Chromebooks for Coding - Are they worth it?!

[@noobtopro2108]

the thing about chromeos is that they have kinda unique ui and looks are very minimalistic and clean which I like the most

[@asianguyimagicrenation]

Same here

[@shammmsss]

I have a chromebook and i think it only looks nice in the newer designs

[@freestudymusic550]

Chrome os flex

[@Chris-b4w8t]

Same I never want to go back to windows

[@tubeuser-th]

I think so.

[@facepalmmute3619]

I have the C330 chromebook from 2019 that I was under the impression you couldn't code on it. Got a macbook to learn how to code. Whipped out the old (and I do mean old) chromebook and managed to get vs code on it! Really glad you made this video to a potential future coder on a budget

[@Zendrael]

As a professional gamedev I use a Chromebox or Chromebook 95% of the time, with web apps, going to the Mac only for emulator or build stuff if not doing it remotely.

[@AdrianTwarog]

Oh nice!

[@zenova9926]

What kind of online IDE are u using?? codesandbox??

[@Zendrael]

@@zenova9926 VScode web version

Hi I want to buy a laptop but I do not have a big budget. I use visual studios to code but I've always wanted a sleek laptop for Coding something not too big...do you recommend anything. I am a student so I don't need a permanent laptop pls help

[@bobdinitto]

I have a fairly low end chromebook that I use mostly for surfing the web but I've also done some work in VSCode building a web application and I found that I could do most things on the chromebook. The only issue was doing keyboard navigation I had to use the PC because the chromebook I have has a small, funky key layout.

[@SimonHoiberg]

Loved the intro! 🔥 Awesome video as always.

[@olanrewajuadagba955]

I appreciate your videos and would like to express gratitude to you for sharing them. If possible, could you consider creating a video tutorial specifically focused on VScode? Thank you so much in advance for your attention to this request.

[@CodexCommunity]

Woah this Adrian guy doesn't stop creating content! :>

That's correct Mr. Codex person... hehe

I am currently using my 7 year old Chromebook given to me by my previous teacher to learn python. It's super slow but it works! I can't wait to learn in the future! :D

[@chrisl4211]

This is impossible, I used Chromebook last year I never manage to have my database saved in Chromebook . I just used online version of vs code. How can you do that with a chromebook

[@rabanal_josh64]

Now this is something I was asking past night. Interesting

[@AdrianTwarog]

Great to hear :D

[@SadraHoseinpour]

Hey Adrian I Love your vids But i Noticed You ONLY got 943 Likes man you deserve more

[@maskman4821]

Adrian is not only a developer, but also a designer, this make you standout. Most developers are not good at design, art, etc. 😢

[@AdrianTwarog]

Wait till you see my desk inspiration videos next time!

[@maskman4821]

@@AdrianTwarog cool, I am looking forward to that 🤩

[@BCsJonathanTM]

@2:58 this sounds like it's NOT an ARM processor, but then later at @4:13 the architecture is ARM after all? 🤷‍♂️

[@raffitchakmakjian]

Loved the vid. You also inspired me to code more :D

[@User-sdjowije-92771]

I like the short cut key design(f1 to f5) of chromebook, it allows me to control the laptop very fast

[@freduah4253]

You probably know it already but you can set up your chromebook to switch by itself between wifi and your phone data. If wifi is unavailable and it will switch without you noticing

[@charlesbijuthomas7075]

Make a video on fastest way to learn to code I mean some tips for it

[@volkerking5932]

I bought a Chromebook yesterday and I must wait till tomorrow 😢 too pick it up. I want to learn coding.

[@omarfayad4720]

Great videos 👍, have you tried to develop flutter apps on a Chromebook? In my point of view, I need a Chromebook that can easily handle programming (powerful enough and future proof specs), but should be compact and portable (slim 13" to 14" so I won't carry my laptop everywhere) and to use it instead of my ipad or tablet for web surfing, watching movies on my bed.

