It is pretty easy to get lost in all this Chrome OS news on a daily basis and forget the large number of users who may be sitting in front of a Chromebook for the very first time today. After a few years of researching, reviewing and writing about Chromebooks, it becomes very tempting to just assume everyone knows what they are getting into when a new Chromebook arrives.
But, as we all know, that simply isn't the case. So, if you are a Chromebook ninja or a regular reader of Chrome Unboxed, this post and video may not exactly be down your lane. Sure, there may be something in here you haven't encountered, but the chances are slim that any of this will be news to you. However, there's a really good chance that someone you know is new to the Chromebook scene. For those folks and for anyone else new to Chrome OS, this video is for you.
We want to spend a few minutes highlighting some of the more important things you need to know as you take your new Chrome OS device out of the box. Absorbing this amount of content would be a lot if you're just reading it, so we put together a video with all the tips in an easy-to-watch, easy-to-consume form.
Getting started with a new device and a new operating system can be a lot, so hopefully, this helps make the process less stressful for you or someone you know. Without further ado, here are 10 things you need to know if you are new to Chromebooks!

How to print with this chromebook?
I thank you very much for this video. I bought my first Chromebook a year ago, and struggled. This short video just doubled my knowledge, especially the tip on the 'gestures' functions, and how to use my fingers. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge, I'm now better for having seen this.
I’ve literally been struggling with this for over six months I’m so happy I discovered this video
6 months!? My first week with a Chromebook, most things felt natural and anything I didn’t know, I just quickly Googled.
Today is 12-01-2021 and I just bought my first Chromebook to help me take online classes and so far I really like it but I'm a little lost. I haven't been on a computer in 15 years... your videos are very helpful, Thank you and please keep going!
There are so many things I didn't know how to do on my chromebook a year ago. I've been really frustrated and didn't know how to navigate. This guy explains so much, kinda like sitting with a friend who can talk to me on my level. I will save this site and come back to it to recall his many tips. Thx!!!
Singing...at lasssst. Thank you for being quick thorough and to the point. Most tutorials are overly complicated or overly simplified. You hit the sweet spot!
Outstanding video! Just bought a chromebook to play around with it and I am astonished by it's performance and simplicity. Your tips were very informative, I did not realize there was an SD card slot. Thanks
Thank you so much! You are amazing at explaining and getting me ready for my new Chromebook. If only all instructors were as adept at getting information across as you are, no matter the subject, just think what a wonderful world this would be! :D
great video! this guy is like reallllllllly down to earth and easy to follow in the video. i like how he calmly cuts down to the chase quickly and informs the viewer about chromebooks.

Getting a Chromebook for Christmas, thanks for all these tips! Sure I will be watching the video over and over again

Hey thank you for this video. I got my chromebook for christmas 2020. And now I feel that I have learnt more alot about my device & the features on it as well. really helped me to understand a lot about the Chromebook.
Hey, a super presentation, so easy to understand, good B roll clips to see the function as it's being explained. Great job!
Great videos as always. Would be nice to see a sequel to this video with more pro user tricks.
man, you made me fall in love with theese things
I have had the same chrome book a long time. 5 years or longer. I still works as good as it did when I got it. It's so fast. Only problem is it will not update any longer. I'll get a link to where I can buy a new chromebook. Some sites say my version is no longer supported. But there are many sites it work just fine.
I really love the thing. The email, google drive, photos and docs is what I use the most. I did order a new one recently and look forward to getting it and see what's new.
PERFECT! I have wanted a Chromebook for years! I just purchased one and was stumped until I saw this. Thank you so much. I LOVE my Chromebook now!
Very well presentation, especially for anyone just starting with Chromebook after years with the Microsoft systems. Hope to see more of these in the future. Great Job!
i feel like i could fall asleep to this. great presenter, great voice. great video in general. i've had my chromebook for years now but i learned something from this video! thank you!
this speaks volumes. if someone can own a chromebook for years & not be able to optimise their usage without a video tutorial, you can safely conclude that chromebook interface is not intuitive
@@christennent5530 I wonder if that's just the case for iOS users. I've been a stock Android user for years and feel like I would've figured these out..
Very happy that I stumbled across this tutorial. Learned a lot and fell a little better about my very recent purchase.
my thoughts exactly. I feel more relaxed, because chromebooks are complex.
Just bought my chromebook pixelbook for my birthday in August. Loving it. These tips are perfect. Subscribed.
GETTING ONE TOMMROW AND THIS VIDEO IS REALLY *HELPFUL*
You poor soul...
Thank you for a very informative video, absolutely helpful. I'm brand spanking knew to Chromebook, so far I'm really enjoying the experience!
I LOVE my Chromebook. I have very simple needs, and it's so smooth and hassle-free for me. I love that I can't lose anything. I buy a new Chromebook, sign in, and everything is just there.

