as a 14 year old that has been using chromebooks the school gives me for three years the first year i used a samsung one and now we have the cheap plastic dell ones i can comfirm that the samsungs ones are so much better in ever way that is durability compatibility and just all around great schools stop getting the other ones stuck with samsung and also we would so much rather have windows that chrome os 👎

Ok so Chromebook’s are shit, that’s my takeaway from this video.

I worked for a learning management software company, a HUGE portion of the issues we received were from chromebook users. It was very difficult to tell people they essentially "bought the wrong laptop".

Chrome books really became a big thing in 8th grade. They distributed them to every student. It was pretty obnoxious because they were really slow and we couldn’t even open them up for cleaning sake. The big problem was that if a teacher didn’t inform us that we are doing something on the chromebook, it would take like 10 minutes to start anything. And we weren’t allowed to use our actual laptops either so we didn’t even have a choice.

It was the worst when covid started. My school shut down and naturally they expected us to do online work, but we would actively get punished for using our actual PC’s because the chrome books are worthless if you have any other PC.

My college age son has an Acer Chromebook 11, and he's still using it after 7 years.

Still running chrome 91 on our school chromebooks

funny thing is, im watching this on a chromebook

Our school has the most garbage Chromebooks. They're made entirely out of plastic, and the computing power is so bad that sometimes it takes like 5 whole seconds to load a Google search. Also, it's super quiet, and you might think that's a good thing. However, when you are getting a lot lag, you might wonder why you hear no noise at all. IT'S BECAUSE THESE ONES HAVE NO FANS. They probably have to limit the power of the CPU so the cheap bendy plastic doesn't melt.

my pc isnt the best, mid 2010 desktop with 8 gb of ram (they said it would be 10)
and even this thing doesnt run at 100% cpu from fucking youtube with other shit open ontop of that

honestly I would upgrade an old laptop with 8Gbs of ram and a SSD and install chromebook on it

I had to get a think pad chromebook in 2015 and I absolutely hated the damn thing it was as heavy as my 17.5 inch laptop.

This Chromebook is still more powerful than my 2010 4GB RAM laptop, which runs fast enough only on Linux.

my school chose and payed for my chromebook

So, I guess that I'm lucky since all schools in my country use thinkbooks

Few years back bought a Chromebook at a garage sale he just kept coming down on the price without me asking it was like please take this thing I never want to see it again. There were no issues with it but I immediately hated it thinking why do people use these its like a side step from an Apple notebook.. I just bought it to flip on eBay got maybe $100 for it paid $20.

Then they were making us use them at work and I really voiced my opinion on it. Now I work from home and use my custom built Windows desktop. (so thankful)

To be honest it's f**** ass for gaming on Roblox because it's so God damn laggy and it always crashes

So don't ever get a Chromebook if you're going to play with it on Roblox

I like how you give your honest opinion and thoughts on a product and you don't just say oh yes the best thing ever is because they're giving you a paycheck you are a respectful trustworthy and dignified Chrome OS might not be absolute perfection but at least it's better than Windows 10 or windows 8

Bro boutta turn into Linux Tech Tips 💀

shit

what about buy a cheap laptop or an old laptop install a 3th party chromeOS

pov: ur using a hp chromebook to watch this (definitely not me)
