“Trapped in your uncle’s basement without food or water? No problem! Switch to Chromebook!”

"Our Chromebooks are suitable for gaming!"
Bruh my Chromebook crashes multiple times in a row opening up _Chrome._
I can even search on chrome without it crashing like wtf
Me: *plays a simple flash game on minimum graphics
Chromebook: so you have chosen... death.
🤮
That’s really oof
Hope you get windows or mac! Chromebooks are trash.
A chromebook can't even handle a Zoom Class without the CPU overheating.
My chromebook crashes when I have zoom in full screen and someone screen shares or stops screen sharing
Exactly
Edit: i said exactly and got 18 likes wtf
All I have to do is have my chrome book plugged in and running for it to overheat
fr
It can handle zoom but screen sharing crashes the laptop. Aslo if you want to game with this the game you will be playing is roblox.
This is ironic because my grandmother got me a Chromebook thinking that it was an animation laptop so now I just gotta Chromebook with a touchscreen-
Aw. It’s the thought that counts, don’t blame her for googles misleading ads.
I feel bad for grandma. I'd use the device for media consumption
"Oh no, did you game just get interrupted by an update?"
OH NO, DID YOUR VIDEO GET INTERRUPTED BY A 15 SECOND UNSKIPPABLE AD?
Oh no, did your video just get interrupted by a misleading ad? Well, never switch to chromebook for gaming!
Idk why but the voice used for the ads is annoying.
Oh no did you disable auto update? Oh boy does ur laptop ask you to update???? Did your pc update on startup??? Wow it didnt update while u using it!
I been on a chromebook before these ads, and they are not really misleading
i would say one of the worst things about my chrome book is the fact that it sometimes buffers videos. i can watch 2 secs and then it’s back to loading
Like legit, why would you write malware for chromebook? What are you going to steal? Their homework?
exactly. also its about market share. macbooks didn't get viruses until they had enough market share for it to become viable for the people making the viruses.
@@arkethel the percentage for people who has a chromebook as their daily is stupidly low, most of the time it's schools that use them for students since it's one of the most affordable laptops for most apps used in schools
Google claims there are no Chromebook viruses, probably false too. It may be hard to infect one, but there are probably viruses, especially through Crostini and Google Play.
One might want to write malware to brick all chromebooks to rid the world of them, but other than that I can't think of a reason.
@@arkethel yes so that they can add, lets say, porn to their Chromebook so they have to face the consequences.
Ads: "Get a Chromebook, with less than 10 second boot times"
Me: "Just buy an SSD for your existing computer..."
And install Linux
I mean, BeOS R4 was released back in 1998 and it would boot on most any Windows machine in under 10 seconds even though it was running on ANCIENT hard drives that were never anything remotely like fast.
or just be patient
Rebeca black gaming pc its the perfect oporating system its programming profection is only matched by its anti virus, I admire its pureity, unclouded by microsoft and apple spy ware and viruses.
I think my PC just barely goes above 10 seconds, but thats mostly because the BIOS takes easily 6-8 seconds. Then again, it has a fast boot mode and an ultra-fast boot mode, and I have neither enabled, so arguably im at fault myself. Then again, in the ultra-fast mode the only way to get into the BIOS is either through an obscure windows setting or by jumping the CMOS wires, and I wont risk that until Im done tweaking. Its not worth a few seconds boot time.
The gaming add definitely made me chuckle when I saw it. My chrome book struggles to run Microsoft teams at times and don’t get me started on loading lengthy docs files
I had to use one for zoom some time ago. The amount of times the tab would just die on me was incredible
Oh god please don't talk about doc and slides files. One time I had to present 40 slides in Google slides.
IT FUCKING TOOK 5 MINUTES
We looked like fucking idiots just standing there in front of 30 people
“Switch to booting up as fast as 6 seconds” me late to my school class because my chromebook keeps crashing
EXACTLY whats been happening with my chromebook
I had to waste money on a webcam so I could use my pc instead of that trash chrome book the school gave me.
My friend uses a Chromebook and he gets ads for Chromebook when he's on a Chromebook.
@mango All I get is ads about how an HDMI or SCART cable is the secret to having faster Wifi.
Get this new chromebook because you need more
I used the Chromebook to get ads for a Chronebook
Bruh same for me
he should switch to a chromebook
Can we talk about how Chromebooks have “hidden updates” but it still tells you that you need to restart your computer to updates it...
if you turn it off before bed every night you won't have to worry about restarting it during the day.
Umm you still disnt completly turn it off then
I just got one
Yup
Yeah my mother has a chromebook and the automatic update is bullshit. I have to manually do it.
I got my mother one as she only does simple things on a computer.
I run full blown Linux on mine.
I have a Chromebook and like 99.99% of the time it tells me:
UPDATE AVAILABLE
UPDATE AVAILABLE
UPDATE AVAILABLE
I actually had a school chromebook crap out on me, because I didn't install an update. Google claims that you wont get interrupted by updates, well at least my windows computer and iphone still work when I neglect to update them.
One time my school chromebook failed to install an update normally despite the fact I did everything right, and what happened was that every time I closed my chromebook, I open it and the chromebook restarts the entire laptop (if you can even call that pos a laptop)
@@samauman1747 why would you neglect updates? I don't use windows or Chromebooks, but ignoring updates just seem stupid from a security perspective

