Thank you. I am a freelance writer here in Virginia, and I just bought a new Acer Chromebook to replace my eight-year-old Lenovo laptop. I am 56, and I didn't even know it was such a different device. I am still getting used to working with it.

Excellent to hear someone talking up Chromebooks! I first came to Chromebook about ten years ago, and I was immediately hooked. It switches on almost instantly. Almost instantly you're connected to the world, with everything ready to use. After years of frustration using awful Windows, and like everyone, having lost data because I forgot to save it - or it just crashed. After years of having to put up with 'Windows is updating. Do not switch off your computer' nonsense, just when I needed to do something urgently on the computer, I was completely free of all this! Chromebook is really fast, really efficient and really inexpensive.

As a senior citizen (an old fart) who has just got a chromebook, I found this video very reassuring that I have done the right thing. My PC now has a new function. All it does now is show pretty videos of birdies and beaches on a big screen, and is mostly only switched on when I have visitors. As for this video, I can't thank you enough for not saying "Hi Guys", "Let's get started", or reminding me to like, subscribe, or request notifications. Those things, I only do if I feel like it. And I did feel like it. Give my regards to your sponsor. And your hairdresser.

I don't often leave comments, but will done to the presenter. Affable and knowledgeable. Somebody sponsor this guy!

Awesome I've owned a Samsung Chromebook plus for almost a year now and it has not slowed down one bit and it improves with each monthly update! Thank you for highlighting the beauty of chromebooks

Definitely clicking on that sponsor. First video I've seen of you, I'm impressed

You changed the visual and kept a strong enough voice to keep me engaged through most of it

One of the better reviews I have seen on KZread in a while. This guys a natural. This channel is going to grow fast, mark my words.

That has to be one of the best explanations on Chromebook's I have ever seen and I have seen most of them I teach I.T. For a living if every one had a Chromebook I would be out of work lol 🇬🇧🤓👨🏻‍💻

Great intro mate. Yes, Chromebooks are indeed ahead of its time and few people realize how much it can simplify your tech life. Other than running certain programs, intense gaming , or serious data management software, I realize the other bulk of computer use is on the browser. And this is where my Chromebook shines in speed, reliability, and user experience. I hate waiting long times for my Windows to update or for it to do other tasks without me knowing in the background which slows my tasks down. Overall, Chromebooks are a great medium between smartphones and Windows.

Chromebooks are just a skinned Linux distro with everything that makes it decent taken right out of it, leaving you with garbage. My $800 linux laptop (well it had Windows but I took that off when I bought the machine) blows ANY Chromebook out of the water because it has decent hardware and way better support than Chromebooks do.

I bought my first Chromebook two years ago. A week ago I passed it to my grand-daughter, because two weeks ago I bought a new Chromebook. I have been a computer hobbyist since 1986, when I started with Spectravideo 32, upgraded to a Commodore 64 in 1991, and an IBM PC about 1993. I currently use an i5 Windows 10 desktop, but on the move, a Chromebook is always my choice because both Chromebooks have been the best devices for hooking up to wi-fi and bluetooth. So, along with my Chromebook I usually take my bluetooth mouse and bluetooth speaker. I also carry a 64gb USB for storage. My current Chromebook is both Android and Linux ready.

The part about programming is actually spot on. Very funny and informative video 👍

I didn’t expect to enjoy this video so much, good job man 😎

Watching on my Chromebook! It has become my primary device as I am a Realtor and need fast boot/shutdown and all the software I need to access is via web based applications I as I don't game and don't know how to video edit yet, it's all I need. I just wish there were more bigger screen and higher resolution models. They are coming but not much choice as yet. HP just announced their first 15 inch Chromebook so the OS is gaining traction. Thanks for the video. Keep them coming.

@Best4rtNiteClips Chromebooks are designed for usability, fast boot-ups, and naturally running Web apps flawlessly. For business owners requiring basic productivity, they're a blessing. More advanced users, like developers, also appreciate them for the Linux support (on newer models, that is). Lastly, they are, in fact, laptops, most being touchscreen-enabled, and many being 360-degree convertibles (with some of these having a built-in stylus, etc). Once they begin shipping with discrete graphics cards and some native applications (likely around the corner), people will be flocking to these machines. As they say, don't knock it until you've tried it.

