Chromebox vs Chromebook—Which Chrome OS to choose?

Why would I want to give up all of the functionality of my Logitech keyboard and Logitech mouse by going to Chrome OS?.
Chrome OS is still for children and not for adult men

I don't like working on laptops, small keyboard and small screen.

Can any of the new chromeboxes support a 4K monitor at 120hz or better? CTL, a company in Portland, Oregon USA, is coming out with the Cx3-7 next month. I know it'll have a Core i7 13 gen processor and DP 1.4 so it should have no trouble running 4K at 60hz, but the spex on that processor are ambiguous, or at least I don't know how to interpret them.

Can a Chrome Box smoothly play 4k Video files?

I was looking at a Chromebox to use as a media device for my TV.... What are your thoughts on that application

I love seeing people who have made the jump to Chrome OS. Despite many objections from my IT professional friends who warned that I would lose a lot of function by moving from Windows to Chrome OS, I made the switch in 2017 and have never looked back. I have never regretted it either.

My old college machine I needed for virtualization has had chrome OS flex installed. Because it’s so overpowered for chrome os it runs the Linux apps I need no problem.

Can the Asus chromebox be powered by a single USB-C cable and also display to a monitor through that same single cable if it is plugged into a docking station or a monitor with high enough power delivery?

chrome os is just linux but bad it has no apps and buying a used windows laptop/pc and installing linux is actually worth your money instead of being a scam

Great video. I've dumped Microsoft a year after they dumped my Windows XP. I'm using an Asus Chromebox 4 Intel Core i7 10th gen, 16 Gb RAM, 256 Gb drive. Fantastic machine! Will never, ever, go back to Windows!

👍

Too expensive when compared to a Chromebook. It would be interesting to see how well Flex would work on an older desktop.

What video editing software do you use?

Hi, I just switched to Chrome OS just know. I was looking for a powerful Android tablet and found the Lenovo Ideapad duett 5 and I love it. As I saved a lot of money I also ordered a HP Chrombase. Now I am transferring all my data into the Chrome OS infrastructure.

Interesting. I can't find any Chromebox's with even close hardware than mid level Chromebooks like Acer Spin 713, 714, or any other CB with 12th gen intel i3 yet alone higher. what Chromebox are you referring to that are more powerful than these?

Chrome sucks because it won't let you use Firefox, everything is enthralled to Google, Inc. and WHO exactly looks at my material ?

You should probably credit the Chrome Unboxed channel, since you're stealing their video

August 14, 2022 - Thanks to this video's host. From his presentation, it is obvious that he is accustomed to being accurate, concise, and pleasant. I use Chromebooks and Windows 10 Pro desktop PCs. I find that Microsoft is becoming extremely authoritarian and intrusive with their Windows operating systems. Also, I am not happy that Google is treating Chromebooks like cellphones and has allotted "end of life" dates for supporting them. There are of course options for converting "sun settled" older Chromebooks, but I don't like those options. At this point, I think that a Chromebox could be in my future, once my present Chromebook is no longer supported by Google or Samsung. Thank you again to itGenius for a very informative and helpful video. Cheers from Connecticut, U.S.A. 👍👍😊

Hey! I'm using ChromeOS since the 2011 Samsung Series 5 :) I've never bought Appl€ and I ditched M$ 8 years ago for Linux. But one year ago, I bought an Acer CXI4 10th gen i5 Chromebox. And indeed, what a relief in the updates field from any other OS. On the down side, it's the only ChromeOS machine that I saw having "BSD" (system freeze) or OS update fails ; but very few. About your video, I would add that Chromeboxes (like powerful Chromebooks) aren't only for Cloud work, thanks to Android and Linux apps. Eg: I use a simple Android file explorer to backup and retrieve files on my NAS because it is more comprehensive and fast than the ChromeOS file explorer. 2nd Eg: I use Thunderbird, GIMP or Filezilla over Linux and I still have my email history since 1999. Also, I like very much the ease to share any ChromeOS machine with several accounts. But what I like the most about this OS is that everything is always saved (except in Linux apps), one can suffer a power crash, or a simple life interruption ; when one turns the Chrome back on, all is there, ready for you to work, play or whatever. As I've been using computers since the early 80s, I can tell what a big mental shift it is to be able to trust a computer like that. Plus the last interface makeup is awesome! Cheers

I've been looking for ages about how to use a DSLR as a webcam on my Chromebook/box. Please can you let me know how you set yours up??? 🙏🙏

ChromeOs Flex is really major break through for reviving old notebooks but problem is it is still in Developing phase. lets hope for best

Your forgetting about Chrome OS Flex
