This Plus and Premium classification was pretty niche and not user-facing in any significant manner. Premium Chromebooks offer high performance for multitasking and advanced workloads. Plus Chromebooks offer fast performance, smooth video calls and plenty of storage. In the past, the device directory hosted by Google would designate “Plus Chromebooks” and “Premium Chromebooks.” They were officially distinguished as such: To put it another way, if you want to get the most out of what ChromeOS can offer, you currently need to know just enough tech jargon to know a premium or mid-range consumer Chromebook from a cheap, student-oriented one.īut what if there was a way to easily know that you’d get an excellent experience from your next Chromebook without needing to learn the ins and outs of processors and specs? In the case of gaming, ChromeOS only allows Steam to be installed on a select few of the latest mid-range and high-end Chromebooks. Of course, most of that requires better than baseline hardware to run smoothly. You can also run full (Linux) desktop programs on a Chromebook, including audio workstations like Audacity, developer tools like Android Studio, and even some of your favorite Steam games. Through the Android app support, Chromebooks now have access to powerful productivity apps and video editing suites like LumaFusion. Over the past five or so years, Chromebooks have grown to become capable of so much more. When does a Chromebook become more than “just a Chromebook?” That’s the question that Google has set out to answer with its upcoming “Chromebook X” program for high-quality laptops and tablets.įor many people considering which Chromebook they should buy, the answer could honestly be “almost any of them.” ChromeOS devices consistently provide a solid baseline for the most basic needs for a computer – a fully-featured web browser, file management, and access to office productivity apps.