I’ve literally never had Windows 10 force an update while I was playing games in my entire life
It was sort of a thing back when Microsoft released Windows 10 years back. This program would almost always push the user using windows 7-8.1 to upgrade. It was very annoying
I do think it’s a bit stupid that chrome book would use that as an example just now instead of when it was relevant
Fuzzy Cactus This exactly!
Exactly.
i’ve never had windows force an update period. it’s always “hey, update required, want me to remind me later?”
I “accidentally” infected my school chrome book with 15 different viruses. I hate those things. They won’t let me use my own computer for school stuff and make the school install their shitty testing software. School problem, not chrome book.
I installed mine with wannacry
Its weird as fuck. I graduated high school last year and in college we use our own laptops and they dont even install any software to monitor us. I literally take tests and can look up the answers if I want to. No camera monitoring, no locking me in the test tab, no teacher monitoring, nothing. So basically what im saying is high school sucks balls you gotta get outta there my guy.
@@dannydevito7000 To be fair, there's a reason for that. It's a difference in mindset:
Everyone's required to go to high school. You're expected to learn the curriculum. So high schools do their best to force you to learn (with debatable effectiveness).
Colleges, on the other hand, take the philosophy of "You chose to come here to learn. Heck, you're _paying_ us to learn. If you choose not to learn from us, that's your problem."
@@TheOneGuy1111 you’re right, I don’t see why someone would bother cheating in college why be there if you aren’t trying to actually learn anything
See the problem is my Chrome book is already infected with "school stuff"
Google: “Our chromebook is a perfect gaming PC!”
Also google: *makes an operating system that can’t install video games in the first place*

Windows 10 has never randomly updated for me, I have to click restart or shutdown for it to happen.
Yeah, if you don't postpone updates for ages, Windows won't "randomly" update on you.
bIiL gAtEs PaId YoU tO sAy ThIs
I actually have the oppsite issue. I tell windows to update over night so it can be done in the morning. I then get on to see a promt asking me if I am ready to update.
Never had an issue with updates on my pc. Windows sends a little pop up window asking for an update (sometimes not even that) and I'm like ok cool. Let me just play my video games first. 5 hours passes and it gives me a shut down and update option when I'm about to turn off my pc. Takes a minute and Done.

@@Vondra666 well I was toping to just use my PC since I'm used to windows
A few points regarding your experience:
1: Cheaper Chromebooks are absolutely like cheaper laptops. You'll get what you pay for - a terrible user experience. No doubt most places using Chromebooks will also be using the cheaper ones - almost guaranteeing it's no better than your average "friend's old budget-friendly Dell/HP PC that's kept in the kitchen for their younger siblings and computer illiterate parents to run into the ground".
2: Are you 100% sure you didn't attempt to use the laptop casually and only used it for productivity? (i.e. probably google drive/docs, and your typical web browsing experience - not social media, but just viewing pages, doing research, etc..?). Many of us consider the internet to be more than googling a question: it can include some online games (html5, previously flash games), and using things like Facebook, email, and other types of social media and media consumption, and unfortunately, many of those things are surprisingly heavier weight than one might imagine, especially on a low-power device attempting for a full desktop internet experience. I'm doubtful people today would consider such things lightweight, but many still do, so it's something to consider - even people repurposing older Windows systems run into this caveat.
3: If it's overall slowness, did you confirm other devices aren't being slow at the same time in the same area (house, library, etc.)? Many eLearning sites, at least when I was still in high school and college honestly sucked, so any device, limited-access school computer/laptop or my own devices just... was terrible, and made me think very little of the school systems until I confirmed it wasn't just their computers (or mine)
Windows 10 rarely shuts down to install updates. on 99% you get a full screen message saying windows wants to restart but now you have the options to restart later and schedule when to restart.
@link 4448 no
Peter Strick not all the time u can only postpone a few times
@link 4448 it never did on me
I just postpone updates till next month lol it's not like those Windows 10 updates increase performance therefore there's no urgency.
@link 4448 nope he is correct.
Chromebooks are primarily for school assignments. That's why they exist.
Why are they not marketing this to college students?
Because their not good for collage students only for education in elementary and maybe middle school

