I switched to Chromebooks six years ago, never looked back. I came from the Mac. I love the simplicity and elegance of Chrome OS.

[@TheCosmicRealm3]

Im tellin'' ya, chromebooks are taking over the game. With a high-end chromebook like the samsung chromebook Fiesta Red, or the acer chromebook spin 714, HP Dragonfly pro, etc. You'll get everything you need done and then some.

[@johndavey7151]

As a 27 year user of Linux the ability to run Linux on the ChromeBook is an absolute deal maker for me. Any missing applications or incompatibilities are solved (at least for me) by using a Linux program. It is so cool to see the Linux apps just added to the ChromeOS GUI.

[@Blaze-700]

Haven't watched the video yet but already know it will be a banger

[@DavisFangTech]

🥰🥰🥰

[@DennisFang1]

Chromebooks have come so far from when I used them!

[@DavisFangTech]

That was quite a while ago dennis! 😂

[@tonycollazorappo]

Wow, another reason for me to go Chromebook/Chromebox, now we can connect to their online work suite offline! Awesome, and the fact that I don't ever game on any of my computers is even better. I'm really liking Chromebooks/boxes. I'm even getting use to the photo simple editing because that all I do, simple photo touch ups. =)

[@Max86421]

🤔 I don't know why some people buy a laptop for over $1,000 when they only do all their work online

[@DavisFangTech]

The web browsing experience on my MacBook is so much nicer than this Chromebook

[@Max86421]

@DavisFangTech I'm not buying a $2,000 laptop just to surf the web like some people do. That's waste of money... 💯

[@daytonaukpc9387]

Get a MacBook m1 for under £800.00. Refurbished for even less.

[@Max86421]

@daytonaukpc9387 Be careful of Adware, malware, spyware and fishing on your MacBook Lol

[@Chertograad]

@@DavisFangTech Funnily enough I have a Macbook Air M1 (2020) and i can barely see any difference when browsing the web and comparing it to my Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook Plus that costed a fraction of the cost (333€ vs 1100€). And I work in IT so it's not that I wouldn't notice. I do. Both are snappy.

[@kieronchick1663]

You can add any video codex and use desktop apps by enabling Linux.

[@bigpeteyork2162]

Great video would you recommend this model or a different model these days ...... and what smart ring do you have as I might be interested in getting one to monitor my sleep thanks

[@DavisFangTech]

Thank you! I made a quick update video with this Asus a few months ago and I still think that it is great especially with some of the deals that are available right now. And I am wearing the Ultra human Ring Air. I've had it over a year now and I still think that it's great. I do have a discount code DAVIS10 as well I believe

[@bigpeteyork2162]

@DavisFangTech wow just Google them was not expecting that cost £300 in the UK will just stick with the advice on the chromebook thanks

[@stevenmilnetvuk]

I can't believe the price!! I'm impressed

[@DavisFangTech]

It’s so good!

[@tonycollazorappo]

I'm a senior and this is so much better for me! Can I attach an external drive and work on documents on it and safe it back on to the drive? I don't use the cloud, that's why I'm asking.

[@DavisFangTech]

Yes, I believe that you can work on documents from an external drive, but I would recommend a windows or Mac based laptop if you don’t want to work on the cloud

[@manny7886]

Yes you can. Just make sure that you saved your docs to your external drive.

[@phoqueme]

Windows 11 is a disaster, im still holding on to my Win10 until it stops next year with the support. Linux will become the future without a doubt, and chromebooks are the most Linux beginner-friendly devices it seems

[@fitnesschefen]

just bought this, its awesome

[@t181]

One of the most annoying videos I've ever seen. The constant changing of the viewing angle is really annoying. People don't want to see you and your constant hand movements, they want to see the Chromebook, closer and in more detail. OMG.

[@t181]

After 11 minutes I gave up. I have never seen something presented with such a twisted body! All this from the side, horrible. The Apple Watch is more in focus than the device itself. I don't know who recorded the video but it's horrible.

[@TheLaly37]

Thanks for this video, I am watching it from my current Chromebook. And I know all the limitation and frustrations you are talking about first hand, I wanted to know if there were an upgrade I could have that would allow me to stay in the Chrome OS environment. This Chromebook was a secondery laptop (I had a pretty powerful work laptop with Microsoft suite) and did the job of browsing (badly) and watching videos on KZbin. Thanks to your advice, I will look away. I really need a basic laptop (Like a Chromebook) that can run the microsoft suite as I would like to start my job search, what would you recommend? I do not do gaming of video editing. It would have been nice to know if the Chromebook is compatible with AI, chat GPT and all that...

[@TheShyArmyTV]

you can use gemini in the web browser on Chromebooks

[@killerknight2oI9]

Would this good for college use

[@petiteeau]

How do i activate backlit keyboard?

[@galaxyzoom3]

What phone is that

[@DavisFangTech]

8849 Tank 3!

[@ale86a]

Is there a version with illuminated and touch keys of this model? in Italy it is not found ..

[@DavisFangTech]

The specifications do differ slightly across different markets

[@venieonni]

Could you tell me that chromebook has 2 cameras or not?

[@DavisFangTech]

Not this one!

[@venieonni]

@@DavisFangTech okay, thanks

[@marksanderson1707]

No, but adding an external webcam is easy if you need a second camera.

[@EliasRupp]

Does it have a fan??

[@DavisFangTech]

yep!

[@keacoq]

I have a CB plus. Acer CB514-3ht. It's good. Great for daily use mainly on line. Great to run android apps for mapping and navigation. And linux apps can be used without great difficulty. I have been using Chromebooks for about 5 years. CB plus brings price down to similar to windows machnes of similar hardware. Great choice if you do not need windows-only apps.

[@DavisFangTech]

glad that you like your Chromebook!

[@GeorgeViras-o8p]

I have a c202s Asus Chromebook.it's awesome I'm just covering it out as soon as I m able to hook up the Wi-Fi it's fast responsive lenux,,I tried to add RAM .no go but it's fine cheap and has all necessary

[@NathanKeeley]

Chromebooks also support Linux apps

[@DavisFangTech]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ddddaaddaaaa]

it's almost at the price of a midrange Samsung phone here in my region. and the battery life is insane!

[@DavisFangTech]

Definitely a bargain then!

[@Artcentral01]

Could you play Roblox on it?

[@perleth8936]

You can

[@Max86421]

Hot! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jub8891]

short answer: no long answer: still no

[@daytonaukpc9387]

Just buy a MacBook m1

[@TheShyArmyTV]

nah . chromebooks are better than MacBooks.

[@smoocher]

Love the accent!

[@DavisFangTech]

Thank you!
