@kosmostoto Hmm. I saw this five years ago when I installed Ubuntu on my computer. The Chromium project is also based on the Linux kernel and shares code back and forth with Ubuntu. So, has the epicness started? It has only just begun.
In future (actually it is happening now, the word 'future' sounds futuristic.) Special business software (for example, engineering software, AutoCAD) installed in CLOUD. We use our laptop or desktop devices to 'view' and 'control' remotely. We don't necessary to use the traditional OS on our devices in order to use special software.
Chromebook is my #1 choice for using web. Lighter. Start/close faster. Virus worry free. 'Save' button worry free. Do you remember the embarrassment of holding an open laptop while you were leaving Starbucks and catching a bus because the traditional OS was updating system at closing? Plus, I don't need to fight for a seat next to outlet in coffee shop now.
@xEle360x Well if the Internet goes down, I would be worried with my the chrome, but runaway from the alien invasion. I guess u meant if the connection to the Internet goes down.
BdArmyman981 google has online web apps called google docs, which you can make presentations, spreadsheets, and documents. These are just as powerful as Microsoft office.
More productive? I think having access to programs like Microsoft word would make them more productive, I do 90% of "work" offline unless I need to Email something!
@Jakobguldager70 Yes, i use this to take notes in all my college classes. On top of that Google Docs allows multiple people to edit the same document at once allowing me and fellow classmates to compile and write notes more efficiently. Just make sure your classes are within range of the schools WiFi, i have that problem in one of my classes. And remember this NOT meant to be used as a main computer. many users upset with the product are using it as a replacement. it is not mean to be.
wish google would develop an OnLive service and sync it with chrome. then in 5 years it may be possible to stream Crysis 2 at the same quality you can play it on a gaming laptop now.
@naruto0123456780 isp cannot look through files because the do not store them, also google is changing their policy. and they have been caught spying on users. go to googlemonopoly.eu
Underlying truth is, any website security can be breached. Chrome only gives false sense of security... I would rather have my data on my computer, where I can physically touch it, rather than trusting someone else to "look after it" for me.
Can someone answer this: If Google Chrome has a Sandboxed OS that Blocks Malware and viruses from getting to them, then why is Verified Boot Needed? You can't corrupt an OS without viruses, spywayre or malware if I'm not mistaken. So does this mean that Google's spokesperson for this video contradicted himself regarding viruses etc?
@YouWillLoseToMe I think misunderstood what they were saying. Your data is saved in their server, which is sandboxed. The verification is to make sure YOUR notebook does not contain any viruses. Because if it did and you had access to their sever, you might infect the entire system. So the verification is necessary.
u must read this.once u have started there is no turning back.a little
10 year old girl was raped and murdered in 1945.her body was not found until 1947.then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message.the dead girl appeard in his room haunting him and killed him.if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos in 30 minutes the dead girl will appear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you.well better start to copy and paste
@eragon3196 yeah but you're not going to be downloading anything on this, since everything is based on the web. 100 mb is perfect for going on youtube, facebook and just generally surfing the web.
@Avengers91 atleast not in the different companies but google will need more of them. But Seriously everything that vid says to me is:"Give us all your Data, let us know whatever you are doing and store everything on our harddrives. Just forget about your data, and soon enough its all ours. And of course if you forget about your data even quicker, we are able to sell it earlier to third party companies, to make even more money."
"Suddenly storm rolls in and internet goes down, chromebook becomes brick." In this day and age, what good is a computer without the internet? Your desktop would be as good as a brick without the internet no doubt.
Wow! This is so convenient! Now I don't have to worry about becoming a botnet and giving away my personal information to people I don't know, it's as easy as starting up my Chrome Book!
@Avengers91 Partially, but generally in business, business's have an amount they are willing to pay for labor, and what things like this do is make those laborers more productive making more money for the business. They will probably keep the same amount of Admin's and IT guys, but utilize them differently, but even if they do drop some of those positions most companies would invest labor into another department that has a higher return. IE higher productivity is generally always good
AutoCAD? Sibelius? Finale? Adobe CS Suite? Corel Suite? 3D-StudioMax? Math-Lab? Maple? Video Editing Programs? Audio Editing Programs? what about all those programs? Does chromebook offer any alternative?
@xerhyo - Well if they did, the data for running the program (using the current model) - which for something like Adobe CS5.5 is around 10GB - would need to be downloaded every time you want to use them.
Chrome OS is great, if all you want to do is use Google Docs and Gmail. I mean, a really great operating system for them things, but don't wait around for a ChromeBook to do Adobe CS or Corel Suite tasks any time soon. - in fact laptops are useless at them things anyway. :P
@xerhyo LOL with the money you would spend on all those software you can buy a supercomputer. And what the f*ck is Math-Lab? You don't even know what is it for, you just heard about it and are talking about it because you want to look like an smart guy. Well, you did exactly the opposite. Maybe you are talking about Matlab: Matrix Laboratory, one of the most expensive and biggest software. You would never use more than 1% of its capabilities, is like buying an airplane to deliver pizzas.
Everypne leaving their data to Google will make Google a very good target for hackers. Very profitable. And no matter how good security, Google will get hacked, when they have enough interesting customers. They have been hacked before, and having all the data in one place makes it even more tempting to hack.
Google as a company has to act under the US laws, meaning, law enforcement (or other) have access to my data.
This is my problem with ChromeOS, please explain how Google will solve this.

