Why Use a Chromebook

Why use a Chromebook? Because they're freakin' awesome!
In a matter of a week I went from not even knowing why Chromebooks exists to absolution loving it!
Chrome OS may seem a bit limiting on the service, but when you dig in to things like Android on Chrome OS and Linux on Chrome OS, you start to really see the power of these devices!

So true, I was so upset when I had bought this Chromebook at first I even tried taking it back but could not return it.

The sweet spot for processors on chromebooks is m3. 64 GB of shortage and 4GB of RAM.

[@Eevnos]

If you're going to be running Linux along with ChromeOS you'll need to get 128GB.. 64 just isn't enough. If you're only using the Chrome OS and Chrome / Android apps and use cloud storage, then I agree with the 64GB.

[@doms6741]

You call it "shortage" for a reason?

[@richdaley9982]

My celeron chromebook runs fine while running basic ChromeOS and Android stuff which is mostly how I use it. It lags a little running some Linux apps. 4GB is an absolute minimum for RAM on any device running Chrome OS or really any device that will be running the Chrome browser. It is a memory hog and will be noticeably laggy with less. Luckily, most Chromebooks have 4GB these days.

[@WinsonYeap]

@@Eevnos Is there a minimum storage requirement to run linux on chromeOS? I was interested in getting a HP Chromebook X2 mainly due to it being detachable with stylus support, but it only has 32GB storage. Would getting a microSD help?

[@newtonfirefly3584]

The Ultra Low power Intel Core i CPU series is certainly far better performance than any Celeron or Pentium certainly within the same Gen. See performance measurement test charts. The 'M' nomenclature has been removed and returns to the nomenclature of 4th Generation, similar to all Core i processors using the letter "Y" compared to "U" for most mobile processors and "H" for the higher end capability mobile processors used commonly for gamming and workstation mobile devices. Thus the 8th Gen Coffee Lake Core i3-8100Y is the equivalent level to the previous M3-5Y,-6Y,-7Y. There are also i5-8xxxY, i7-8xxxY versions. Also there are 10th Gen Comet Lake Core i3,5,7 "Y" versions too. Intel should be releasing their 11th Gen mobile processors later this year, likely in 2nd half 2020 which will include all three Y,U,H versions. Chromebook and other ChromeOS devices seem to have lagged in availability, not offered initially as ChromeOS devices with 10th Gen, only appeared more recently within the last few months [generally since Q2 2020, 6-9 months after initial mobile devices were available]. Also some manufacturers have a M.2 slot internally to add SSD of any size. If You need a more capable computer other more capable processors are available from Intel "U" and can use various mini, desktop processors from Intel and AMD. Am wondering which GPU devices are compatible? Also, if You have an existing computer, You can add multiple booting with one Being ChromeOS. See Chromefy, Project Croissant group for details how to accomplish this. [Which installs on a CUB Linux installation, giving full access to Google Play Store, Android Apps, etc., as seen here, plus the Ubuntu Linux environment.] All The Best and Much Success, Health and Well Being. Sincerely

I have an older Toshiba Chromebook 2, it is a great device that I picked up dirt cheap second hand. It has a full HD display, with 4 gb of ram, but only 16Gb of storage. I just picked up a 128Gb Micro SD card for more storage, and that works great. I used ChromeOS for a bit, but I very quickly dual booted with Linux, and I have been using GalliumOS on it since. I runs great, the battery life is fantastic, and with the new pushes from steam, I can use Proton to play windows games, obviously hardware dependent, and some older Windows games actually run better under proton then they do on Windows 10. And a great thing to mention is that with the Steam Link app, just days after you released this video, Steam added support for game streaming off-network, so now that little under powered Chromebook can stream anywhere, with your network connections being the caveat. Great video, and many great points. Chromebooks are great for a large amount of users, most people just don't know that. And with Linux support, they are even better then they started.

