ChromeOS 118 began its roll-out this week and with it came a nice handful of Chromebook Plus features for the entire list of devices that meet those Chromebook Plus specifications. For those non-Plus devices, the updates aren't much to talk about this time around and this ChromeOS 118 release was clearly aimed at getting all the Chromebook Plus models up to speed and moving forward together.

To my mind the last chromeOS feature needing to be added to make chromeOS really useful is the ability to custom map mouse buttons for mice that have more than the default buttons like Logitech G604 etc.

10:03 New ChromeOS 118 Features On Chromebook Plus
11:59 The Chromebook Plus offers a thoughtful and helpful user experience, ensuring users get all the latest features and software updates.
Thanks for this, didn't have to sit through the whole video. I just used your time stamps.
Thanks for educating me on chromebooks, yesterday I bought the Asus CX34 i3/8/256GB for £229/$288 here in the UK!
As we were looking for a new laptop for the generic stuff (nothing really specific Mickey software), the introduction of Chromebook Plus was a deciding factor. Thanks for these video's !!
Thanks for showing this, I appreciate it. I'm starting my search for a new Chromebook now so timing couldn't be better!
Thanks you all for your hard work, I really enjoy your channel.
Google differentiating Chromebooks like this is stupid. If my machine can run it, give me the feature. Man my next portable machine will be a Windows machine again. No way am I going back to a chromebook that goes unsupported when Google decides it does.
This is exactly what I'm thinking. I like ChromeOS because it was lightweight and can run on just about anything. But creating a class system of specs like this for basic features is not the way.
Give Google a year or two. They're gonna kill it eventually.
Por estas cosas deberían mejorar, un sistema operativo universal, hacerlo el mejor, accesible y compatible a todo el mundo, con playstore, videojuegos, los mejores programas de diseño en local, imagen iso, coger lo mejor de linux y Windows y hacer algo único, es lo que queremos los usuarios, sin restricciones, que luego quieres funciones mejores pues desbloquea un ChromeOs Pro, saludos
Gatekeeping wallpapers and screensavers for Chromebook Plus is the dumbest thing ever
So you should not buy a 'normal' Chromebook now?
Uh. What are all talking about? These are nicer features and you don’t need spend $1500 to get them. CB+ is available on $400 CB’s. These are features that take more horse power form devices so Google is trying to make it easier to shop for CB’s that have the spec’s to be able to do them. Those who don’t care about these features won’t need a CB+ device. If you don’t get it, then you simply are someone who doesn’t e need a CB+ device.
@@merrymonarchIf you’re doing more simple things and don’t need these features then yes. CB+ device start at $400.
The wallpapers you can probably download, but the screensavers, eh, I never used this on a Chromebook.
@@MisterMichaelVReyes This is true.
If Google want to compete on a higher level, they need to get hardware manufacturers to add software for Chrome OS. E.g. the new Elgato Prompter comes with Windows software and Mac Software, no Chome OS software. Blagmagic provides software for Windows and Macs, not for Chrome OS. The list goes on.
I think google should make Chrome OS a full Linux distro to make competitive for power users
I don't think Google is aiming power users now.
I would think it's trying to get students who will grow with chrome OS in mind. And regular users.
But of course Google could allow power users to unblock flags or could turn on a " power user mode".
Actually, when you turn on Linux in chrome OS, it's already kind of a power user mode
They kind of did exactly that with Chrome OS flex
I think it's a shame that my Lenovo Flex 5i 13 inch Chromebook meets all the requirements for Plus, except that it has a 720p webcam. and that's why I can't enjoy the plus features. And that despite the fact that it once had a Chromebook premium label, meaning it was more than the Plus Chromebook a few months ago. i3 processor, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, 1080p display, only the 1080p webcam is missing. That's kind of frustrating!
Your Flex 5i doesnt meet CB Plus at all.
You only have an 11th gen CPU and there are MANY reasons why Intels 11th gen is not included.
Powerhungry, runs hot, 8 year old architecture, no AV1 decoding, no AV1 encoding, no native TPM.
8 year old?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Lake
My Asus Chromebook Flip ticks every box except the processor is Intel 11th generation instead of 12th generation. Feels like it just missed the boat.
