Acer Store at United State already avaiable chromebook at i5 / i7 with Intel 12 gen.
-come wth 8GB or 16GB Ram
- SSD somemore.
- not avaiable in Malaysia



-Chrome OS as a tablet .
-Use Snapdragon chip.
- only 64GB or 128GB Emcc
- harga murah giler.

if price like a normal laptop for what we choose chrome os

nowday all laptop with the same spec come and price with win11

mahal gila, intel 12th gen with chrome OS? i rather pick windows OS

chromebooks rm150 can la, nowadays tiktok got sell alot, rm150 to 200 can get ledi, noob OS dont need intel 12th gen to run la

People study engineering that uses Autocad tak lepas. So this thing is mainly for people that uses the regular word, excel and web based apps.

Kek so ChromeOS worth the same as Windows 11

Laptop companies memang scammers

The father of Chromebook

All the reviewer trying to justify the cost on behalf of Google

i am awaiting Snapdragon + Chrome OS + SSD + Tablet
later window can bye bye.
mana boleh tahan carry 1.2kg laptop hari hari.

Get macbook air and all problems and hassle solved
No need to worry for the next ten years
Even after ten years….the old macbook also easy to replaced by new macbook

Aren't you afraid ChromeOS after some time will lag hard like Android ?

Depends on what you really want to do with it. If Snapdragon, cannot run Linux apps.

But you will not get cross compatibility between Windows as easily as Chrome OS compared to Mac OS.

What????
Impossible

Any example?

Using Acer Chromebook Spin 714 (i5 gen12 with 8GB RAM)

Very premium feel, and I guess it has its advantages in term of getting a touch screen, stylus, flexible screen - and ChromeOS itself is very easy to use (and instantaneous update and start-up time compare to the clunky Windows 11)

I guess the only thing I miss is MS Excel desktop version as it still works terrible on Web edition

Lol okay lol

Simple. An NTFS formatted partition external HDD can be read between Chrome OS and Windows but not Mac OS that requires ExFat.

LOL, never...

Because it really has nothing else and literally is a thin client, it can last longer than your Windows based laptop

surface is better

Not true yea. MacOS can read FAT and EXFAT and NTFS

my laptop 544gram ..

I actually love my premium chromebook. You get better screen, less constraint by processor and RAM, better speaker, built quality etc..

It's not just about hardware/specs but other perks as well

Again, this doesn’t make it not compatible

Using a tablet may be more advantageous than a Chromebook

What is your premium chromebook?

question can it run window base program ?

This didn’t make ChromeOS better compatible to windows > macOS

to each their own, depending how much is it you're invested into the Windows ecosystem.

If you need native desktop apps badly, then I guess it's a better choice.

How much you bought it?

Using Acer Spin 714

https://www.acer.com/sg-en/chromebooks/acer...n-714-cp714-1wn

No service center here in Malaysia

SGD1090 after all the discounts in LZD (bought Nov last year)

I got one, the Lenovo N11. Slow like molasses and useless without an Internet connection.

nowdays sudah boleh example like Microsoft Edge not support Chromebook
but with Linux apps it can be install

Wow! Expensive wey.

no leh... web-based program only.
Can run linux and Android apps but it's not very optimized.. I rather use web

Btw, don’t support google lah….google is a company that not worthy for us.

You pay to their service but they still access to your data

im using chromeOS on regular thin 2-1 laptop.
with shitty spec, it perform good enough compare to windows 10.

haha yeah and very difficult to sell in second hand market. I feel it's good to use as a secondary device (one that you can bring around, the convertible touch screen with stylus also quite handy), but not your daily driver to do the heavy lifting

Why you buy cheomebook btw? LoL

Get macbook…
Solved all problems in long run

but with GMail, Google Photos and Drive... it's hard not to get rid of them without sacrificing convenience, isn't it?

How to get their repair or service if your chromebook rosak?

battery life super good!

nope. already sell hackintosh laptop.
macOS not for me as im not editing photos, video, web etc.

Acer service center

Very bad choice….no GPU and no NPU

Okay. If they do let you. I don’t think there is Acer service center in MY will accept the chromebook for repair and service

What you do?
Havkintosh laptop? It means you use black apple lah?

Errrrrr….this is not something new for apple users

But you didn’t get the performance

you can't have it all bro... depends on what's priority to you.

Guess even with MacBook there's no awesome GPU that allows you to play the latest games in steam.

Chromebook is not worth. Save your money and get macbook

Acer Malaysia support International warranty bang.

Obviously you didn’t know macbook can get both balance performance and battery life…

Gaming? Your chromebook can do steam gaming?

that laptop only for experiment macOS Ventura.
after installing many apps, did not use it at all.
so i let it go.

Okay. If that’s the case.