Also do note for $20 you can get a 128GB micro SD card (or for $40 a 256GB one) and then storage will not be an issue, do note if you plan to put your chromebook in dev mode with headphones, as soon as you see that white screen, rip your headphones off ASAP, as otherwise it will blast 2 beeps at full speaker volume directly into your ears.

I was like you saying what's the point of a Chromebook? Well I bought an inexpensive Asus Chromebook with 4 gig of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage for $270, plus I added a 64GB SD card. I've had it just a week and I'm blown away by how easy it is to use how fast it is and the enormous amount of capability in terms of chrome OS Android and Linux. This sleek and slim device handles 95% of what I need to do with a laptop. I've had increasing frustrations with Microsoft and Windows 10 that has basically crippled my i5 laptop with 8GB ram and runs slowly because of all the windows garbage and the ridiculous updates that Microsoft forces on us. And don't forget those disastrous updates over the last year. I'm so glad that we have another portable option I love my Chromebook and I highly recommend it to others!

I’ve used Chromebooks a lot in school and I grew to hate it do to how limited it is compared to my MacBook and even my iPad. I know that Chrome OS at school is even more limited due to school regulations, but even outside of the school servers, I still found Chrome OS limiting. However, after doing research on Chromebooks, I at least respect it now. I still prefer Windows, MacOS, and iOS, but I can understand why people would go for a Chrome OS computer. The low price of the product completely justifies the very simple nature of Chrome OS which makes it a great option for those on a budget, those who only need it for basic office work, or those who are minimalists. After I watching this video, I now consider Chromebooks a viable option for my computer the next time I go out to buy one. Admittedly, it’ll be a while until then because I just got an iPad recently and I enjoy using it for entertainment and work reasons. But maybe 5 or 6 years from now, which is the time frame for me to get a new computer, it’ll be interesting to see how Google’s Chrome OS will compete against the other operating systems from Microsoft and Apple.

I am using a chromebook as my go to device for personal use for two years already and my wife borrows it for her teaching side job. I do have a gaming desktop PC but I don't even have speakers connected, so it's not used for anything but gaming. On the chromebook I browse the web, check my email, watch movies and youtube, do my e-banking, create documents and spreadsheets (in office 365 or google docs) from time to time, light picture editing etc. It fits all my needs for personal computing. I bought it used for 100$ and it is still fast and usable as on day one. I don't worry about viruses and software updates. It just does exactly what I need and it is reliable, has plenty of ports including full size HDMI so my wife also uses it for presentations and lessons. Now, with Google Stadia coming up it will become a serious gaming platform also. The good thing is that in time it has become more productive and useful as it aged, so that is a new concept in the computing space. It is not all to all people, don't get me wrong, but it offers enough for the majority and you should not dismiss it and just go for an Mac or a Windows based PC. The selling point here is that for a 300-500 $ you will have to compromise on other platforms. If you wish to spend a 1000$ on a laptop go with Windows or Apple. The point is that you don't have to, now that we have devices like this...

Never had any issues with only having 32GB of storage. All my data either goes to Google Drive or My NAS.

[@Eevnos]

Excellent!

[@WakeUpAmerican000s]

Animal Facts - I agreed with you that 32Gb is quite enough. Heck, my 3 yr old Chromebook has only 16Gb and I've not had problems with running out of storage on that device. But then I got a Chromebook that supports the Linux/Crostini environment and I'm finding that more than 32Gb local storage is necessary to get very far with Linux, especially if you want to install multiple development environments, or the large LibreOffice, Java etc.

[@AnimalFacts]

I've only got a few Terminal apps install on my machine as far as Linux stuff goes. Now, once they get Linux audio support going, I would like to use Audacity instead of an Android audio recorder, so I may start getting low. But, to be honest, the SSD on my Linux production machine is only 100GB, so I probably won't be too pressed for space as long as I keep data stored off the device. I haven't tested SD card integration yet. Definitely an option if space starts to be a concern.

