    Why can’t our schools use these types of chrome books? Eh anyways I’m fine on my personal m1 Mac but anytime I touch my school-provided Chromebook, it scares me.

    • Zach Carmichael

      Budgets. I worked in K-12 as a tech person and you are just restricted financially; it’s like they think tech is an afterthought.

    • Bryan Miller

      March 1, 2021 at 7:02 pm

      Cuz $699 per laptop for 100s or even 1000s of students is too much for school budgets

    Good lookin’ rig, but I just cannot vibe with anything Celeron.

    Why would anyone buy chrome book over iPads. I mean the productivity on a basic iPad plus pencil is much more than any chrome book

    • Qimat Swift

      March 1, 2021 at 7:36 pm

      And you can get one with an A12 for $200 less than this.

    • Joe Munayer - OUBeats

    March 1, 2021 at 7:35 pm

    What is the storage for? What can you store on a chrome book?

    • Faiz Palwala

      March 1, 2021 at 8:21 pm

      You can do android apps on Chromebooks now

    • misfortune architect

      March 1, 2021 at 8:54 pm

      you can store files locally on a chromebook, also you can run linux apps like steam, although i don’t think i’ve seen anyone release a chrome os device capable of running cs:go, maybe with tiger lake chips that is possible.

    • ben s

      March 1, 2021 at 10:21 pm

    Processors are supposed to be better than the prior model not worse.

  17. Lanchester Naanyane

    March 1, 2021 at 8:29 pm

    For that money, rather buy a normal windows laptop.????

  20. chelsea7xhf

    March 1, 2021 at 10:20 pm

    So, you pay$500 for a screen+keyboard+DEX? Why just buy a Galaxy phone + nice screen + keyboard

  21. Minetendo 0000

    March 1, 2021 at 10:21 pm

    i got a windows laptop for 400 euros that has 256 gigs of storage and 8 gigs of ram. if you look at the Chromebook though… yeah lets not talk about it.

  22. Doug Nulton

    March 1, 2021 at 11:16 pm

  26. Hello World

    I have one of those I think mines white and not exactly the same one I think mines a window 10 or somefink

  27. Gary Caron

    March 2, 2021 at 8:06 am

    I purchased the previous model. Yup, battery life is a pain, but I use it at home as my main daily driver and cannot believe the screen quality. Pricey a year ago but coming down to match the higher-end Chromebook 2 2021 so that is a plus. For those who love windows machines, well they will always point out a Samsung Flex is a better machine and, if you settle for windows, it would be, Nice review,

  28. Jiří Jankovec

    March 2, 2021 at 8:39 am

    This first look is a mess as you still go from the new one to the old one and back. One single table with parameter differences would be more helpful.

  29. Vizer

    March 2, 2021 at 9:11 am

    Please don’t buy a chrome book

  30. Danny Foglesong

    March 2, 2021 at 9:15 am

    Watching this video on my Galaxy Chromebook 2. I love it.

  31. Jo King

    March 2, 2021 at 10:50 am

    No thanks. Needs access to the internet to use MS office. No good when travelling. By a windows laptop.

  32. H and M Johnson

    March 2, 2021 at 10:52 am

    I still can’t bring myself to pay over $500 for a celeron laptop.

  33. Martin Tigermaan

    March 2, 2021 at 11:05 am

    Sorry but biometric logs to Facebook ect will be everywhere soon, so it’s not a good move to jettison this function

  34. D.IN.C

    March 2, 2021 at 11:13 am

    Only 4GB of RAM !? – I’ve immediately stopped watching this presentation.

  35. Eshaan

    March 2, 2021 at 1:34 pm

    You’d be better off buying galaxy tab s7 that has got a lot more value than a laptop with 4 gb ram and 64 gb storage nd a celeron processor! Dont make the mistake of buying this laptop. Or you could get an ipad air 4 that can last you at least 5 yrs.

  36. Eshaan

    March 2, 2021 at 1:38 pm

    Rather get a macbook air for 799 dollars on student discount with 128 gb ssd…..i mean what would u do with 12 hour battery on a celeron chip.????

    • Eshaan

      March 2, 2021 at 1:38 pm

      M1 i mean

  37. FatedScythe777 XB1

  40. JUR O

    March 2, 2021 at 8:27 pm

    Wow that review is so dope with the beat, makes you wanna smoke weed, what you don’t know, you ain’t a G , but a tech reviewer doing the knock knock, till you’re hands bleed! Who is there is not the need, so please come in! Bring that laptop G(goldman)

  41. Genaro & Claudia Roldan

    March 2, 2021 at 9:02 pm

    Nah

  42. Amelia Scalzo

    March 3, 2021 at 4:00 am

    It’s in interesting colour

  43. ??????

    March 3, 2021 at 6:53 am

    I remember getting a Samsung Chromebook back in 2013

  44. TuckerMan

    March 3, 2021 at 11:55 am

    $700 for an i3 and no FPS or S Pen, Nope ????????. I’d go with a Windows machine before getting this.

    Sent from my S21 Ultra.

    Oh yeah, all the excuse making on the part of the “reviewer” really lends credence to this coming off as a paid advertisement.

  45. ColtsFan4Life 35

    March 3, 2021 at 12:27 pm

    Too much money for what it offers.

  46. Susmit Das

    March 3, 2021 at 4:05 pm

    Just get yourself an M1 macbook air. Or LG gram

  47. SecretOfMonkeyIsland

    March 3, 2021 at 6:23 pm

    Looks good, just too expensive for that spec and considering its running Chrome OS which isnt ideal for everyone to use.
