Chrome Unboxed how do I get computer games on my chromebook
Another thing, that I need to consider, which isn't mentioned in this video, is aspect ratios, and normal resolutions, so I would want either an oled or IPS display, 16x9, only, no 18x9, normal resolutions, such as 1280x720p,1920x1080p, 2560x1440p and 3840x2160p, just to name a few, 4gb/6gb or 8gbs of RAM, mainly I just want it to fly through anything I'm doing, also battery life and weight needs to be lite, also 15inches or above screen size wise, if the screens not 55inches, or above 18x9 isn't/shouldn't be an option, I wouldn't want 18x9 anyway, but 16x9 ONLY, 1920x1080p or 2560x1440p, would probably be best, for battery life. Anyway this kind of needs to be mentioned.
Would love to buy their keyboard and touchpad but you can not find them in the Netherlands.
Chrome Unbo
If you live in Canada, add $100 to the original price. You welcome.
If you live in Russia, you do not have any chances to buy it at all :(
If you live in México, add $500 to the original price... :'(
if you live in Ukraine, buy pixelbook for 500$, as I did :)
E. Papadopoulos i can help you to buy it, if you want
wait what fucking why?
Chrome Unboxed: “ Bridge with a Y”
Me: Bridgey?
Man, this channel has really grown so much in the quality of the content as well as the topics covered, I love these vids. Thank you Chrome Unboxed. Much Love.
I switched to a Pixelbook for work a few months ago, and honestly, I don’t think I can go back to anything else. It’s hard to put a finger on what it is exactly that makes it so great, but the intangibles of the Pixelbook are second to none.
I believe it follows the same concept of emergence. For example, the Verge’s “This Is My Next” episode on Chromebooks (now outdated) ruled the Acer Chromebook R11 the best Chromebook due to it having “the best combination of features” at the time. It doesn’t have the best screen, or the keyboard, or the best specs, or even rock-solid build quality, but when put together they come forth to bring an excellent user experience.
The Pixelbook follows the same story-silicone palm rests, 3:2 (which is still a “weird” resolution to some people) screen, the glass shade on the lid, aluminum build, huge storage, Y-series 7th gen processors-but this time, those combination of features are a huge step up from the R11. Again, it doesn’t have the best screen (Pixel Slate takes that), or the best build (that glass shade, functional as it is, is still liable for easy breakage), or the best specs (all mid-range and premium Chromebooks released in the past 6 months beat the Pixelbook in CPU/RAM/storage), but its the emergent experience of using all of this that makes it great to use.
t. Pixelbook owner
P.S. The keyboard, as I did not note under the “not the best” list, cannot be matched by any other Chromebook on the market! :)
🙋🏻♂️🇨🇴 I loved this video! Please make it a regular thing every 6 months
Yup
This vedio helped me a lot
Watching this on my Pixelbook! I've had it for over a month now and absolutely love it. The keyboard is just as amazing as everyone says, if not better.
Pixelbook is definitely nice.
I love it, but it's a bit too expensive for me for a Chromebook tbh
Got my Pixel book from Best buy last year on that student price + trade in deal. Still my go-to daily driver.
@@vlesmeries Do you get root on your own computer?
@@ianedmonds9191I haven't tried. I have a much cheaper Chromebook for my Crouton needs.
The Acer Chromebook spin 13 was the winner for me.
Speakers louder than most laptops I use. The pixel book it's great in many aspects but The Acer wins in 2 really ones the sound is so much louder and it's got a bigger screen plus it's cheaper too with the processors compared to pixel book.
Thanks for the recommendation so happy with it.
I just bought my first Chromebook, the HP Chromebook 15 (essentially a watered down version of the x360) - its absolutely brilliant and I love it, I won't be going back to Windows!
HP Chromebooks FTW! Love my G5 Touch, I've been on ChromeOS for a few years now, and I have not desire to leave to go back to MS or Mac!
Same 👍
How much and were did u get it from
give us a 6 months update? you still like it?
Hey man it’s been a year or since u posted this comment tell me now
How’s your chromebook is it still good?