Hackintosh is a shit….get a proper macbook air will do

I can do cloud gaming in any shitty laptop.

Anyway, I have dedicated gaming PC which is Windows based.

as i said, nope. macOS is not for me.

for my usage, im looking into android tablet.
moving on from chromeOS to proper android tablet.

Gmail, google photo and drive can be replaced by apple native service.

Instead, google access all your data regardless you are googleone subscriber…

Samsung Tab S9 is a good one!

You didn’t use the real products before doesnit not suit you….

Unless you telling me you are accountant

yes. waiting for Tab S9+

You are contradicting yourself

boleh bang. spec laptop dia boleh gaming pakai Geforce Now.
acer ada chromebook khas utk gaming by Geforce Now

No... I'm not

I'm simply saying that what you prefer might not be what other people prefer. I'm not tied to any single ecosystem and simply getting the devices that suit my need

use the real MBP last time (during OSX year).

im not accountant.
its just that i dont have a need for macOS (read as apple eco), thus any macbook.

chromeOS can install xbox app.
i stream my xbox to chromeOS, not bad using home wifi.

Manufacturers making the same mistake as netbooks again.

This should be targeted at the low cost segment. Once you reach laptop level prices, what's the point?

You’re not providing the real solutions to the real needs…you just here to confused people and give people wrong hope and wrong expectations

How much is this? Can get this in MY?

hmm. if for ur use case, isnt linux better for u? linux is still more complete OS than chromeOS

just get normal laptop lar
remember last time got netbook, yea it failed

They just want to create hype…as normal business do

They don’t really want to solve people problems

i have to agree with this.
they should focus on low to mid spec, not high end.

given the price point, you can get a "proper" laptop, why bother with chromeos.
chromebook main point last time is cheap laptop with reasonable operating system.

just ignore that idiot apple sheep, he always argue with ppl here about apple ecosystem, i also kena last time lol

On this point. I've to agree with you (although if you read carefully Google access some of your data, not all)

But not enough for me to switch the entire ecosystem choice.

He is doing hard selling here

chromeOS is a linux (gentoo base) itself.
also support debian base linux VM build into it.
got playstore for android support too.

Sorry... not sure what solutions I need to provide here, what are the real needs and who am I confusing?

I'm only speaking from my experience and use case. Which may not be the same as yours. Hope I didn't mislead anyone into buying a Chromebook!

Do you know google company direction and decision still on larry page a lone?

He have the share A that nobody can touch his decision….he decision vote is 85%

Nope.

I already have laptops from Intel 1st to 8th gen of various models. All were upgraded to a max of 16GB RAM and 500GB SSD.

In total, I have 15 laptops. All are restored to perfect health and used daily or weekly. Each ran W10 or W7. Data is all synced to the cloud so each laptop will have the same data. Media kept on 2TB external NVME.

All 15 laptops are still cheaper than a MacBook M2 Air 15 inch with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.

As a result, I never need to carry a charger or power bank whenever out for work as each laptop can use up to 5 hours. Older models max also 2-3 hours.

how u use all 15 laptops?

nobody ask you to switch your google ecosystem to apple ecosystem....uncle just want to tell ppl that no need to waste time & money on google ecosystem...

good if you didn't....

don;t be like Huawei....when they lost GMS....their salesperson still cheat uncle/auntie to buy their huawei phone....and say the GMS can be installed....

be clear to what it target to

MY still not official avaiable. but negara Jiran have

install chromeOS on it (4th gen above).

this is a sign of stupidity....

if you are working on serious project or serious business....you will want to avoid this kind of practise at above quoted....

waste money, electronic pollutions, and no real benefits

you don't use Youtube or Google search engine? Guess you don't even use Chrome for browser and stick to Safari?

only for cloud gaming....

uncle didn't use FB/IG/whatsapp

and yes....no youtube/Google search/Chrome

Google always abandon their projects... always make headlines only.

i use MS mail, outlook, one drive for rm 200 peryear, i think is ok ....
only think i dont use MS is edge, edge seem like not that fine tunes compare with chrome, even both is same root.

Google is the father of big data......FB is just kacang putih compare to Google....

Slowly you will see more and more monetized from google....

they called it fish, pancing, and market....

Good for you! My data is not as important as yours

For uncle business....yes....Micrsoft Outlook, OneDrive, Sharepoints etc....Uncle recently start use Edge because it has change a lot

Every day, I carry 2 laptops when going out. That's 10 laptops per work week of mostly 12 to 14 inches. The remaining 5 will be mostly Precision and Latitude models over 15 inches and are mostly for outstation use due to workstation capabilities.

it is not about important....it is about mindset my friend....

many things has been slowly 合理化 now...

just becareful my friend

for some ppl, quantity vs quality, as long as ego boost is ok.
