What is Chrome OS? | Chrome OS Basics for Newbies #chromebook
Since the day it was launched, there are a lot of misconceptions about Google's Chrome OS and the things they can or can't do. We thought to put together an introduction to the basics for anyone who's curious to know more about the platform. Watch this video for more info.

I come from a Windows background (since early 90s), so I know a bit about PCs, and it's great to see a Chrome OS review "for newbies", but without it being too dumbed down. You got the balance just right. Many thanks :-)

Lol dude I got you beat when I started I only had aol and 144bud modem to get online VGA display and sound blaster sound card Yes that's right All those are extra options some time I have to setup IRQ so they won't interfere with each other but that was the fun in trying to figure those out and install driver on window 3.0 no plug n play next step probably will be brain interface which is a helmet like device to wear and can interact with PC maybe even it will devices hook up to our sense kinda like a VR games so with Chrome os been in the cloud my grandson is probably going to spend his life in the VR cloud for school,fun and date 🥰🤪who knows what is going to happen in the future and when I started I be happy I have a 144byte connecting speed gigabyte speed sounds like a science fiction novel

I was a long term windows user ( I am 66 and have had a personal computer since the commodore 64). I was running windows 7 on my 12 year old pc. It was so slowwwww! I just bought a chrome book 2 weeks ago and I love it. I am convinced that the majority of pc users would be better off with a chrome book. I was worried that my excel and word apps would no transfer over but they work great on Google docs. Besides all this it is much more economical.

I tried using Chrome OS via triple boot on my 2014 HP laptop with Pentium N3530 CPU, 4GB DDR3 RAM, and 500GB SATA HDD. It was painfully slow to run games in it. More than that, some mobile games like Real Racing 3 can't be installed in Chrome OS. So really, Chrome OS is nothing more than just a glorified RAM-eating Chrome browser with Android tablet app support. To be brutally honest, I'd rather buy a flagship-grade smartphone that has Desktop Mode capability like Samsung, LG, and Huawei instead of a Chromebook laptop.

6:15 "The only apps that will run are Chrome addons, chrome plugins or android apps". I'd say that already wasn't that limiting, but now long after the release of this video, add in the option of installing full Linux desktop applications. It adds up to Chromebooks being fairly versatile, affordable computers. I've actually been looking at Chromebooks for more of a media consumption device, to replace an aging Android tablet (that market has shrunk & feels stagnant). So for my purposes, using the android apps (or the chrome browser) will probably service most of that, but with the added option of installing some desktop Linux apps (if say I wanted something like GIMP photo editing).