This is exellent. Should be required viewing for any and all purchasing a chromebook.
excellent .... just got my chromebook and your presentations is super helpful ... thank you
What a pleasant morning surprise. This afternoon my Chromebook is arriving, and until I watched this video I had no clue what to expect. Thank you.
I bought Chromebook as a second laptop for school work & writing only since my 15-inch gaming laptop is a little too much at times. I was a little nervous at first to get Chrome OS because I was worried I wouldn't be able to do all the things I'm doing in school and for my story writing but I've had it for 2 days now and absolutely satisfied.
I just found your channel through searching for tips and tricks for the Chromebook & immediately subscribed!
Hello, sorry to bother you. I would like to get a Chromebook to do all the things you said. What kind of software do you use for writing on your device?
Hello Pia. I also have the same question as Ricardo.
@@riccardoferrazzano6341 Did you finally get yours?
@@riccardoferrazzano6341 i switches to a win10 laptop & but i used google docs! :)
Great tips! I just got a chromebook and this made starting off easy thanks. It's actually pretty intuitive as I use chrome mostly on my PC.
Holy crap. barely got to the finger jesters and yall saved me from returning my chromebook lol. ive used windows all my life but android phones. this is my first chrome book and WOW highly satisfied i have the acer 532
Thats great! Acer is a good brand. That should last you a while
Thank you very much!
I am a senior faced with getting a replacement Chromebook.
FInding the AUE info for a replacement Chromebook is not easy.
And your Power Wash info is very useful!
Oh this helps so much. My hp fried on me last weekend and ever since ive been trying to find a decent, budget friendly laptop. I use it daily so I need to make sure it can handle the work. I think this will be perfect for school and some photography work. At least until I can afford a more expensive machine for digital art! I think this video helped me make a decision finally! Thanks!
Amazing video Robby! I've been watching for a long time and I'm looking at getting a Lenovo Yoga C630 this month and I'm only getting a chromebook because of the info from this channel! Any more tips you have would be great! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for all of your time and research, it was very helpful!
Just found and watched this video..Absolutely a great idea,
I like my Chromebook even more, Thanks
I bought mine and I've loved it so far. You should make a video about the print issues though.
I've been using Chromebooks for 6 years but still enjoyed this video, thanks! Would love to see you do a Slate vs Pixelbook video. Happy new year!
Agreed. I bought the i7 Pixelbook because of this channel (vs the Slate I was waiting for). Would still love a comparison! Wish Pixelbook had a fingerprint sensor like the Slate, otherwise I LOVE the Pixelbook
@@linguistisch the Pixelbook is good, but installing Debian files always gives an error message, and the pen is a disappointment. Annoyingly, these two are what I bought the Pixelbook for😠
wait, i thought it was released last year.
Can you access email accounts other than Gmail on it?
hi; excuse me, i ve a question plz; i ve just bought a chromebook in order to take note as a student, but i don t really understand with which application can i take note offline ? thanks for ur answer
Great presentation & easy to follow! Many thanks! :)
I use my chromebook strictly for writing my book. Keeps me from being distracted by games. It's amazing that my little chromebook only needs to be charged once per day, and it's light and easy to lug around. I'm also not worried about it being stolen or damaged since it was so cheap. Much better than working on my $2000 laptop

Just ordered my Chromebook 3 today. Excited about getting it with a little apprehensive at the same time.
Love your videos only been a sub for a 1 month but watching all your videos Happy New year from the UK
Great video. I learned several tips that I was not aware of. Thanks! Worth watching!!
Been using Cromebook for years but learned soooo much here!!! Thanks bunches!
You do very good things to show us how this system works
Think you again
I love your videos and look forward to them. I do like my Acer Chromebook 14 for Work (Intel i5, 8G RAM 32GB of storage). It's a great grab and go laptop for general usage especially since I use Gsuite for business. But the Linux experience is non existent. The ability to run Linux was the entire reason I decided to give a Chromebook a try. Had I known features would be hit and miss with some Chromebooks (basically the Pixelbook) getting full support and every announced feature..while others...regardless of how much you spent on them or how great or updated the specs...not getting it at all...I would have spent my $600 on something else.
As a web support specialist moving into network security, being able to run Linux was an important feature for me. And since you can't boot from a USB with a Chromebook ( which would solve every issue for me) my Chromebook is less functional than every other device I own since I really can't use it for work. For me it's still a better deal to just refurb a 14" Thinkpad pad that I can do everything on, and boot any OS at will including Chromium if that's what I need to do.
And that's a shame because this is a great Chromebook that I got for a great price, that I would love to use as my all purpose machine. Not sure who dropped the ball on Linux support but the experience has soured me on both the Chrome OS experience and Acer devices in general because now I don't know what to trust, or is going to be supported past the initial product launch where they promise you the world, and then just ignore an entire product line with no explanation once they have your money. And when Acer is coming out with a new Chromebook every month, it's a good bet that they are going to abandon more than a few of them past the 1st year.
me too. 1st Acer 15 sill struggling no real hard drive = ???