If you were to spend that much if you didn’t need portability you could build something with used parts that would be so much better than any chromebook.
I hilarious that google is marketing a laptop that can’t even run UA-cam at 4K as a laptop that can play actual games
I think UA-cam quality matters on internet speed but I’m not sure
Yeah it’s mostly internet speed, but rendering a 4K video in realtime also takes a bit of effort, a chromebook which is optimized to only run a web browser doesn’t quite have this processing power
And that’s rendering from a pre-rasterized video, all the image data is there it just has to display to the screen, imagine trying to rasterize then render a 3D scene with reflections and visual effects, like most games nowadays do..
Wait, a Chromebook can't run 4k videos?
...wow, even my decade-old laptop could still run 4k videos (albeit 30 fps only)
Lord Potato my chromebook can run 4K videos
Edit: videos at 4k
@@sodiboo you only need 15-20mbs to render 4k, and they are already working on 4k editing, wtf are you talking about, its like you live in 1990, my internet is 1200mbs btw because its fucking 2020 and rendering 4k is literally easy and seamless as fuck. the issue is the processor of a chromebook will burn out streaming it to a 4k television over time dimwit...it's not capability at all, it's sustainability. A typical large screen normally requires at least a quadcore(you'd really want 8) processor before damage wouldn't be done to a laptop, and most chromebooks come in 2 or 4, the older ones even being single processors. As for the video capability itself, just plug it into a '4k hdmi' like no shit it will work lmfao you're so god damn dumb, and if you weren't using a chromebook to play on an 80" screen and just used it's native screen like idk, a reasonable person, then there is literally no issue at all. the fact is, using a laptop to power an 80" screen will damage any device, so these comparisons are always fucking stupid to chromebooks. I've blown out several laptops to this issue, not just chromebooks duh.
The economic model of chromebooks also seems reasonable to me. Rental plans make the low cost effectively low cost access to the internet. They have a student program, where you can get one for $15/yr as a rental, this wouldn't be possible with lots of expensive components. The fact it can also play Path of Exile at indistinguishable difference to a modern PC with adequate internet connection, is just a benefit.
Chromebook: you can’t get interrupted while playing if you can’t play.
Is that what they mean
@@FreshTheMation yup
Makes sense
Nah you can get interrupted, with the INSANE AMOUNT OF LAG simple browser games will lag to the point where they're unplayable, which imo is an interruption

What are the specs?
ok?
The only demographic I do actually see Chromebooks being used for is for either elementary, middle, or secondary school systems. The lower end Chromebooks are pretty cheap, and there is pretty much 0 need for performance, even if it is trying to work a Google Docs file. Anything beyond those basics though and the Chromebooks become effectively worthless.
My high school uses them and oh god. I have to have 1 tile on google meets to even hear the teacher. It’s so shitty
My chromebook had 2gb of ram and was utterly useless for anything except 1 tab of Google docs
I got a Chromebook for my computer iliterate mom to browse Facebook and read her mails and its perfectly fine for that use. For anything more taxing than that i really wouldnt recommend a chromebook.
I'm in high school and I tend to use my laptop instead of the school chromebooks which I haven't touched in months. Once I was upgrading my ssd to an nvme and had some problems with the boot drive so I had to use my chromebook for a few days while I fixed it. It's so bad. It takes a whole 5s to open a new tab, minutes to get onto canvas, and I felt so limited by the os. I was glad to get back to my computer with an nvidia 1550, Intel i7 9th gen, and 16gb ram. The difference was so clear.