[@henriquemiguel95]

Thanks for bringing this powerful laptop, on the last video you used a weak one for your goals. Great video, I'm a big fan of ChromeOS

[@DevMode951]

I hate chromebook! But Linux environment is easy to set up and use so .... I use that for coding but mine is old still works good tho

[@TheGrumpyHarjoG]

gotta love it when you said "ill actually link below , as its quite usefull to get started" and then only proceeds to spam your desc with sponsors and shameless plugs lmao , good video tho

[@cousins_bellic]

I do a lot of work in Delphi RAD Studio, so I cannot work on a machine that does not run Windows, or else I would have to emulate my software. However, nice vid!

[@jan-dawa]

The long answer is no, I have a chromebook and tried several times and everytime at some point the vm fails and doesn't start anymore. So not stable at all. It needs work.

[@gdaaps]

the vm fails? which vm?

[@charlesbijuthomas7075]

Hey, Adrian can you make a video that how will you learn to code if you have to start over

[@kartik-k]

You should try to learn from official documentation before referring to a yt video focus on one language for base than learning other language required to build the application you want. Long coding sessions, not using any AI extension or until you know basics atleast and most important never try to learn 100% of any language

[@PedroHenrique-i5x1i]

I'm running docker on chrome os in my chrome pixelbook.

[@regaming07]

what if the internal storage is only 32GB and uses an Intel Celeron N4020, is it worth it for coding?

[@SimonBauer7]

32gb isnt enough. the celeron isnt great either but for small projects will do.

[@markojojic6223]

I think that this video was called: "I tried programming on a more powerful Chromebook". It doesn't really matter.

[@Areefahmed3553]

Please make a video chrome book graphic designer

[@karrde666666]

seems like all they do is remove the cheapest part, the hard drive

[@rns10]

It's a good device, till you find it's a 600 $ laptop with 8gb and 128gb storage with i3. This looks expensive than a laptop with 8gb and i5/ryzen 5 with 256 to 512 gb storage. At least 256 gb is essential. Although yes it's is cool to have a 16 inch display with touch screen bcz thats the half of budget going, But rest of the specs are not that good. Go for it if touch screen and chrome os are essential for you.

[@programmingholic]

Wow, Adrian.

This is a powerful laptop, mine is a $300 USD laptop 😅

there are ranges for every product these days!

I would not pay that much for chromebook, i got a decent laptop for 100e

[@gileneusz]

Should You Code on a Powerful Chromebook? No you shouldn't, just buy a decent apple device, don't pay for experiments, which may not be supported in a couple of years and have low resell value (if any).

[@ernststravoblofeld]

I don't pay the apple tax.

[@gileneusz]

@@ernststravoblofeld then buy Intel/AMD laptop, they are also good, but it's personal preference

[@BroonParker]

​@@ernststravoblofeldthe Google tax by contrast is paid in the very short support life of your device. They like the idea of disposability of functional hardware. Schools have skips full. And your data, of course.

[@ernststravoblofeld]

@BroonParker I've had phones last years. And I know people who replace iPhones and MacBooks for no reason at all. There's no difference between high end android and pc stuff and the apple equivalent beyond price. And you have far more choice once you step out of the bubble.

[@dot_dot_pwn2650]

Wipe that shit and put linux on it. Chromebook is cool and has its use cases but for programming it needs to be wiped and Linux needs to be installed. Don't run alongside or whatever garbage chromebook allows you, just ditch it entirely. Oh and depending on your chromebook it can be pretty frustrating to wipe the boot and instill a linux distro.

[@danieltrier7116]

Agree

[@Supperconductor]

Not to mention privacy issues. Honestly when Linux fits the developer use case so well, why even consider a ChromeOS?

[@Snail641]

hes a css codemonkey, probably have never used linux before.

[@BroonParker]

Give your data to Google. They'll love it.

[@badriance8407]

Unless you actually learn about the amazing power behind Chrome OS's containerized Linux infrastructure. It's actually pure security genius. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poPPmWuCjZmeh6ssi=4_if_WrhlxJh92j8
