Hi, if you're looking for a high quality webcam experience with ChromeOS it'll be worth comparing any deal you see on this Chromebook to a 'Chromebook Plus' model. Chromebook Plus are higher spec in general and will include a minimum Full HD webcam along with additional lighting and audio controls on the software side. You can see a range of Chromebook Plus in the channel's playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLNSLoCmFMc8qm1a5XOh5p3JMh4S2qPm6U

One thing I've noticed is what you prioritise when you first boot up. This is less an issue with X86 chips but with Arm if you immediately try to use any android apps on booting up & logging in it can take an age to get going. Workaround, prioritise email and browser focused tasks to start. By the time you're done Chrome OS seems to cope a lot better with running non native code that's android... I'm guessing this may be one of the improvements when Google swaps the core of Chrome OS for android...

@MergeDroid8 күн бұрын
Hi, do you have a physical keyboard with the Tab S10+? I'd see that and/or the full OS as the main benefit of this Lenovo Duet 11", so it's really about productivity with that extra benefit of the tablet interface more for media consumption. If you mainly use your Samsung as a standalone tablet, then Android will still be ahead of ChromeOS tablet mode.

Hi, yup - always here to respond 👍 Your question is really about whether there's a way to install or stream Football Manager in ChromeOS. Sadly in short, I think the answer is no. I've checked the Google Play Store and can't see it available for a Chromebook. There's no Linux version of FM25 on their website either, that would have been another option. Next, you're looking at cloud gaming, FM25 does say there's a version for Steam, but I haven't got any personal experience with that and it's not available on GeForce Now. Sorry. A chance someone else will jump in with something I'm not aware of course, but I don't think it's looking good right now.