If you're considering Chromebooks but need access to Windows apps, check out Ericom AccessNow, an HTML5 RDP client that enables Chromebook users to connect to any RDP host, including Terminal Server, physical desktops or VDI virtual desktops – and run their applications and desktops in a browser.

I can somehow see this being the future. Microsoft or Apple will need to invest a lot of money into this because it has amazing potential. For those who are saying no ability to develop...learn html, php, javascript etc etc. You can build apps/develop on the web!
Well.. With any laptop users are free to work where ever they are. Whereas with this you can not use it somewhere without internet. I don't know about America, but the only free public wifi is McDonalds, Everywhere else it's "BTOpenZone" Where it's like £5 an hour. And it's not everywhere.
And then if you argue, well you can then use 3G, again over hear 3G is only around in cities and large towns. I sit here now, the fastest mobile internet is GPRS.
@Randomshows124 I know that sound effect from Starcraft 1 and I've heard it many many times (when you click on a number of Terran buildings as well as other misc sound effects during the game. It was probably some obscure free ware sound effect Blizzard threw into the game back in the day and now it's just everywhere. The initial warp in sound for Protoss structures and loading up a bunker are used a lot as well. It's almost as common as that famous movie scream, if you have the ear for it. :)
@Eragon86micky Chromebooks come with 100MB of 3G data from Verizon a month for free. However, if you are a major data user, you might want to subscribe to a 3G data plan
This would be a great OS for my grandmother, all she does is Facebook and play Cityville plus she's tired of Mc Afee's nagging subscription renewal updates/alerts n__n
I don't really like what Apple did to Sony mini disc. This reminds me of how Bill Gates was working with Steve Jobs an pulled a fast one on him. Now Google is pulling a fast one on both of them. I hope Google does a better job then both of them.
Is the pricing for academia per user or per device? This makes a significant difference, if its per device than that is very cheap and something I'd be interested in looking at. If its per user than it will actually be more expensive for us.
In many cases public PC labs, etc may have 20+ different users per day. I think our IT function would pay for 1000 chromebook desktops but not for 20,000+ user licences.
@PeedrooAndrees Your information is stored at the datacenter that hosts the web service you use for instance if you use gmail, your data is stored on google's servers. No need to worry though, dtacenters are locked up almost as tight as Fort Knox both physically and digitally.
@santi961 Google has stated with emerging technologies such as HTML5,WebGL, and native clinet, there is a potability that we could see large name games such as World of Warcraft and Halo delivered through the web browser.
@perrtimo supply and demand, once enough people get internet-based computers like the chromebook, many of them will want better webapps like a photoshop equivalent, and some company or nerd in his basement will make it
I would buy one if the google company change all of their computers and laptops to Chromebook and making their software or products using it. Until then, i'm gonna stick with my PC.
@TheDougtechcrew But most games produced now are graphic intensive, which means there must be suitable hardware support, which for a notebook focused on internet access, that will most likely not be a priority. Plus even if games are ported over to run on Chrome OS, does it mean that without internet access, we cannot play the games we bought?
I think Chromebook is really innovative. can't wait to get my hands on one
What if... the servers are down? o_o It's there 1st laptop anyway... we can't be sure if the servers wouldn't be down after millions of user starting to use it? It's a really good idea.. but... well =x
@DanseDeLaVie every product is intended towards a certain audience. Look what businesses and schools can get by using this solution. I believe it is a great concept (although yet to be proved). Simple, Cheaper, Faster. Google has also released the Chrome AppStore, meaning more great applications to come. If I wanna play Call of Duty, or do some video editing, i certainly wouldn't get this.
@Archartugan Simply put, this is not for you then. Eventually those sorts of things you " "?'d will be usable on the internet. There are already things like that online. Also, if your internet is down then you switch to your main computer. This type of computer is for the common INTERNET USER. Most people aren't doing 3D models are engineering calculations. They mainly use the internet to check the news, weather, YouTube videos, social networks, and entertainment.
But what if a hacker break into "the web" and gets all your data?