Please produce a video on selecting a Chromebook for purchase. Please include topics such as: what you WANT vs. what you NEED (your own user requirements), amount of local storage, number and type of USB ports, ethernet port, WiFi range, quality of built-in monitor and speakers and keyboard (for the dwindling number of touch-typists among us), assessing reliability projections (a la Consumer Reports survey feedback), and offline backup of your personal data.

Great video! Gives the viewer a general first view of the great advantages of CBs!

Enjoyed the video very much. I’m a relatively new convert to Chromebook but like you, I’ve become a big fan. With the Linux environment so easy to set up, software development is an option. I currently run Microsoft’s visual code on my Chromebook and I works quite well. There’s also the ability to install and run compilers for c/c++/c# java go etc. So from a software development standpoint it’s pretty solid. I’ll still build on a higher powered machine if I’m doing big projects but I can either remote into work from my Chromebook or I can use either Amazon or Googles cloud machines. This cheap box has been fantastic in that I paid very little for it. If it was lost/stolen/broken, I could replace it without breaking the bank and I could be back up and running in no time at all.

Thank you. My dad just offered to buy me a school computer and we didn’t understand the chrome book thing. Great informative video

Great video! I bought my son a Chromebook and you helped me understand them and all they have to offer, thank you!

One of the biggest issues I had with Chromebooks was that they didn't support external storage for android apps, but that has been resolved with Chrome OS 72. Hopefully linux support improves soon too

I think I have seen others complimenting a video 'index'. Now with this compliment I join the 'group'! Appreciate the info.

Am using my Chromebook now this very minute and have done for a couple or three years now and I love it. Bought it originally as a simple to use access to the internet, which it eminently is, but it is so much more. Having Chrome on my Windows 10 desktop I have maximum productivity but find I use my Chrome book more and more - it picks up so quickly as soon as I open the lid we are away on the great highway.

The best video I saw so far for chrome OS!

I just installed Neverware’s cloudready OS on my 2009 MacBook Air. Except from it occasionally and mysteriously failed to find the built-in wifi network card, it brought it live again, rather than it being smashed or recycled.

eeer great video well put together! Quite refreshing actually!!

wonderful video & ur narration is a1. I hope u become a great youtuber

Although this video came out almost two years ago, it's still relevant today and goes into why I'm using Chrome OS / CloudReady as my main Operating Systems: Simple, easy-to-use and maintain. We've got several ChromeBooks for our Home. There are couple recent developments that weren't around back then: Cloud gaming such as Google Stadia and others. Another one is Parallels for running Windows (only available in Enterprise). I'm glad you also mention CloudReady which I'm currently using for Home and Work and remote into headless Mac and Windows VM's. I've also got some home-grown servers such as miniDLNA and WordPress web servers at Home.

Love your videos-production, content & attitude :) I wondered-do you have any favorites for cheap wifi b&w printers for a chrome book family machine? (Reposted Q)

You have the total potential to be one of the eclectic out there. Keep at it please.

Very very good video. Useful , amusing (in a good way ) my one area of doubt about chromebooks is in video editing - but you've given some pointers on that so- brill. loved it

Good video. Got my Samsung Chromebook 3 in April last year, and I love it. One of the BEST things I've gotten from Walmart. However, not ALL Chromebooks have a touch screen. Mine doesn't, but I don't mind.

Easiest way to explain chromebook's to people who just don't get it is.. "Think of it as a mobile phone with a large screen and a full keyboard." Chromebook hardware is (mostly) comparable with a high end mobile phone.

Love this video! Entertaining and informative - as it should be!

Thank you for this video! I just switched over to Chromebook after many years of being terribly irritated by Windows. My Windows laptop had a virus and had to be repaired recently, and at that time I debated just buying something less expensive instead. The cost of the repair was the same as an inexpensive alternative. I'm kicking myself now for bothering to get it repaired because it died within a couple of months so I'm done! I've got my Chromebook now which I really like... I only use computers for basic internet stuff, and some document work. In that regard I'm not really sure how it's a whole lot different from my larger Samsung tablet if I had a keyboard attached? Anyway, I don't think I'll be going back to Windows anytime soon. I like the Chromebook, it's a lovely little thing that does what I need it to. 😁👍❤️

I went Chrome OS about two years ago. GOOD RIDDANCE WINDOWS. I now spend my time working, not waiting for little spinny wheels, something not responding, slow updates, and things getting slower each month. Anything Chrome doesn't nativley support, I've easily found Android and Linux alternatives.