[@AmigaA-or2hj]

I’m almost tempted to buy a Chromebook after watching this video. During my time, I’ve used windows 98, XP, Vista and 7. Hated 10. Also used Mac OS and Amiga Workbench 1.3, 3.1, 3.5 and lastly Linux.

[@juanzarate9211]

Amiga A1200 don’t it’s terrible can’t do anything with a chrome book

[@pinokio3785]

@@juanzarate9211 why? Iam googling/youtubeing shit 95% of the time. In chrome. And usually on my phone, on the couch. I like the idea of having a flip 2in1 chromebook. My current gaming laptop is too clunky to use on the couch, 3 hours of battery life also yikes. I dont even game anymore, I dont even use special programs on my other pc. Maybe over 99% iam just on some website. These chromebooks nowadays look really functional. App store is a big plus. Really tempted to buy 1.

[@CalebForevaHUN]

Very informative video, thank you!

[@JonLeeSongs]

Thanks so much! Super helpful!

[@disconnectionproductions7069]

Im watching this cause i just got a laptop from my school and its a chromebook wanna see what its like

[@julianmonge6561]

Hey, just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your video. I also own a chromebook and I think that everything you said was very accurate and you gave the average user the idea of what it is to own a chromebook! Nice job.

[@Eevnos]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that and I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

[@julianmonge6561]

Eevnos of course! Is installing Linux with your method harmful? I’m doing it right now and I’m skeptical about it🥴

[@Drmikekuna]

Great video. I would greatly appreciate it if you would do a tutorial on tweaking a Chromebook.

[@Eevnos]

Thanks so much. I appreciate you watching, commenting and suggesting a video topic!

[@VV-wl8gb]

Great review - subbed!

[@Eevnos]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it!

[@NR-nf1il]

Am I able to use HDMI with my Chromebook cuz I have an adapter that plugs into a USB port will it work?

[@Eevnos]

It should work, I have one too and could try it tonight. I know for sure the USB-C adapters work because I use mine all the time.

[@beardedbastardo]

Google Stadia will hopefully expand the gaming capability of Chromebooks and make it a more compelling choice for those of us who like to play more demanding games on our laptops.

[@valorantwithbeniamin]

I have the Acer spin 11 chromebook its a great device

[@SBGv2]

Hey man sorry for not watching nost if your videos and it's nice to see you grow from 20 subs to 7k Live happy😁

[@Eevnos]

It's all good man, I really appreciate you stopping by and commenting!

[@mickavellian]

I LOVED YOUR INTRO ,, No click here, punch there, don't forget, energy humbleness and great info.

[@Eevnos]

mickavellian Thanks so much, I really appreciate the feedback!

[@XXtheJUMPoffXX]

Love my Acer Chromebook 15

[@MrWirelesscaller]

I'd advise getting a chromebook used from reputable sites like amazon, bestbuy, microcenter, etc it literally halves the price. Chromebooks have a reset feature called "power wash" which wiped the device completely (safe to donate, sell, give to another person). I'd advise to get the 4GB ram versions so it runs smoothly. Ideally this is for people who mostly surfs the net, social media, youtube, netflix, and other non-power users. I think it's ideal for children and non-tech people since it doesn't get viruses so they can't fubar it. Compared to the price point of the competitions windows laptops/destops and tablets this is just better imho.

[@TheAngelScorn]

Lot's of info. Great video!

[@Eevnos]

Thanks, I’m glad you found it useful.

[@nc3826]

Great post.... but hope you do more on, "Linux (beta) on your Chromebook".... that doesn't require putting it in Development Mode...

[@janettayoung5435]

I was trying to see what my 7 year old was talking about they use chrome books in her class

[@ireoluwaolaniyan9346]

Is it possible to get a chromebook for programming, specifically using apps like Visual Studio Code and Android Studio?

[@nattaylor1280]

Yes. Programming is actually better on chrome os than windows, because chrome os is linux, which means it can install ide's and use linux libraries.

[@Ivoshevo]

Am also thinking if it is good for programming

[@kayin30]

Great video. Thank you.

[@MuhammadKhaan]
