Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Stop calling Framebook repairable, its just replaceable.
I've had a Lenovo Duet 5 for more than 2 years and still love it, it looks good and I use for meetings, light work (via office 365 and cloud services) Gamepass and media consumption, is a great tablet/laptop.
Where i could buy it😮
HONK HONK HONK HONK (giggles)
Garbage not spending $250 on new slow govt subsidised tech. Rather buy e waste off ebay with higher compute
Its weird that we saw absolutely nothing from Microsoft to compete with Google or Valve. Sad.
bruh
But the hardware is still shit
These things are so far removed from the altruistic goals of Linux that it seems almost a crime to mention Linux in the same breath.
The os gets feature updates very often too, it's always getting better
Finally you've accepted it 😂
Always been a fan of chromebooks, but the limited OS support has finally turned me off.
So, Steam doesn't work. No real games. Blender and Kdenlive don't really work either. No professional support. a 5-year lifespan. Can't be recycled. e-waste it is.
Linus i have literally NEVER seen a computer lab populated entirely by macs of any kind. Theres maybe 2 or 3 at most, the rest being windows pcs. Some school districts have been replacing them with chromebooks, but its far from all of them. Ive gone to and been to many, many different schools and still have never once seen a computer lab with just macs.
currently watching this on a "chromebook" lol
Honestly these have a place even if you can't daily drive it. Great supplement to portable-ish workstation laptops when you need something that's actually portable and can run for more than an hour on battery.
In the Netherlands Windows and M365 licenses are free for students as long as you buy M365 licenses for staff. Is this different in northern America?
The licenses for schools also have a big discount from what corporate needs to pay.
My "highschool" (called gymnasium in Sweden, school for 16-19yo) back in 2014 got a deal with Apple, so all students got their own brand new mid-2013 MacBook Air. We could just take them home, play games, surf the web, etc. They were not watched by the school with any programs or anything (unless we were connected to the school wifi of course). They just trusted us.
As a PC enthusiast at the time (still am) I really gained respect for Apple after using that MacBook for a while. The trackpad was unlike any other at the time. And the fans on the computer started spinning like once every 15 minutes while working, just to shut off after a minute or so. I will never forget that laptop. It was the best laptop I've ever had, and this is coming from a hardcore gamer and PC building enthusiast.
Obviously most laptops are like that nowadays, but I think Apple really had something special back then. They still have some magic left, but not much. I'm not shelling out 1200 dollars for one of their base laptops nowadays, that's for sure.
My Chromebook Plus is my daily driver for most of browsing needs.
Installed FlexOS on my 2010 Macbook Pro since it was still an intel chip lol. Gave it new life
when i was little, i was using a Vodafone phone running stock Android 5. in 2016, i moved from it to the Galaxy Note 4 with Android 6.0.1 with Touchwiz Nature 4.5.
it was easy to switch as i used that phone before in 2015, back when it was broken,so i was familiar to the ui. now i am so familiar to the Galaxy ui, as much as not been able to use other ui's (ok, maybe stock android still).
I'm the only fool who bought a windows laptop and gave extra money to Microsoft
Schools are always the sweetest plum for computer companies. Back in the 80s in the UK the bosses of Sinclair and Acorn got into a physical fight in a pub due to an argument that started when Acorn got a government contract to put computers in schools that Sinclair wanted.
Hereing the statement, “Google is playing the long game,” while accurate, is also laughable given there usual history.
I bought an i5 pixelbook like a psycho to try it as a daily driver because of linux. It… Worked pretty good. But to this day i still think its one of the nicer touch screen laptops, its so slim (i choose to ignore that fat bezel)! But now that i have a beefy desktop and macbook for work, my wife who's only used a smartphone for 7 years has really latched on to it. She didnt want to get embroiled in relearning windows, and ChromeOS is ridiculously easy to just turn on and use, especially if you already have an android phone. I won't replace it until it literally breaks
I've been using chrome os for years now exclusively. I only bought something else now because the framework 16 is out. Batch 4,here I come! But even on that I'll be using Linux with Chrome os in a VM for browsing… Like generally, there aren't any problems with it, except the play store being active automatically if you enable Android, and Linux and Android being very buggy
Yup, this is gonna be it, make linux an user friendly OS and casual users might start considering it. I'm sure the elitist part of linux community will stay very far away from this as well.
I also fell in love with the Chromebook recently. I bought Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 and it blows my mind. It's more useful than my Galaxy Tab S8 (yes Duet 3 is also an Android tablet), not only because I can consume contents on it, but because it's a full desktop PC, which Samsung Dex can't compete.
I was with you until the ridiculous graph at 00:01:55 when you see that it's not really gaining much at all. Over an entire decade it's slowly crept up to what? Seven percent? That's nothing, compared to the massive hype you're pushing. Don't get me wrong, I'd like these things to take off as well. But they aren't. We can hope that they do start to sell, but a seven percent share over an entire decade isn't exactly promising. If it wasn't for the adoption by the school system, they'd still be dead in the water unfortunately.
My dad ditched windows this week as his main os , he is a developer so now he's now using an app called shadow pc to use those tools on his Chromebook, and after he is done and just want to watch YouTube he close the app and get back to the comfort of chrom os ui XP
This is literally what apple did during early days. Ironically, Mac was one of the cheaper computers back then.
Honestly, if you thinking to get iMac, just don't. Get a Mac Mini + Samsung display. Logitech webcam and maybe Apple keyboard if you into that. And any mouse would be better than Apples, but if you insist on getting one, you could.
As I got older, I expected I'd eventually reach the point where the younger generation would become my tech support and start schooling me on new devices, and they would eat learning this stuff up just like my generation did. NOPE, didn't happen like that at all. The younger generation mostly doesn't care how it works as long as it works, and now it's mostly my generation doing all the tech support for both the younger AND older generation. WHAT WENT WRONG KIDDOS?!
I have a macbook air and I find my self 75% of the time in the Chrome browser. Rest of the time I do photoediting in Lightroom and the gaming happens on a console. If i could do that too on a chormebook i would buy one immediately. Also, cant google just slap ARM CPUs into every chormebook just like Apple did, Microsoft would be in deep shit at that point
I dont know a single person who owns a chromebook
My best laptop is a 2013 Chromebook Pixel. Of course I put a normal Linux on it (Mint), and I use it for … everything.