Very useful, usable information, easy to follow, a great help when coming from a different device . Thanks
This was really useful. Now I know how to connect to my TV, how to find shortcuts, how to use two and three fingers on pad and most importantly the delete button being alt backspace! Really useful, thanks.
How to connect to your TV? Did I miss this here?
I really enjoyed this video I just bought a Chromebook delivered yesterday.
Hello, I'm a first-time user of Chromebooks. I found the video helpful and informative. Thank you
What up
Fix It up
Great video. I'm new to Chromebook so this really helped. Blown away by the three finger swipe between tabs!
Nice job of covering tips for newbies. Thanks ;)
Probably my favourite trackpad gesture is when you hover over a link, 3 finger click opens it in a new tab. I browse like that a lot as I don’t like to lose where I was so that was a neat feature when I first got a Chromebook. Also, I used to detest trackpads on laptops as previous ones have always been unpredictable and not responsive or would highlight random stuff unintentionally- the one on my Asus is so good I don’t even think about using a mouse anymore, even if I’m using it on a desk; that used to be the first thing I’d do.
I bought a Hisense Chromebook years ago and I absolutely love it! I would definitely buy another one.
Looking to make the switch soon. Love your videos, any chance of an updated version of this or is this all still applicable?
this video was soooo helpful tysm
Thank you ! New to this and can use these kind of helpful hints!
Wow.. Great communication skills! I am now super excited to try out my new chrome book!
Starting my chrome journey... this video was very informative
Helpful video. I will be getting my Chromebook in a few days (14" Lenovo S340).
Thankfully the trackpad actions mentioned here are similar to those in Windows 10, even the three-finger gestures. Initially, I thought "powerwash" was just an colloquial term used in place of "factory reset". After watching some more of these Chromebook tutorials, I found out that it was literally right there in the Settings screen: "Powerwash" :D
Very informative. My son asked me for a Chromebook for home use since that is what he is used to using at school. I came here looking for more information on what I was getting him.
Can they play minecraft?
Thank you for the tips I found it very interesting and helpful..
Really good video. I'm very savvy with tech generally, and especially Windows, so it was good to see this video as i'm brand new to Chromebooks, and happy to learn new things. Good job!
Such a helpful video. New to Chromebook. Tricky to start with but now I'm falling in love. Great tips thank you :)
Excellent video. One keyboard shortcut I use is Print Screen: Ctrl + Overview. Additional, you can continue the tutorial series: one for photos from import to basic editing with Google Photos and another for creating vector graphics. Thank you.
Thanks. That'll be useful
Watched a lot of trainings (I do IT support in a public school) you really did a great job. Your whole presentation and visual appearance was spot on. Thank you.
I have a lot to say about IT workers at High Schools. But I'm in a good mood today so I just want to wish you best of luck and to stay safe :)
Compliments to the entire team, the talent, writers camera, editors
I've been a Windows user since the 3.1 days but just purchased a Chromebook to road test and I gotta say I'm thoroughly
impressed. Feel like I've been missing out some. I went for one of the Chromebook Plus models. Figured the bigger RAM and storage was a better choice. Chrome OS is very smooth and so far been an awesome experience. Gestures and hotkeys are a learning curve but i'll get there. Thanks for the tips on the video. Will check out some others.
Awesome video bro! I've used Chrome for a while and never new about the 3 finger gestures
just got mine yesterday and i love it already
I just got the HP Chromebook 14 x360 on sale yesterday. Love it!
still loving it? i hate mine
@@YurLord how much was yours
i got mine its so cool
Have you regretted your choices now?
Very informative, easy to follow. Thanks a million
Great informative video. Much appreciated. I have learned a great deal and saved in favourites for future reference.
Thank you, wow, this was so helpful!!! Glad I'm subscribed to your awesome channel! My first Chromebook is arriving in a couple days, can't wait!
There is something so calm about this video, the way he explains everything is just made me fall in love with my Chromebook even more.

Thank you so much for this video! I grew up with an Atari and then PCs. I bought my first ChromeBook last year and wish I had this video then! So much useful information. I will definitely refer back when I'm in need :)
I just found ChromeOS with the cloudready software. I'm testing that on my 12 years old Thinkpad T60P. It's amazing how fast it's running. I really plan to buy the Asus C3202CA in a near futur.
I’ve been using chromebooks for along time and a few of these tips I didn’t know and will be really helpful!
Great tips! I never heard of power wash...you do a great job explaining!
thanks!!! you’ve just made my chromebook experience alot easier! thumbs up 2 you 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I've paired my Logitech S120 speakers with my Acer Chromebook C720. It's absolutely awesome. I love my chromebook.

