![]() ![]() So out with the phone, try to tether, oops bad signal, move, find a better signal try not to interrupt the discussion etc etc.Īs i said, not technically difficult, but if an issue comes up i potentially want instant access to all my files, even when i am (quite frequently) off-line. Example: i go on-site and discussing with colleagues an issue comes up and i think i need to check or integrate that with a file i was working on - hang on, but i didn't make that doc available off-line, so i need to retrieve it. It's not TECHNICALLY difficult - in fact i deliberately used the word awkward. If this is their defining feature, they need to make it count. They created the primary search engine for the web. If you're going to market your search function, add something. ![]() They can both search for files, apps, and answers on the web. Google still needs to add that defining feature. It's their newest strategy, and it's straight up the exact same as Windows. If you're gonna market the same features, show how CHROMEBOOKS do it better. Show us how easy it is to find an app with the navigable menu. Show games with Stadia on a Chromebook vs native running on Windows. Give us a live example of the same malware on a PC vs a Chromebook. My biggest problem with their current campaign is that they never SHOW you how their features work. Showcase how anything can run Chrome OS, and how the cheaper Chromebooks aren't slower because of their price tag, unlike PCs. Have you seen the clutter of the Start menu? It's filled with ads, and organization is a nightmare. Chromebook? It's a night and day difference. Have any of you tried Google Docs on Windows Chrome vs. But if you're going to do that, show the unique parts of chromebook, the appealing parts! They're just trying to appeal to a larger audience, and I get that. Ok, Google: What audience are you trying to make Chromebooks appeal to? The Netflix watchers, with an offline feature that everything already has? The on-the-go people, with all-day battery and fast startups, both with huge asteriks? The gamers by attempting to use Stadia, failing, and settling for a simulated image? I could go on and on and on, but it seems like even Google doesn't know what to do. But then they started popping up EVERYWHERE. At the time, I was a dedicated Chromebook user, but even I knew that you could do that on pretty much everything. The first one I got was the "Watch Netflix Offline" one. You would think that Google would focus on milking their cash cow to the limit, but their recent advertising says otherwise. Schools choose them because most of them are less expensive than PCs and more capable than iPads, which were the 2 top choices for education. I've seen schools order upwards of 45,000 chromebooks at a time. Of course, there are a lot of people who use them for other reasons, but these are main, solid audiences. In my experience, Chromebooks appeal to a very specific audience: Schools/Workplaces that need to mass-order computers, people who do a lot of their work in Google Suite or in a browser, and people that need a budget computer. This is not a rant about hating Chromebooks, just Google's marketing. List of Chrome OS Boards Supporting Crostini (Linux Beta)ĭisclaimer: I LIKE Chromebooks.