Still wish someone will make a Chromebook with one upgradable ram slot so we can upgrade ram, one nvme slot for people who want to add storage
I could see Nvidia doing it and branding it as a Streaming laptop, so you can stream PC games onto it. Or if Google makes its streaming service and open platform I could see many companies making Chromebooks with gaming centered builds made for streaming off the Google service
You can do it on a Chromebox ... up to 16gb ram.
I buy regular laptops or the thin laptops with similar battery life and I install Chrome OS (from Neverware) on it. My current cheap laptop I like is a Dell Latitude 3000 (or 3500) which can hold up to 64 GB DDR for like 300.00 and can do Intel Optane.
I just purchased the Asus 302 Flip. My first Chromebook. I love it! Watching earlier videos of yours helped me make that decision. Great videos, keep em comin' ! Thx for posting.
I have the same and would look at the 434 if i needed to upgrade but in some areas the 302 is still better, smaller, lighter, better battery life, but would be nice to have that 434 screen...
@@jodyporter3879 I agree with you on the screen issue, other than that I see no need to upgrade.
@@fasteddy60 i think you made a fantastic choice, i picked up the pixelbook and i love it. I was very close to picking up a c302 or the c434 but i'm happy with what i chose
Not bought yet, but to me this ticks all my boxes I think
Logitech makes reallly great keypads! I have one for my tablet, getting old now, my tablet
Please keep this type of video coming twice a year would be awesome! I am exactly looking for this type of video. I would even love to see less than 299 as bottom. I loved the old 150-199 Chromebook price.Thank You!
Just watched the 2019 Chromebook and here it is 2023 and I am liking my Chromebook Acer Spin 311, and the Hp, overall Chromebook has been the way to go.
We have 3 Pixel books in our business. We have tried several others that just do not compare.
Yeah, they are not cheap but the price comparison to preference make the extra cost worth it.
We own a 3D printing business so we have to do high end drawings in 3D. It has no issues displaying the rendering in a few seconds.
Purchased the old Dell Chromebook 13 that had that carbon fiber-looking skin on the top when it came out at the end of 2015. Everything still runs great almost 3years later. All the mid-range models you mentioned look fantastic, but this Dell Chromebook 13 needs no replacing just yet. I'm surprised how long chromebooks can last,coming from Windows devices growing up.
@@deadpool6072 I don't use much Android apps to be honest but the ones I do use are Microsoft office,Netflix,Spotify,Facebook and they all run smooth in the background when connected to fast internet. The Dell Chromebook 13 i have is the base-model from 2016 so you honestly should go with the newer Chromebooks from 2018-2019 unless you can find this one new or refurbished for cheap.
9:12 the resolution you're looking for is 2256x1504
This is a well done, conversational type of review. Love it.
Love my Lenovo C630, the non-4k version imo is the best.
I personally would put the Dell Inspiron Chromebook 14 as winner of Category 2. But fair enough. I prefer a stronger hinge and a stronger build overall.
Compare this list with the chrome update policy before buying
Just got the Acer Chromebook 15 about a month ago with the touchscreen and backlit keyboard and am really happy with it. Really responsive and the big screen is easy on the eyes.
Hi if you don’t mind
How’s the acer chromebook now that u have it over a year since u posted this comment do u recommend?
Strongly considering the hp x2. The detachable tablet looks really nice.
Wow, your reviews are real world...direct and the production is easy to watch. Well Done!
I like how honest you are. Like it helps a lot when we’re trying to buy a laptop
im using the acer chromebook 314 intel celeron i payed £230 in 2020 i really like it and the charge time is quick
just checked the specs of the Acer Chromebook 15 on their website. There are two variants, with touchscreen and without one. make sure you buy the right one if you are looking for the touchscreen feature.
Would love a 2020 edition
Samsung Plus V2 w m3 at Best Buy for $400 (and I had a $50 rebate, so $350 in all). Love it.
Pixelbook Go has 4K screen too but you helped me decide against going for the 4K model honestly. Also read a rumor that it may be harder to find compatible Android apps using 4K models.
I think that plus v2 will be $299.99 black Friday 2019. Because of watching multiple videos of yours, I decided that's gonna be the best Choice for me. Thank you.
I brought a Lenovo Yoga C630 in March from watching this channel. Thanks.
