Basically everything works except Phone App Casting and Continue On (because it's not an official, registered Googlebook). I'm pissed it doesn't run balatro

Discussion Chrome Unboxed: Fanboys?

22 Upvotes

Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate them and they're probably the biggest and best site for Chromebooks Googlebooks (I read them almost daily). But somehow it feels everything Google does is amazing, marvelous, and has lots of unicorns, glitter and rainbows to them ✨🦄✨🌈✨🧚✨

I love how much they inform about Google products but personally I'd like some criticism as well sometimes, as at the end criticism is also good if it's realistic and constructive ✍ Not sure if it's just me or anyone else feels the same.

Buying Advice Finally time to replace my Pixelbook…

1 Upvotes

I’ve had the Google Pixelbook since 2017 and have absolutely loved it! Unfortunately it’s finally starting to get a little glitchy, and I know next year it will no longer get updates. I need recommendations for another Chromebook that has a similar look/feel as well as excellent performance. I use it for personal and work tasks, mostly work. A typical day includes a video call, then mostly using about 3-5 tabs at a time with a mixture of Gmail, Google keep, Google Sheets, and my medical EMR website. My main priorities are smooth, efficient processing when multiple tabs are open and when a video call is going. I don’t care at all about touch screen capabilities. I love the feel of my Chromebook with its slim design, metal casing, and keyboard. Before it, I had a MacBook Pro. I also love that it is fan-less. Any recommendations for a good Pixelbook replacement? I seldom use AI so I’m not sold on the new Googlebook. Budget is anything under $1k but would like to stay closer to the $600 range.