There seem to be a lot of models missing from the list. Is there a place where we can see just a list of the 33 models?
Still rocking Pixel Book. Glad they extended it's update life
Wow! I hadn't heard anything about that. Was gearing myself up to have to run it as a linux machine 🙈
@@thegwenethpaltrow yes it will now receive updates up till June 2027. Glad I got the one with more RAM
Looks good, tempted to powerwash my ChromeOS Flex device just to see what the initial boot up animations look like... That being said, I hope Flex continues to get better every few weeks!
How often do you get updates with Flex? Is it on par with normal Chrome OS?
But Flex is still limited right? No Android and Linux support.
@@Unan1mouz The Play Store is missing, but Linux VMs work fine on Flex.
@@cousinalabamaon most machines
Falta playstore y que se pueda descargar una iso y poder tener windows y chromeos flex en tu portátil, además de detectar muchod más controladores, aplicaciones de windows en ChromeOS, por lo demás muy bueno!
Robby - is there a good overall Chrome OS tutorial for 2023 that you can recommend for my older (boomer) family members that are getting new Chrombook Plus devices for the holidays - who are coming from older Win/Mac devices?
Highly recommended it ❣️❣️❣️

Pretty Upset....i have the 2021 HP x360 chromebook with 11th Gen intel core i3 and 8gb memory and got the chrome 118 update and none of these features...however there was a critical security update installed with it.
I think you need 12th gen cpu

Great new features. I like how Chromebooks are developing and If I would buy a new one, I would look for "enterprise" devices. I guess Chromebook plus is exactly this kind.
Pretty much, I have a Lenovo Chromebook plus for work and its better then a standard Chromebook, Its worth the upgrade. I also recommend to get a Chromebook with at least an Icore-3 its worth the money. I owned them since they started and if you take the cheap route you're going to hate chrome os.
Some of the Chromebook Plus promo videos seem to highlight video editing capabilities. Can you do a video on those?
A major point of Chromebooks is that they are far less expensive than equally functional Windows laptopsand they are hugely less overpriced than Apple ones.
I am aware that Google may have been pushed into this by manufacturers because less expensive means less profitable but I feel no sympathy with them on this.
7:50 Probably a simple mistake, but a KEY light is the main source of light in and image or video, making it the KEY to lighting the image, You mean fill light. As an mature photographer, this mis-labeling qualifies as a pet-peeve.
How much power do you need to run video as a wallpaper
Great video. Looking forward to similar ones on using Chromebook Plus
Disappointed that it appears my Lenovo Ideapad 5i doesn't meet the requirements for Chromebook Plus, I suspect it may be down to the webcam.
So I lose a bunch of features for using the built in webcam? Seems silly to me.
That looks sick! ChromeOS for the win!!!
I stopped using a Chromebook a few months ago but I still come here for the nostalgia haha
Is this a Chromebook Plus : Chromebook Hp Plus 15a-nb0036nf with Processeur : Intel Core i3 N-305? How do we understand the names? Does a plus somewhere in the name make it a Chromebook Plus. Is a Chromebook plus a mouse a Chromebook plus? Is Core i3-N-305 of the12th gen or not? Will it be a waste of time making do with a non-plus Chromebook? I have an i5 PC so I can use MS office but my N5030 8GB Chromebook does most things just fine. I do not want to be constantly reminded that I have a second class machine, or find that the OS only works properly with CB-plus devices.
I have a Chromebook sitting on my desk that I will be selling or giving away. Chrome gating features has made up my mind for me. I’ll be moving back to my MacBook or a Windows machine from now on.
Google you messed up with this decision.
You all should add chapters to your videos on ChromeOS update walkthroughs.
I just bought the Acer 516 GE and will be picking it up tonight, it didn't have the Plus branding, but I'm assuming/hoping it's going to have the new Plus features?
I can't get rid of my chromebook notification that an update is actually available. But when I try to check for updates, it doesn't update. My chromebook is supposed to still get updates but I don't know. Trying to find answers here
Tell me more about the "Get Started, Next, Next, Next" screen. Very insightful.
