Mac OS, Google's Chrome OS too needs a native version of MS OFFICE. Google should strike a deal with Microsoft and get them to launch a version of the MS OFFICE for Chrome OS. The full featured OEM version of MS OFFICE should come pre-installed with the Chromebooks. It's the only thing that I miss the most on my Lenovo Chromebook Duet.
Google office is good enough for me (retired)
Unless Microsoft is getting money, why would they do that? Unless they get something in return from Google?
Hi, does Chrome OS need external virus protection? I've been told that it doesn't, but what is the actual situation?
DOESN'T

Can't say I agree with the Lenovo duet. No headphone jack. Screen isn't that bright, and kinda blurry. Even at 200$ on sale, I never could like it.
The Acer spin 713 goes on sale all the time for 400$. And my i5 was refurb was 430$. Absolutely worth it. Yes, it's more expensive than the duet. But the screens usable outside. Headphone jack. WAY better resolution and brightness. The i3 will still blow the duet out of the water
Annnnddd the winner is........ unavailable to buy on Amazon.🤔
I really dislike how long certain videos are in the last time (not this one). There are unboxing that took 15+ mins and then there are really great videos (like this one), which are only taking 13 minutes...
I love watching long videos and I want more and more content, but this is not the right way imo.
Honestly what I feel had a bad rap list of pixelslate. There’s been a lot of software updates I can’t speak for the one that supposed to represent the i3 model but I have the 256 12 ram. M3-8100 lowest which I-hear is good now. (Someone let me know if the m-3 is bad still) I5 and i7 is good regardless.
They are a lot cheaper now and a lot of people claim a lot of things have been fixed with software updates even for the lower end models. If you catch it on sale I honestly think it’s a fantastic buy
I have the i5 version of the Pixel Slate and it is the best tablet I own. The software updates have really transformed it into a genuinely excellent device.
Hi, I am on a budget to buy a laptop and I don’t want to go for Windows because I hate the complexity of the OS, the mandatory updates (I had an Acer Swift 1 which became practically unusable because of these updates), the bad battery life of Windows laptops to name but a few drawbacks.
So the choice I am currently facing is to buy either an used MacBook Pro or a new Chromebook.
My question is : Pentium Silver n5030, 8 gigs of ram, IPS FHD touchscreen, 64 gigs of storage and micro SD port to extend the storage, 2 USB 3 ports and two USB C ports, are these specs viable for a Chromebook in 2022? The machine I have spotted is an Acer CB314-1HT.
I am planning to do some web browsing, light word processing (I am going to install LibreOffice in the Linux container), online education (Duolingo, Coursera, …), emails, audio recording (I have tested my USB audio interface previously on a Chromebook and it worked like a charm, the audio flux was bi-directional and of high quality). What I like in Chromebooks is the touchscreen, the simplicity of the Chrome OS, the long battery life of Chromebooks, …
Of course, a second hand Macbook will be more Premium and will provide a far larger choice of software, including audio editing software and MS Office. But there is no touchscreen, the support with Mac OS upgrades won’t last very long (with my budget I could buy a Retina MacBook Pro from 2013 to 2015 at the most), there will be no warranty on the machine and I don’t know how many hours the battery will last, which is an issue for portability.
One of the issues with the Chromebook is that I’ll probably won’t be able to use my old Canon Pixma MG5150 with it, which is too bad because it still works like a charm and cartridges are cheap for this particular model.
One last point: the Acer I have spotted costs 260 euros, the MacBooks at least 400 euros.
So please tell me what you think. Thanks 😊
Its on !!!
Acer spin 713 2021 best price and value no one comes close
Yeah, it's great, but the speakers suck
@@NateBraska true , but a blue tooth speaker will fix that , or try chrome extension volume master. I don't really blast music . More like just background noise while working.
@@cobaltblue5523 good point for that model. It's more about productivity. Thinking of the HP X2, it's speakers were far too weak for being a tablet
@@NateBraska honestly the look of that package is pretty nice they just have to refine it on the next model .