@Ryan Salazar Probably better off getting Linux on it since it would work even on ARM ones, Windows 10 would be a nightmare on one considering how heavy it is in terms of performance usage. I have a friend with a full sized, proper new laptop that came with Windows 10 and it just chugged along before I installed Linux on it, I can't even imagine how it would be on a Chromebook.
Are you a shill?
Chromebooks are virus-less is because you legitimately can't install anything. You are stuck with Chrome and that's it. Sure you can (poorly) emulate some Android apps but that's about it.
Chromebooks do not emulate android apps, android libraries are natively available on chromebook you will just run it
also, you have access to +65% of your steam library by installing steam

So, I used to work in a retail store that sold electronics and the primary focus was computers. We sold many different brands, Chromebooks included. The amount of times we'd get students returning Chromebooks because they were misadvised by something they heard is not even funny. They'd return the Chromebook and complain saying "I can't run CAD on this!" to which i'd reply with "Well yeah I know, its a Chromebook. You need a Windows machine. The most you'll do on that work wise is typing a word document in Google Docs".

@@walker4541 no he means CAD. CAD stands for computer aided design and the student in question i guess needs it for school/college

@@AnarickTheDevil Yeah, schools seem to do their absolute best to lock Chromebooks down more than they already are. When I was in high school, they:
- Wouldn't allow us to sign into personal accounts
- Disabled every single Chrome extension besides school mandated ones (meaning all ad-blockers and Chrome themes were disabled)
These were on those shitty $100-$200 laptops too, meaning they were absolutely useless and the battery life could barely get through a single school day. Sometimes they even struggled to load UA-cam.

While I was at school, I compared the speed of my 2018 smartphone, (Snapdragon 845) to a Chromebook. The phone completely beat the crap out of it! Especially in multi core scores!
As someone that owns a Chromebook these ads were kind of hard to watch. Well like you I got mine from my Mother when she got it at a sell for Wal-mart for a 2 for $200 sale (probably less) a few years ago. A few thing I want to mention to anyone interested in a Chromebook is don't over pay for one, and especially not $1000. It is low-power enough for decent tasks to do like the few Microsoft programs to use (Word, Powerpoint, Excel) and even the simple Doc program is good for simple typing. Oh and for Gaming yea I don't think you can play that game shown (not going to try) but at MOST you can use emulators to play DS and PS1 games especially since that there is a play store app (making this more like an fancy android Phone), just have a micro USB and a controller prepared and at most play RPG rather then action games for the best experience. At most I even emulated Fallout 1 on my Chromebook with a free DOSbox emulator.
These are limitations of the Chromebook however there are positives if people are aware of the limitations themselves, and what made the ads hard to for me today is that it is aimed at potential Consumers that don't understand basic computers (which you must have stated in the video). During this pandemic I actually used some college financial aid (about $390 and unactivated windows) to build my first Windows PC and thought it has simple parts and at moment I thought I wasted the money I actually got it working and it has defiantly been worth it. To make a long story short: don't over pay for a Chromebook, get a simple one for sale if you are interested and/or save your money for a PC that is more valuable over all.
So far I am still happy with mine (typing on it right now) and I believe I have the best of both worlds with it.
Edit: This is the most likes I ever got in a UA-cam comment. Thank you all for taking the time to read and like.
My theory is if you're going to go in depth enough to run emulators and such on a brand new Chromebook, get a used laptop that can do everything better for the same price. You can have x86 support so wildly more things can run on it just as efficiently.
Try the Linux beta. You can install all sorts of programs with that. You can play most games you can on a Windows computer. However you have to keep in mind that a chromebook does not have great performance so that is the only limitation
@@Bo15307 Yea does not sound like a bad idea, however I am now learning about OS stuff and I have build my PC recently so I may get a bit comfortable with windows. If I am guessing correctly would that Bata be a good way to learn about Linux on my free time? I have gotten into steam recently, and at most the low-end games I would hope to play is the Disgaea games on steam, but I may need to learn about Virtual Machines more.
Solid bear The Linux beta is a somewhat good way to learn about Linux. You will be forced to get to know the command line a bit but not much at all. You really only have to know what “ls”, “cd”, “apt”, “nano”, “cp” and “mv” does. It’s not that hard. I would look at a few tutorials online. Reply to me in this thread if you need any help. Also, man before a command brings up a manual about the command.