Hi, Sir. Can you test that background blur feature with an external webcam. I wonder what the result would be with a webcam with a built in gimbal like the Insta360 Link or OBSbot webcam.
Got mine yesterday and am really happy with it. The only thing, it does not have background light for the keyboard. Called Asus and had the feeling they were not pretty sure, whether it is like that or if it is a problem with the device. They came up with the answer, that the white version has it, the grey one doesn't. (I have a grey one). Can anyone confirm that it is ok, that my chromebook does not have background light for the keyboard? Also in the official spot for that device it has a bottom note saying that backlit keyboard is optional. Thanks a lot.
I"m kind of glad the boss's ASUS Chromebook Flip CM5 (CM5500) didn't quite make the grade for the Plus features! She has a hard enough time navigating the most simplest of computers! I'd hate to think what she would do when faced with a Windows PC!
Am getting a chromebook now,
Will the dragonfly pro also get Chromebook plus
I have the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook and I got the Chromebook Plus update, but then it went away. I have lost all those features for some reason and not sure why.
It’s all quite minor Robbie!! All I care is Lumafusion and other music production software. Thanks for the video
You spent 13:37 telling us about a wallpaper and video calls. Why is that necessary? Do you get paid by the minute?
Last month I got a new Asus C1700K 17 inch Chromebook for $200.00 at the Best Buy. It is nowhere near a Plus in power or other specs but the price and size more than makes up for that. It is NOT a Chromebook Minus at all. It's a regular Chromebook. Works for me! Something creepy and a bit unpleasant that every time I may hear a review of new features that I will only be getting SOME of the features, and not ALL the cool stuff. I can hardly wait.....
Creepy? 😂😂😂
Up till now, EVERYONE has gotten all the benefits of the upgrades. I would not want to see the millions of school kids with their Chromebooks left behind. @@kennymccormick8295
cant wait for the day i own my first chromebook
Looks amazing
Really?? The first big new feature is "wallpaper. " Wow, what a game changer😂
ha ha. The video call features are cool, but I agree the rest is fluff. Early days for the plus feature train.
Quick question, does the Acer Chromebook 516 going to get the Chromebook plus update?
My Chromebook just locked up. I have used it for a year or two, and this is the first time it locked up. Is it the new 118?
Nowadays with everything being based in web browsers, all I look for in devices is optimization, efficiency and speed because the rest is going to be taken care of in the browser. Chrome OS is becoming an actual competitor in the operating system space.
Should we upgrade to chrome book plus? Is it really necessary right now?
Cool! 🔥
I'm cheering for ChromeOS, as we need something that will end Microsoft monopoly. Going ARM is the future
This might be a really dumb question.
From your past reviews I was leaning towards an Acer spin with a mediatek kompanio processor. Would that chromebook get the chromebook plus updates?
5:16 needs intel or ryzen for chromebook plus
Nice & Thanks :)
I have a question. I heard chromebooks just a few months ago, since chromebooks are not popular in Turkey. When I heard chromebook, I thought it was a laptop built by Google with ChromeOS. But now I am figuring out that it is just other laptop brands with ChromeOS. Do Google consider building its own laptop like they did with Pixel and watches?
what watch you are wearing?
Why does the Chromebook Plus have use for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, Even includes touchscreen and Stylus pen
Will Chromeboxes that reach or exceed the minimum Chromebook Plus hardware specs get the same features?
I have a negative (not PLUS) Chromebook updated to v 118. How is Chromebook plus going to work for Chromebook-negative devices? Will ordinary chromebooks still work properly and get improvements? Or is it time to migrate to another OS?
Linux Mint
The same as it’s always been
@@SkidRock-od7pb 🥱
When can I update my pixelbook?
will we get chromebox plus in the future?