Dell 14, pen, backlit keys, aluminum, 1920 - 128gb, 4gb ram - 399 best buy. Only con is its heavy.
tnx 4 that information i was wondering about DELL /like them /hav bought'em thru tha years.
@@kamalakrsna Just checked best buy and its back up to 549, but it was on sale for 399 when I got it 2 weeks ago as my first chromebook. Really enjoying it. It also has an IPS screen with an intel i3 with a intel 620 vid.
I just picked up one up for daughter, loving it!
Fantastic summary, thanks very much! Will definitely guide me for my next Chromebook purchase.
I have the HP Chromebook X2 and I would choose it over the Pixel Slate 100x. The X2 is very well built. It has the same balance as the Slate, when you use it as a tablet. And you don't need a 3rd party keyboard, because it already has a great one. It's perfect to me.
Disappointed to find that the Duet doesn't work for UA-cam live stream. UA-cam Studio cannot recognize the front camera. on the device, only the rear camera.
I have the Acer Spin 13. Amazing laptop, does everything I need
any screen problems or stylus problems? Mine gets dark loose pixels near the bottom. If I turn it sideways it will move to the side that is now on the bottom
@@asher6657 Had it for 3 to 4 months now, no problems as of yet. Just when turning on you can see a bit of light bleed. But either than that stylus and screen have been working as they should
I have the Samsung Chromebook Pro & The Google Pixel Slate. I love them both. The slate has come a long way since launch. I don't have any issues anymore. I bought it because my Samsung had a really bad glitch after an update that bricked it. I eventually ended up fixing it with ease after I figured out what it was. Now I have both and use both.
Excellent, excellent video! Very straight forward and succinct. Off to try and find some of these in big box stores to try!
Thank you for the better solutions on how to find best chromebooks.
I bought a Pixelbook because of this and other videos y'all have made. Took some time getting used to, but I really enjoy the experience and versatility, and gets me 95% percent of the way there. I still love Macbooks, but just cannot pay that much for a machine with some questions still surrounding hardware, namely the keyboard.
Another spot on analysis with excellent opinions combined with relevant facts! I bought the 8GB ASUS Chromebook Flip C434 because of your previous videos. You were soooo right with your assessment/comparisons. Thanks for your expertise.
I picked up the HP X360 14 from Best Buy for $449, awesome purchase!
Love mine !
Just got one. Hopefully it's good. Need it to not screw up on me with college starting.
@@Revealingstorm. I got mine in January. It has run flawlessly so far. Even my 2015 Pixel 2 was giving me problems with the screen and track pad after the 1 year warranty ran out. I still use it from time to time, but it needs rebooting, sometimes two reboots in a row, when those problems come up during use.
@@Stephen_A. nice. Thanks for the heads up. Glad I picked it up.
@@Revealingstorm. If HP's quality holds true, you will have a good machine. It is quite fast and reliable so far. I haven't used as a tablet yet so I can't attest to that. I haven't even put it in tablet mode yet. I guess I am just too much of an old school laptop user. :) Enjoy and Good Luck in college and with the Chromebook. Stay on top of your assignments, college work can get overwhelming very quickly if you fall behind.
I have one of the older Acer Chromebooks. It's made out of a cheap plastic and the hinges that hold up the screen, allowing it to open and close, break ALL THE TIME.
I'm going to install a back lit keyboard on my lenovo 630c but I think personal between the its a great machine and does everything I need it to do.
I really enjoyed this video as I am a Chromebook lover! I have a mid-tier Acer Chromebook, 15 inches that is my daily driver. I am hoping to acquire a more expensive one soon.
Which one do you have ?
Wow..that's a hell of a vision...thanks for the clarity...I am Google fan boy too..was little confused which one to choose From. Great help
Slate or Pixelbook Go?
Pixelbook or Pixelbook Go?
THOSE VIDEOS I NEED TO SEE - Your opinions there would help immensely.
*Sorry, UA-cam has a terrible comment system for people who like to reply on the spot.. I'm trolling your notifications today.
Pixelbook Go or Pokemon Go?
I have a HP x2 Chromebook. It has it's minor problems that annoy me but in general I love it and am pretty satisfied with it
Omar Jimenez What are the minor changes?