I have a dell one I’d like to try an acer one sometime
I love my Acer Chromebook 10 the stylus isn't as uncomfortable as others are making it out to be. It's easy to put a cushion on the pen too. Stylus is so easy to use. Bluetooth doesn't work as well as I hoped. Love that the pen comes inside the tablet. I'm able to take notes so easy. Easy to switch between landscape and portrait mode no hassle whatsoever. I would recommend getting a stand.
I wish I knew about you when I got my chrome book. I learned so much. Thank you
I love this. I just got my chromebook.. it is very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing this
I have been thinking about getting a chromebook as a secondary device to replace an old android tablet. But I have been worried about the limitations of ChromeOS. It just hit me though... Outside of playing games, 90+% of what I do on my laptop in on google chrome. Don't know why I didn't realize this sooner lol.
Omg thank you!! It's way less scary now!
I was trying to make this harder than it needed to be. Great video for learning to use my new Chromebook. Thanks
I am a looooooong time user of computers but I must admit it sounded like u were speaking a different language to me. LOL. Maybe my brain couldn't comprehend because if felt like you were talking too fast or the example screens were going away too quickly. I'm a senior citizen now so I appreciate this and I am going to watch it a few more times, write down unfamiliar words or acronyms and look them up. Thank you for your help. Hey, maybe you might want to do a 2nd video with older newbies or seniors a bit more in mind. I truly want to understand. I just found out on a different video how to turn on my Caps lock... had never used the button with the magnifing symbol on it. hahaha. I love the lighter weight of my Chromebook though because I travel between the U.S. and various European countries so it is a real blessing.. I really appreciate your help
Well done and presented instruction and tips. Q: Should the Chromebook be powered off at end of each day? And why or why not? There's very little solid advice online about this.
Thanks for the video, I just unboxed last night and am glad that I treated myself to a Chromebook already,
still glad? I'm guessing no
I am so glad i found this video, my hair is no longer falling out from the stress of trying to understand my Chrome laptop. I recommend they put you on the start up of every Chrome laptop made, and pay you cause you sure the heck earned it.
Amazing tips please make part 2 for 2020 Chromebook tips !!
Great advice. I learned some stuff (especially CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+?). I've had a Chromebook for a couple of months, and being familiar with many operating systems as an IT professional (Windows 3.1 - 10, Mac OSX "Snow Leopard" and on, Linux--with GNOME, KDE, XFCD, and other desktops--a few BSD's, and some more exotic stuff), the transition was not difficult. Having said that, there is always something new to learn. I think one important thing to realize is that ChromeOS is basically Android (made for a phone) on a laptop. I do with that I had the Function Keys though. For example, I can't do ALT+F4 to close stuff.
Chromebook Work with Windows?
I have a question, if I get an iPhone , and close that google account/gmail , another words wipe my android phone to trade it in, will eveything disappear of of my chromebook, because I would still want to use that same google/gmail on the chromebook, and have my new iphone without the gmail, ? I know sounds odd but I want to swith to an iphone 13 whole leeping my chromebook the way I hsve it, or should I just add that acount to the iphone? My normal email is NOT gmail, it is aol, which is on my chromebook plus the google account.???? I wouldn't close the google account on my chromebook just the galaxy phone/ android would have to be wiped to trade it in , worried that I would lose my stuff, imprtant things on my chromebook, is that true? Or do I have nothing to worry about
Maaan the no "right click" thing took some getting used to. Still gets me sometimes...
thank you for your video,it was very informitive
This was immensely helpful since I just got a Chromebook Duet 5 and am getting used to it, thank you!
Great video. Like others have said, I did not know about the 3 finger stuff even though I have used chrome books pretty much from the beginning. I also had not stopped to think about it but you are right, I have never had a CB with a bad trackpad, which is more than I can say for Windows.
I have tremors in my hands and I can’t use the track pad. I have to attach a mouse to my computer.
You make great videos, kudos!
Very well put. Extremely easy to follow. I'm not new to laptops/ chromebooks etc. but I even learned something new from this video. Thank you for your time.
Just wondering had you any computer experience before purchasing the Chromebook?
The reason why I ask.. I'm thinking of getting a Chromebook but I've got no computer experience whatsoever! I am pretty handy with my Android smartphone, I'm just wondering if I'm going down the right route. 🤔
Thank you for sharing this information. I've had my Chromebook for a few years, and had to learn on my own a few tips:) But, it's really great to have found your site and information today. Again, thank you!!