Do you know when Chromebook plus will come to UK
Buenas fiestas y feliz navidad! me encantaría poder tener en mi equipo ChromeOS Flex pero todavía sigue sin funcionar el sonido en el huawei matebook 14 (no detecta el controlador de sonido), también seria interesante corregir los errores del controlador gráfico ya que baja la resolución de la calidad de la pantalla, no lo muestra a 1080p. Estaría muy bien colores en las carpetas, una mejor aplicación de calculadora acorde al nuevo diseño, modo oscuro en calendar y meter el playstore en ChromeOS flex. Si Google mejorase esto en la próxima actualización 120 sería lo mejor, si alguien sabe como hacer funcionar el sonido mediante la terminal de chromeOS flex lo agradecería mucho, saludos y gracias!
Dragonfly Pro is still stuck on 117. Arrrrggghhhhhh
Can I add extra 8GB RAM or upgrade to 16GB RAM?
I have a question for you that I cant seem to find answers to. and I have no chromebook experience. 1. Can you install android apps on chromebooks? if only certain laptops how can you tell which ones before buying? 2. Can chromebook browsers use chrome broswer extentions ? Thank you in advance.
Well, let me answer your question.
For the first one you can certainly install android applications on chromebooks because basically the system is almost the same as android (but remember, you can only install applications through the play store which is usually already built-in from chromebooks) for other applications such as custom applications or special applications from outside you need a little "linux space" to install them.
next is quite easy, you may be able to distinguish it through the logo on the front (cover) of the chromebook, there is a special chrome logo to distinguish it.
And finally, of course you can use as many chrome extensions as you like because basically chromebooks optimize the performance of the chrome browser and are lighter than you might think. (unlike most existing windows installers)
What does the special logo look like?@@Sanmoromoro Also thank you for answering.
This chrome os for all Chromebook user?
i like chromebook and chromebook plus ❤
Still waiting (3 years?) for USB passthru for storage devices, game controllers, others to Linux (Crostini).
It pisses me off that I went out and spent $700 on a Chromebook and right after that Chromebook Plus came out.
Sadly the Spin 714 2023 has still not gotten 118.
They should let you put stuff on the desktop.
I thought it’s gonna be 118 features
Anyone have any idea why my Duet is still stuck on ChromeOS 117?
it might take a few more weeks to be able to access the progress of the version update, it's the same issue with some people. (although cros.tech has indicated the latest version)
There's a bug with the usb ports they're still working on.
my spin 713 cant get the upgrades rip 😭
Can Chromebook PLUS handle 4K Video Editiing? Like How?
Just got my 118 update, however I don't have the new added features...I'm using a Lenovo ideapad slim 3i chromebook, with the i3-N305 Processor , 128 GB storage , 8 GB memory , etc ALL the requirements for a Chomebook Plus!!
Is your chromebook on googles official list?
Does it have a 1080p webcam?
@@Waldherz yes it is and it does have a 1080p webcam.. Processor : Intel® Core™ i3-N305 Processor (1.80 GHz up to 3.80 GHz)

Features are still rolling out for different models so maybe with 119 for you.
Honestly, I don’t see features that are really new and useful for me 🙃
I have an HP, i3 13gen, 128gb, and 8gb ram. Still no update, stuck on 117
Same. A lot of Chromebooks have not gotten 118 yet.
Will a branded Chromebook Plus today, remain a Chromebook Plus for it's entire lifespan of updates?
Yes!
@@lincolnflick7535 That's great. So 5 years from now, this laptop will get the same features and updates that a brand new laptop would get?
@@photolabguy Yes, a branded Plus model gets 10 years of support minimum.
Good question. The intent is to support until the AUE triggers an end to updates.
However you ask a great question. Some new feature in the future may require much better hardware and Google won't want to wait for all models that can't support it to go into AUE. My guess is it could get messy,
Please feature new Chromebook Plus rated ARM based laptops. 😀
There are non.
ARM is not Chromebook Plus compatible.
Plus: dynamic wallpaper + blur background during videocalls... seems too little to me
too*
Locking tnhese features behind Intel 12th gen is stupid. Those of us with devices from 2022 and 11th gen are left out.
cool video
I don't care for these separation of features within the same OS just because the hardware is a bit different. It's why I don't care for Windows. The whole point for me was that I get the same exact lightweight experience regardless of hardware.
What if Chrome comes with a native GUI framework to promote cross-platform development?
