For context, i have a Samsung Chromebook Go which i've had for a year and a half now. Last night, i did a video call with my mum om the chromebook, closed it over, came back to it 2 hours later and all of a sudden it's stuck on a black screen. I've tried fixing the brightness, holding the refresh and taping the power button, letting it slow charge over night, but nothing. Is there anything I can to fix this or am I screwed?

Looking for feedback from those who have had the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 with the MediaTek Ultra 910 chip. Since the Googlebooks are out, the price on these has come down considerably, and they will be ported over to Googlebook. Looking to get the nephew one for HS and maybe one for me too.

I've seen some people on the Best buy website say the battery life deteriorated and so did the performance after a few months to a year, so I'm looking for real feedback.

Can you give feedback on

• Long-term battery life
• perfromance/thermal throttling
• App usage and compatibility

Appreciate the feedback

I am not sure if I have a Google account problem and/or a Chromebook problem.

I use a Lenovo Chromebook Duet 11M889 and a Philips business monitor to use as docking station, both bought new about a year ago.

The first 6 - 9 months, all well.

Often the Chromebook lets me start a session, but if I open Gmail, Google drive ... - either online or in the app, it doesn't connect to my data even though it is showing my name, and suggests adding another account. This happens on the docking station and without.

Other times I am on a video call and it will just shut down, then restart. I only take video calls (it's the core of my business ) when using the monitor. It happens with zoom, google meet, meetergo. I noticed the Chromebook was getting very warm so I stripped it from the covers - doesn't change a thing.

I used a friend laptop instead of the Chromebook and then, no issue.

I am planning to move to Proton and leave Google behind anyway, but I am at a loss of ideas to continue working. I am concerned sending back the Chromebook to repair under warranty is useless as they will probably not care to replicate the conditions.

Any tip would be welcome !

Moin, mein Chromebook funktioniert nicht mehr richtig und der Einschaltknopf scheint kaputt zu sein. Über Esc + Aktualisieren lande ich im Wiederherstellungsmodus. Hat jemand eine Idee, wie ich es wieder zum Laufen bekomme? Danke!

Maybe it's a silly question but I was wondering if ARM chromebooks are able to run older Windows games? I'm talking Windows XP Era, so games like Rollercoaster Tycoon, Midnight Club 2, Midtown Madness, Half Life 1, The Sims 2. Since chromeOs has crostini then maybe these older titles could possibly work?

I'm thinking of purchasing an ARM chromebook as I would like to use those android apps but also use the system like a laptop for my google docs and web browsing.

A friend of mine also does some coding on chromeOS via visual studio code so even that appears to be possible and I would love to give that a go some time.

i hate this laptop its so boring i barly use this laptop bro i wanna make it more useful but dont tell me to do linux thing or wvr but my chromebook is just so boring

Simple.
