Bought my first Acer Chromebook 13 about 4 years ago for appx. $250. Just got a replacement (same model, CB5-311) for $180. Always 10+ hours of battery life, I keep open a dozen tabs or more no problem and love the interconnectivity and freedom of having my settings on any other device running Chrome. Not bad for $500 over 5 years.

KZfaq used to have an online video editing tools for simple video editing, cut video, add simple basic text, add audio, all these basic tasks works pretty well for basic editing, nothing fancy, but KZfaq decided to completely discontinued and remove that video editor. I have no idea what they were thinking, not everyone need advance video editing, a simple and basic online video editor works great for Chromebook users, those who want to produce a professional video will use Windows or Mac. this video i am watching right now, doesn't even use any special effect or professional video editing, a basic & simple video editor to cut or trim the video will do, you get my point here, not everyone need to edit their youtube video just like this video

Hey! Thanks for making this video. What do you think about the potential of Chromebook + Cloud Computing? By cloud computing, I mean the virtual CPUs, GPUs, and other services offered by Google, AWS ect. What I mean by this question is that Chromebook, with low specs, can rely on fast internet connection and cloud computing to complete heavy-duty computing works, such as video editing, game streaming. So that people don't have to invest on most advanced hardware specs on their PCs, which would be outdated in 2 or 3 years. Does it make sense? How feasible of this looks to you? Thanks!

I also need to be able to have remote access through a VPN to my servers and other systems for monitoring and management, and have the ability to update my ticket system and interact with technicians for the purposes of escalation and management etc. I am also a student -- studying an arts degree with a university here in the UK.

99% of the time I needed a laptop just for fun stuff like social media, reading, KZfaq and Netflix, and I always had a PC or a Laptop, but because it was such a waste of time to get windows updated every day for more than an hour I decided to get a chromebook I saw at a poundshop for like 40 dlls, worst case scenario I was just wasting 40 bucks, but after 3 years it still works great and I don't have to worry about the battery life or the annoying daily updates. Once this chromebook dies on me I will be getting a new one.

A non freshman university student should have little problems utilizing it. Also it depends where you live and how good the internet architecture is, if you basically never use cloud based services for your work, a chromebook might be quite unusual. Also, it is not a good primary PC for people who want gaming devices. "not good for anything" is just wrong. just maybe not good for what you wanted to do or your experience/knowledge on how to get some things running (since linux reduces a lot of limiting factors of chrome OS)

Why couldn't a Chromebook be used as a front-end access/control to a Windows Based computer? One could connect (via USB-C connection) a very fast, high-performance windows computer that would act as a Windows software co-processor to a Chromebook thus achieving access and performance features of a Windows or Mac Computer. The Chromebook would only need to be a controller of the Windows computer attached to a large 4K Display for output. I think this will work with the right software. I also believe that Google, Apple, and Microsoft are working on Cloud-Based graphics and video compute processing that could be utilized by every Chromebook leaving high-end processing (Graphics, Video, Database, and AI...) in the Cloud.

Hey there. Great video on the Crome book. I am a book writer which I need a basic app-based machine for making kindle books for Amazon. I realize I cannot do hard-core editing but my iPad does that with Apple. Can I take a memory card such as an SDHC 128 GB or less, and use that to play media from camera and lets say, a voice recorder? Also, in my documents I create for kindle books, can I add photos from other apps or memory cards especially from my camera? I am planning on getting a basic model possibly tomorrow, of the Crome book, and need to know as many specks before I make the purchase. I also will be using something called Crome Vox, the text to speech application for the blind as I do have low vision and have trouble reading certain texts. In google slides, can I add personal videos and audio to my slides? I may be making a presentation from time to time for book writing workshops in the future when Covid lifts to the point we can feel safe for travel and have more events at local libraries.

You can still use the Chromebook after Google no longer supports it, just like tablets and cellphones. But it is safer to have the latest Chrome OS. Some apps might not run if the Chrome OS is not the latest version. Usually, you can tell if the Chromebook on sale is outdated based on the spec sheets. On Amazon, you can actually find out how long that product has been on sale. Avoid those been selling for a few years because of the OS support issue.

How do I get around my lenovo chrome book not having a USB port?

Please give a suggestion for a better device than this. I just got mine, it came very fast, scuff marks everywhere, shows movies bad, its weird. What can i get instead for around the same price.

Best bit about Chromebooks is the security. Every job is in a separate sandbox unlike PCs. Best tip I had was to close down every time. Don't just close the lid as you would on Windows PC cos it takes so long to close and open. Chromebooks close and open in a few seconds and every time you open it checks for bugs and upgrades in the background. Last thing is the ease of use having a keyboard, pad and touchscreen on the same machine. You never knew you wanted it till you tried it

I use my Chromebook for 93% of my work and love it, but then there's Photoshop. Sigh. I do graphic design work as a part of my side hustle and Photoshop is a must. Maybe someday, Adobe will work something out. Until then, I'll need two devices - one that I use everyday and one that just sits there gathering dust until I have to do some graphic work.

photopea.com is good, it resembles Photoshop pretty well. You can also enable Linux on your chromebook (via the settings menu) and install gimp using the command line, "sudo apt-get install gimp"

@muneerfaizal4073 3 жыл бұрын

unless you are a PC gamer or edit videos on the go it's better to pick a chromebook over any windows or Mac Chromebooks are cheaper, it has better battery life , it boots up faster, it just requires a Google account and everything can be accessed via the cloud

Funny, with Crostini you will definitely be able to do much more serious a/v editing. Gpu acceleration is coming out now. Been in Oz for 6 months and brought my CB with me to travel with. I love my CB but would love to have a higher end CB for the future (i5/7 8gigs Ram.) I can't find the latest and greatest, higher end lenovo and Asus CB here at affordable prices. Amazon US won't ship to Aus. Any recommendations on where to check for competitive prices?

@@itGenius_ Thanks for the response, On your sight there is only one chromebook offered. And it doesn't sport the latest kernel nor does it take advantage of Crostini. Which is the very complaint I was expressing. At this point it seems like it would make more sense to pick up a Dell xps 13 on sale and throw Cloudready on it. Because the Australian Chromebooks are so out of date and a little bit overpriced when compared to US models.
