Lon! Thanks for posting this video
Thank you for thanking him
Great video, very informative!!!
Thanks for another great Chromebook review, Lon!
I used to buy Chromebooks, but once Apple came out with Apple Silicon, I realised they were uncompetitive. Recently bought a refurb M2 MB Air 15-inch base (8GB/256GB...same spec as this) for £700. It is 50% more, but it beats it out comprehensively on every metric. For a 5-7-year investment, I know which will age much better so the extra cost will pay for itself easily.
Now, the Chrome on ARM browser is as efficient as Safari, and MB Air can easily be a much better alternative to Chromebooks, which is around the £500 range if you look hard enough. I tested my MB Air using Chrome, and the last full charge gave me 18 hours of SOT over a week of usage (7 days standby).
Let's go 🔥
Great review Lon! Do you if these new Chromebook Plus features will be coming to desktop Chromeboxes?
I am pretty sure if the desktop meets the standard it’ll get the features
Gotcha.
7:38 & 9:32 Great tip for "Android" & "Chrome OS" users about CPU architecture. Would like to see some good recommendations for "Cromebooks" with "ARM" CPU.
I have the duet 5 8gb i have to compare chromebook plus features.
I wish you talked about heat output and fan noise :-/
Any plus models with ARM?
how about fan noise?
Shouldn't the speedometer score be for v3?
He would have to re-test all the older models he's comparing to.
Too bad they didn’t include the awesome x360 hinges and touchscreen.
I think they do have an x360 version of this one!

I will no longer buy HP. Bought a computer and one week after the warranty went out it broke. HP wanted more than what I paid for it to fix it and it would not have a warranty on what they fixed. I took it to a locale computer repair shop. They said they could order the parts and repair it, but they did not want to fix it because HP designed the computer to break. They said the fix might last a week a few months. They said even if worked longer they didn't want their name on it because they didn't want people to thank it was them. BTW it was the hinge that broke. 🤐
Thanks for the tip. I will stay away from HP.
I still have my HP (g72) laptop bought in 2011, and it still works without issues. Sure, it's dated, but for a plastic build.
Maybe current HP laptops or after 2011 models have probably been lacking lately.
i had audio devices, nvme ssd, whole laptops, and some random other things all break days after warranty, the speakers the next day. bro. its timed at this point.
@@patricklasko1360 This one is not that old. Old stuff was better. Now their printers only last a while and then you can't get parts nor support.
Same experience, here in the office we had three Elitebooks (the high end business laptops) which all have issues. Battery, four times the keyboard broke, motherboard failure, ram slot failure and ports failing all within 3 years time....
Drives me nuts... Why do Chromebooks use lower case characters on keys?
I like it, it seems much more natural to me. Not everybody shouts everything all the time, uppercase is much less used.
one second too short
14-inch screens are only suitable for casual work in a cafe, working on them for a long time unfortunately worsens your eyesight.
You know what never drops two frames? The M1 iPad Air thats 33 pct off at walmart at 399. It was 599 until the M2 Air came out. Buy the ipad or buy a full windows CPU if you need actual computing but a Chromebook’s is neither here nor there nor a good deal.
And yet the Chromebooks I use - edu tablets, sometimes with detachable keyboards - shut down and start up so quickly, and update so quickly, that I often grab one for quick browsing an YouTubing.
@@mdubb4855 the iPad I mentioned above is capable of the new Apple intelligence and has at least four more years of complete updates left for just $400. It’s better for browsing the Web because it does desktop class browsing with a mouse or your finger in an above average manner.
@@mdubb4855 M1 air with Apple intelligence and four full updates left after this update has a desktop class browser and better screen for you tube.
You know how you can tell people you have no idea what you're talking about? This comment!
Every device drops between 1-3 frames when spinning up a video. Even my M1 Max MacBook Pro and the new M4 iPad Pro. If you had stats for nerds open in UA-cam when playing videos you'd see it regularly has 2 dropped frames at the start.
For video consumption there hasn't been a noticeable difference between what CPU you use for some years now. They all (Snapdragon/Apple, Intel, AMD) all include hardware acceleration for video playback.
Even this video had 1 dropped frame at the beginning on my M1 Max MacBook Pro as I'm typing this!

Sad there ok but 14 inch is embarrassing and to play games you can buy a used machine.
never buy hp!!!!!!!!! ever!!!!! i have experience!!
Privacy nightmare, avoid at all costs.
