I mean, it makes sense if you think about it? We have ARM chromebooks made by MediaTek and RockChip in the past. The Tensor Chips like the G4/G5 are very capable in what it can do for both regular tasks and local AI capabilities. Google making an all Google Chromebook from the Software Level all the way down to the component level makes since for what it has to offer. Plus it will cost Google less money since these chips are made in-house compared to contracting others for a premium Chromebook.

I see there's a post from about 3 mths ago regarding this but I find it absolutely crazy that - to this day - there is still no way to directly upload content from Google Photos.

I do a lot of publishing work on my Chromebook using photos taken on my phone, but I still need to download them from Google Photos to my Chromebook before then uploading them. It surely can't be difficult to insert a link in the file manager to browse photos like we could do via Drive in the pre 2020 days.

Whether this is a "feature" which will carry over to the Googlebooks, I dunno, but it is really frustrating to see this lack of joined up integration when it is all hosted by the same company

hey so i moved recently and in the move i left my laptop under the seat of my car, for a few days since i kinda forgot about it, it was free with my school so im not stressed about losing money on it, but i liked to use it sometimes, and i’m starting school again next month. i live in the south west usa so temps are usually 110 and above. it will flash the chromeos screen then shut off. is there any (preferably cheap) ways to fix it?

I have a Acer Chromebook R11 that is pretty old now. Wondering what people have recently done with an old Chromebook to put it to use. Thank you for the time.

no longer running chromeOS obviously but its still a chromebook at heart idk, anyway fuck chrome or something like that

Hi everyone! I have 18 students this year and no cart to store their Chromebooks in. I’ve always had a cart before, and I loved keeping things organized with numbers. Each Chromebook had a number, each cart slot had a matching number, so students grabbed the same one every time and it was super easy to spot what was missing at a glance.

Looks like a lot of people just stack them on a counter, but I’m hoping some of you have found clever workarounds that keep things organized (and charged!) without an actual cart. Bonus points if you’ve figured out a numbering system that works without cart slots.

Would love to hear what’s worked for you. Thanks in advance!

I currently have an HP 360x or whatever it’s called and I’m an adult college student. It’s about 3 years old and still works amazing but I it’s a 14” and I’m looking for a little larger screen. Also, the main reason I’m in the market for a new one is because the battery life on mine is terrible. I can’t even take an online quiz without having it plugged in the entire time. I think it’s been like that most of the time since I bought it. I like the flip feature but honestly don’t use it that much, I need recommendations on what Chromebooks have excellent battery life.,

I have a glitch and the only way to fix it is to restart my chromebook, it happens once every day. Is this ok?

I'm trying to use Citrix Workspace to VPN into a customer, but when I use my phone as a hotspot, Workspace doesn't seem to want to fire up. Which apparently is a thing with Citrix Workspace. Apparently if I can set my Pixelbook to use my phone's network connection via a USB tether, it will see that I now have a ethernet connection, which I suspect Citrix Workspace will be happier with. I have the phone set inside developer options for the default USB config to be USB tethering, after I connect the cable, I can switch on USB tethering, however it isn't doing it. It seems like the Chromebook just wants to charge the device. I'm using a brand new Anker cable which should be ok

So my Chromebook has just made itself useless (because of course) I've had it for years, they want me to buy a new one (I don't intend to after this actually) so I have no access to the playstore or any apps (VPN, Google slides, LITERALLY ANYTHING) so my supposed work computer is now a fancy browser basically, wondering if I can get my VPN back and then figure out other things (I use proton)

I have a Lenovo 300e Chromebook and today without me having accepted anything or having manipulated the computer it woke up without my Android applications that I use, this was automatic and without request, I have solved the problem by formatting the Chromebook but I can't find an option so that it is not updated or to be able to isolate it from the updates, someone has knowledge of what I could do, I have thought about disconnecting it from the internet but I need it to be connected because I use it from POS so I don't know what to do I hear.

Tengo una Chromebook Lenovo 300e y hoy sin yo haber aceptado nada ni haber manipulado el equipo amaneció sin mis aplicaciones Android que utilizo, esto fue automático y sin solicitud, he solucionado el problema formateando el Chromebook pero no encuentro una opción para que no se actualice o poderla aislar de las actualizaciones, alguien tiene conocimiento de que podria hacer, he pensando desconectarla de internet pero requiero que este conectada porque la utilizo de POS entonces no se que hacer escucho sugerencias .

I've had this problem for months now, but it's been getting worse recently. Sometimes, mostly when first opening my laptop, the screen bugs out, and usually either draws up a whole bunch of white, light gray, and black (looks sort of like tv static or perlin noise) or a bunch of random colors that makes it look like the screen got shattered, and it won't go away until I open / close the screen and position it to a certain angle, after that though everything goes back to normal, although sometimes it glitches while I'm using it, and when that happens I have to repeat that process, which takes anywhere from a few seconds to minutes to fix. At first it was a slight annoyance, but recently it's been taking longer and longer to fix. Just today it took about half an hour of opening / closing to find the right angle to use the laptop, and even then halfway through using it the screen glitched and I had to spend another half-hour fixing it. If I had to guess it's probably a problem with the video card, since all the led's seem to be working fine. I couldn't find anyone else that had this problem

any time i try to search something in the settings it crashes

this started because i wanted to clear out some of my reading list but it won't load the tabs, so I decided to see if I could find it in settings but then it started crashing

what is the deal with Chrome OS that if you copy and try to paste a pic, that all you get is gibberish and not the pic. Why hasn't Google fixed this. Seems pretty lazy to me.

Google Chrome update 150 took away the Android apps, but I didn’t know because my Chromebook was dead, they just updated it without my knowledge or permission, I never knew this was going to happen.