If a browser like Chrome comes with a native GUI framework, that would be great. Web browser is already a cross-platform GUI framework, but the performance of web-based apps sucks. The browser is on every desktop and mobile OS. If it comes with a native GUI framework, that would change the state of the cross-platform ecosystem and the software distribution method, especially if the mobile browser also makes it happen. Most of the apps we use daily are not deep OS applications but just a UI with some data processing logic. If Google makes it happen, at first, they should make their Google Office suite native based on that. Chrome OS will benefit from that as well. Maybe it has better performance than Android Runtime on mobile OS.
This is not feasible on mobile OS for now, but on desktop OS, it is. For example, I don't want to install Microsoft Office on my PC, but other Office software, like Lib Office, is not that good. If Google Docs runs like a native app, I would use it. It's like a browser plugin, but it's native and can be launched alone. Those OS whose GUI software ecosystem is not as good as Windows would all benefit from this. If everybody knows, there is a stable, unified GUI framework API on all OS. Software for a specific OS like xxx for Windows and xxx for Mac will be less and less.
Google can make it on their Chrome OS first. It would be a “WPF” of Chrome OS version. By the way, put it into the Chrome Browser package. Whether developers use it or not, everyone knows that there is a stable, unified, cross-platform GUI framework on every desktop.
I'm not a Chrome user. Nothing to tempt me here. Wallpaper is something to instantly bypass when switching on. Security log in if needed but otherwise straight to Home/Start page. No interest in conference calls, Face Time etc.
How to play all android gaming on chrome os ...

Still waiting for my 2023 acer spin 714 to get 118
My Acer Spin 713 got 118 but not the plus features.
@@chrispnw2547 ok. I know the 714 hasn't gotten it. I keep hoping that it does. Thank you for letting me know. It still hasn't shown up for me at least
Looks like Acer is skipping 118.
It never got the 118 Beta and the current preview is on 119 and 120.@@sirracer2005
Essentially chasing macOS several years later, down to having model specific features. 😀
never heard of the plus variant till now...guess my lenovo 2019 is out with the ark....nope im keeping it....good till2025/6.....shame shame shame😢
This could have been a yt shorts
Is there a flag setting for mute mic, blur toolbar? Thanks
I don't care about backgrounds and screen savers, give me a real DELETE key for real typists. Do they ever let people who can actually type user test their stuff? Or is it just a group of 20 something guys playing with visuals, sheesh
"Pro" version of chromebook
Comon bro, macbook pro m3 max chip powerfull kompatible all apps
And 5 times the price
With the adoption on material you theming I'm amazed Google haven't implemented widgets on the desktop, it feels like such a wasted area on the desktop home page, even more so than windows....
Even a clock and Google search widget or something...
Nah that would be dumb
Chromebook plus asus
they need to make keyboard cover to cover keyboard while laptop is in flip mode. and they should give atleast 150gb rom bidefault in chrome book. they should leave Celeron processor. now chome book will become more and more heavier as time passes. plus they should start making only touch and type with pen hybrid laptop at affordable price. i mean to say no more traditional laptop. focus on hi bread laptop. like 2 screen laptop. like they did with phone. again it must be affordable. otherwise it will new microsoft deo device. price matter a lot to middle class customer. and success and failure don't depend on rich class. its middle class who use products every day , day and night like office photoshop etc etc. they need to get rid of this plastic button as soon as possible. 2 screen , battery on both side with motherboard in 1 side etc etc... its my thought.
I would love to see all chromebooks starting as chromebook plus.
I mean, no more cheap chromebooks, as they are partly responsable for degrading chromebooks.
And it wouldn't be a problem since at this price point, a chromebook plus delivers so much more than a windows device.
By doing this, Google would be able to give even better experiences to the users of this so underrated OS.
@@SkidRock-od7pb no, just establishing a minimum quality and reliability standart. It doesn't need to be $1000 like apple , but it doesn't need to be $100 either. $400-ish like those Chromebook plus seems to be excellent for what they could deliver. You can go cheaper than that but good luck
Fancy OS Unnecessary arty fatty processes pretty on the Eye but taking away cycles processes away from a task ,Why I prefer no frills good enough foe me XP for EXAMPLE .