Are these great for English/writing students? I just damaged my Mac with breast milk and I need to get something quick before this next semester starts. I need to write a TON and have great battery life. That’s pretty much all I use my computer for.
It was expensive, but I'm really loving the Pixel Slate. It started as just a tablet to watch UA-cam and Netflix on, but more and more I find myself preferring to use it over my windows laptop.
Where’s the Chromebook R13
I might buy a Lenovo N22 Chromebook. But I dont know if 11.6" is too small for everyday usage and some media consumption. Btw it costs $110 brand new.
need to refer to processor and screen size or we r without any idea what u r talking about.
Love love LOVE my Asus Chromebook Flip C434. Hands down the best Chromebook I've ever owned and used. The bezel free screen is stunning and watching movies, UA-cam videos etc. on the device is fantastic. The speed is great, even with the lesser 4GB RAM model and I've never had any issues with lag or productivity issues. Also the battery life is phenomenal!! I don't see what all the fuss is about with the overpriced Pixelbook so imo the best Chromebook of 2019 hands down is the Asus Chromebook Flip C434. You won't regret owning one!
I have an Acer chrome book spin 15 which apparently has been discontinued. I like it very much. My number 1+ on this is the outstanding sound quality and volume because I am older and hard of hearing. I am a Mac fan that rarely uses my Mac anymore I do Still have a 12 inch iPad that I use quite a lot well actually every single day a couple hours put my go to is no longer my MacBook error and is now my Acer spin 15
I have the Spin 13 i5/8GB/128GB. I actually use it for work. I love the device - and flipping it to play Mario Run on the 13.5 inch screen is a real trip. :)
Cool. I can't wait to get my Chromebook. It's amazing that people are using it for work.
I have a HP Chromebook! I'm using it right now
I have the lenovo c330 and it gets the job done
Chrome OS is something that I am deeply interested in but I am currently waiting tables so I can't exactly afford to jump into a big computer purchase without knowing what I'll get. Ive really been considering the Pixel Slate in part because I absolutely gate windows 10 but that's a big chunk of change for something I have no hands on experience with
I wish somewhere near me had a loaner program or something so I could spend a week with the Pixel Slate and see if it's something I could live with
Google offers a 90 day trial when you activate your chromebook or pixel slate. If you don't like it, you can return it within the 90 days.
Okay look, I've heard a lot of different specs for the asus c523 chromebook but look here. My c523 has these specs:
- 15" full hd touch screen with nano edge bezels
- Intel pentium 4200 cpu
- 4gb ram 64gb storage
- Aluminum top with the rest of the body - being plastic
- 2x usb c ports
- 2x usb a 3.0 ports
- Micro sd slot
- Non-backlit keyboard
-price was for me when i found it on sale 379€ with msrp being 499€
super helpful thanks! going with the yoga! thanks for helping me choose!
I actually have the Acer chromebook 15 and I love it.
How much is it and where did u get it from
I need to know... Is there anything in that cup and is the laptop turned on?
--- when buying Chromebooks ALWAYS look on
Auto Update policy
Chrome devices receive automatic updates regularly that enhance both the device itself and the software on the device. Chrome device updates are designed to be simple for the user and, therefore, include updates to the device, Chrome operating system, browser and firmware. However, end-to-end updates for all our devices to ensure the highest levels of security requires dependencies on many third-party hardware and software providers so we cannot indefinitely ensure that older Chrome devices will receive updates to enable new OS and browser features.
support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6220366?hl=en
Thanks for bringing this up. I got the Acer Chromebook R11 for $99 used. The auto updates expire in June 2021 so I'm ok with that.
Just got the Lenovo C330 for my 6th grader to do homework on.
i have the samsung chromebook plus v2 LTE its a great computer but the LTE stopped working after 1 month of ownership that wasnt a deal breaker its still real good keyboreds great and so is the screen
It stopped working after one month of ownership. And that’s not a deal breaker ? Lol. Ok
Pixelbook with the i5, fastest machine I've ever owned
Should buy a used or refurbished Chromebook
YES! I’m getting the Acer Chromebook and I love it! The design is lovely, thank you for the feedback. Is it good for essays?
What kind is it
The category 1 winner came out at the beginning of 2018. Isn't that a problem?
Why would that be a problem?