I don't really like what Apple did to Sony mini disc. This reminds me of how Bill Gates was working with Steve Jobs an pulled a fast one on him. Now Google is pulling a fast one on both of them. I hope Google does a better job then both of them.

Is the pricing for academia per user or per device? This makes a significant difference, if its per device than that is very cheap and something I'd be interested in looking at. If its per user than it will actually be more expensive for us.
In many cases public PC labs, etc may have 20+ different users per day. I think our IT function would pay for 1000 chromebook desktops but not for 20,000+ user licences.

wouldnt they store all your information?

@PeedrooAndrees Your information is stored at the datacenter that hosts the web service you use for instance if you use gmail, your data is stored on google's servers. No need to worry though, dtacenters are locked up almost as tight as Fort Knox both physically and digitally.

So I cannot work on my Photoshop project with this Chromebook?
(Unless Google upgrades its Picasa up to or exceed Photoshop level.)

@perrtimo supply and demand, once enough people get internet-based computers like the chromebook, many of them will want better webapps like a photoshop equivalent, and some company or nerd in his basement will make it

I would buy one if the google company change all of their computers and laptops to Chromebook and making their software or products using it. Until then, i'm gonna stick with my PC.

@TheDougtechcrew But most games produced now are graphic intensive, which means there must be suitable hardware support, which for a notebook focused on internet access, that will most likely not be a priority. Plus even if games are ported over to run on Chrome OS, does it mean that without internet access, we cannot play the games we bought?
I think Chromebook is really innovative. can't wait to get my hands on one
Mianzz 9 months ago
I would buy one if it's under $200 and can be used without an internet connection when one is not avaliable.

I would use Chromebook for many things, but for business purpose?? No way! VDI has been existed for years, and it is much more robust than this toy.

Zakbagans21 9 months ago
What I don't understand is that...
What would this mean for scientists who need to study complex amino acids and protein structures, write out organic hydrocarbon chains, etc.?
What about the stock analyst or the economics student who needs to do data analysis with regressions and other data analysis?
Or what about the nerdy gamer who needs to play World of Warcraft or Starcraft?
The graphic designer, architect, urban planner, music composer, etc.?

KST0190 9 months ago
@DanseDeLaVie every product is intended towards a certain audience. Look what businesses and schools can get by using this solution. I believe it is a great concept (although yet to be proved). Simple, Cheaper, Faster. Google has also released the Chrome AppStore, meaning more great applications to come. If I wanna play Call of Duty, or do some video editing, i certainly wouldn't get this.

This is for work?
3d modeling?
Engineer calculations?
I don't think so.
Oh internet is down... and what now? Punch my internet provider and wait? Yeah great solution.
Archartugan 9 months ago
@Archartugan
1. The majority of people don't do 3d modeling or engineering calculations so obviously you are not their target demographic.
2. When the internet is down you punch your Internet provider and wait anyway.
Most people don't use their computers without the internet.
hastyscorpion1 9 months ago
@Archartugan Simply put, this is not for you then. Eventually those sorts of things you " "?'d will be usable on the internet. There are already things like that online. Also, if your internet is down then you switch to your main computer. This type of computer is for the common INTERNET USER. Most people aren't doing 3D models are engineering calculations. They mainly use the internet to check the news, weather, YouTube videos, social networks, and entertainment.
Buy things you use.