It's the best you can buy now. Who cares when it came out?
how can i play full fledged games such as beamng drive without using stadia or any cloud gaming services on a chromebook
Aluminum production is the most polluting for the climate that exists. For me, security of a chromebook is paramount. Pay attention to this during the purchase.
Levovo 4K blows the pixel away
Unless you like battery life
When stadia comes out on Chromebook, it'll be in business (for gaming needs)
The Asus 423 has a celeron. Avoid HD displays on chromebooks. Colors are very innacurate and text is soft.
Great video! Thank you for sharing.
Would really like to see a review of the ASUS Flip 214MA. Sounds like a winner if you want a 11.6" Chromebook. Interested in your opinion.
Love the ASUS C434T recommended by your channel. What a great laptop and a tablet combo!
Got a Acer Chromebook 14 for work from back in 2016 second hand, and I like it so far, but update ends in 2021. For 200 us it beats tons of entry level ones today, I bet with a core I 3 7 series cpu and 8g ram in side it would use the os far beyond 2021.
I've now had my PixelBook for a year and two months. Although I LOVE the design in terms of its weight and size, there are a lot of known issues with them! After a year, mine no longer charges, nor does it power on. It's essentially broken... No longer functional. For a product in the 1000$ price range, these problems are far too frequent... No support either, no repair solutions. It's unfortunate.
the google pixel slate is £450 with the keyboard for free, is it worth it?
Nice. What do you think about the NEW Google Pixel GO?? Seam a little high with little / no ports. I think that the ASUS Flip c434 is a better buy. What are your thoughts.
Bought my first Chromebook a refurbed Lenovo X131e because I have been tired of widows for a couple of years and then went Linux but after my 3rd distro crashed after an update I gave Linux up. I was thinking Mac but I managed to avoid having to drink the kool-aid. The good thing about this old Thinkpad is that the updates will no longer happen. Because it is passed the cycle.
Perfect timing! Thank You...
For those asking, chromebooks are not really meant for gaming. It's really for your basic browsing and schoo/job work.
I just bought one 💻 today , thank you for the video
I still love my c202
I got my Pixelbook for around $450. Needless to say it was a steal.
i got a chrome book i really like it its perfect for me i like the price it works very good
Slate is perhaps the better choice if you use a lot of android app in tablet mode
Always great videos.
I'm looking to get a Chromebook and would like to use kinemaster to edit videos. I currently use my phone but would like more versiltility. Are there any Chromebooks you would recommend for this task? Thanks
I was thinking about getting a Google Chromebook until I heard about the End Of Life. The end of life is 5 years after the laptop was made. So no software updates. I was thinking that if I get a Samsung Chromebook Plus, it will be vulnerable to new viruses. Any suggestions?
Are software updates that important? I've got a HP 11 2000nl from 2014, just stopped receiving updates but it doesn't really make it useless. Not more than it is already 😂
Chromebook’s are fun to use. I recommend downloading an open-source Chromium OS before buying a Chromebook.
I've tried this in the past with the Arnold the Bat builds but no Linux or android support on those which is what I'm really curious about
Project Crossiant looks interesting but I don't care to risk my only computer which still works as well as Window 10 allows
Got a second hand Acer Chromebook 15 CB3-532 ~$100 for pretty much unused condition - curious of Chrome OS and what development tools it has (crouton/crostini, android apps and whatnot). Higher end models seems to follow the same idea of using odd components combo way to often putting them in the same price point as high quality Windows tablets with M.2 and Thunderbolt... and like new AMD Chromebooks with ancient AMD CPU -_-
Maybe someone will make a chromebook/Full Linux performance system at a good price-point ;) software developers machine.
I've been using the hdmi on my 3 year old Chromebook to connect to my TV monitor. I've noticed that a lot of these new Chromebooks don't have a HDMI connection. Is it still possible to easily connect these new Chromebooks to a TV?
Acer 15 wins versus the R11 only slightly, if the R11 had backlit keyboard and aluminum it would be perfect!
that's so funny - my 1st book was Acer 15, just moved to Flip C434. Kinda know what's next now :)))
Category 1= Free Chromebooks? 🤔
To people who wanted to buy the Acer Chromebook 15, don't forget to check the AUE.
