It is pretty easy to get lost in all this Chrome OS news on a daily basis and forget the large number of users who may be sitting in front of a Chromebook for the very first time today. After a few years of researching, reviewing and writing about Chromebooks, it becomes very tempting to just assume everyone knows what they are getting into when a new Chromebook arrives.
But, as we all know, that simply isn't the case. So, if you are a Chromebook ninja or a regular reader of Chrome Unboxed, this post and video may not exactly be down your lane. Sure, there may be something in here you haven't encountered, but the chances are slim that any of this will be news to you. However, there's a really good chance that someone you know is new to the Chromebook scene. For those folks and for anyone else new to Chrome OS, this video is for you.
We want to spend a few minutes highlighting some of the more important things you need to know as you take your new Chrome OS device out of the box. Absorbing this amount of content would be a lot if you're just reading it, so we put together a video with all the tips in an easy-to-watch, easy-to-consume form.
Getting started with a new device and a new operating system can be a lot, so hopefully, this helps make the process less stressful for you or someone you know. Without further ado, here are 10 things you need to know if you are new to Chromebooks!

  • I thank you very much for this video. I bought my first Chromebook a year ago, and struggled. This short video just doubled my knowledge, especially the tip on the 'gestures' functions, and how to use my fingers. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge, I'm now better for having seen this.

  • I use my chromebook strictly for writing my book. Keeps me from being distracted by games. It's amazing that my little chromebook only needs to be charged once per day, and it's light and easy to lug around. I'm also not worried about it being stolen or damaged since it was so cheap. Much better than working on my $2000 laptop

I'll get a link to where I can buy a new chromebook. Some sites say my version is no longer supported. But there are many sites it work just fine. I really love the thing. The email, google drive, photos and docs is what I use the most. I did order a new one recently and look forward to getting it and see what's new.

I was a little nervous at first to get Chrome OS because I was worried I wouldn't be able to do all the things I'm doing in school and for my story writing but I've had it for 2 days now and absolutely satisfied. I just found your channel through searching for tips and tricks for the Chromebook & immediately subscribed!

  • I love your videos and look forward to them. I do like my Acer Chromebook 14 for Work (Intel i5, 8G RAM 32GB of storage). It's a great grab and go laptop for general usage especially since I use Gsuite for business. But the Linux experience is non existent. The ability to run Linux was the entire reason I decided to give a Chromebook a try. Had I known features would be hit and miss with some Chromebooks (basically the Pixelbook) getting full support and every announced feature..while others...regardless of how much you spent on them or how great or updated the specs...not getting it at all...I would have spent my $600 on something else. As a web support specialist moving into network security, being able to run Linux was an important feature for me. And since you can't boot from a USB with a Chromebook ( which would solve every issue for me) my Chromebook is less functional than every other device I own since I really can't use it for work. For me it's still a better deal to just refurb a 14" Thinkpad pad that I can do everything on, and boot any OS at will including Chromium if that's what I need to do. And that's a shame because this is a great Chromebook that I got for a great price, that I would love to use as my all purpose machine. Not sure who dropped the ball on Linux support but the experience has soured me on both the Chrome OS experience and Acer devices in general because now I don't know what to trust, or is going to be supported past the initial product launch where they promise you the world, and then just ignore an entire product line with no explanation once they have your money. And when Acer is coming out with a new Chromebook every month, it's a good bet that they are going to abandon more than a few of them past the 1st year.

  • Probably my favourite trackpad gesture is when you hover over a link, 3 finger click opens it in a new tab. I browse like that a lot as I don’t like to lose where I was so that was a neat feature when I first got a Chromebook. Also, I used to detest trackpads on laptops as previous ones have always been unpredictable and not responsive or would highlight random stuff unintentionally- the one on my Asus is so good I don’t even think about using a mouse anymore, even if I’m using it on a desk; that used to be the first thing I’d do.

Initially, I thought "powerwash" was just an colloquial term used in place of "factory reset". After watching some more of these Chromebook tutorials, I found out that it was literally right there in the Settings screen: "Powerwash" :D

  • I have used a Chromebook for nearly two years. Since I have had one, I only rarely use a Windows machine. Chromeboook runs cool and silent, long battery life, fast startup, updates, shutdown. Runs an external screen when needed. Rugged. Does everything browser based just fine. But also android apps. Most andoid apps run just fine unless they get confused by the large screen. My navigation and mapping apps run on this as well as on my android tablets/phones. Thanks for the video, much familiar but things to learn. All that and it was cheap. Very pleased that I bought one while away from my PC on a long trip.

  • Instructions in box said 1.Plug in 2. Push power button & follow instructions. I thought there had to be more to do to transfer everything from my old Chromebook to the new one. I just did a transfer from my old Pixel phone to my new one and there were so many detailed instructions, backups, settings & updates etc. to check and have in place before transfer it took forever. Thank you for explaining how it works---and why it really is simple!

  • Great advice. I learned some stuff (especially CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+?). I've had a Chromebook for a couple of months, and being familiar with many operating systems as an IT professional (Windows 3.1 - 10, Mac OSX "Snow Leopard" and on, Linux--with GNOME, KDE, XFCD, and other desktops--a few BSD's, and some more exotic stuff), the transition was not difficult. Having said that, there is always something new to learn. I think one important thing to realize is that ChromeOS is basically Android (made for a phone) on a laptop. I do with that I had the Function Keys though. For example, I can't do ALT+F4 to close stuff.

I know sounds odd but I want to swith to an iphone 13 whole leeping my chromebook the way I hsve it, or should I just add that acount to the iphone? My normal email is NOT gmail, it is aol, which is on my chromebook plus the google account.???? I wouldn't close the google account on my chromebook just the galaxy phone/ android would have to be wiped to trade it in , worried that I would lose my stuff, imprtant things on my chromebook, is that true?

I mainly got it because I wanted to after a lifetime write a poetry book of my poems from 1975 til now, bucket list. I am tryingvto figure out the perks that came with it, like are any free or all trials. It ads comming with 100 cloud but mine says 15, I have an external hard drive, still learning. I know sure some may be thinking dang she been living under a rock 😂 Its all good why there are people who genuinely love helping so I welcome anyone that would help guide me on this, And I do love the Asus I wanted the 14 inch screen and the lighted keyboard, not good for daytime it took a min for me to figure out how to turn it off an on, again simple I made it harded than need be. Appreciate anyone who read this to the end, I do love to write. ✌🏻

    • I think it’s just a big change for many people who are used to windows and Mac. I used chrome for work so was already a bit familiar with it, plus I hate windows and had been looking for a way to ditch it for ages! My chromebook is so much quieter and isn’t slowed down by random crap running in the background. It also doesn’t get as hot as a result and has a much better battery life.

Bluetooth doesn't work as well as I hoped. Love that the pen comes inside the tablet. I'm able to take notes so easy. Easy to switch between landscape and portrait mode no hassle whatsoever. I would recommend getting a stand.

Maybe my brain couldn't comprehend because if felt like you were talking too fast or the example screens were going away too quickly. I'm a senior citizen now so I appreciate this and I am going to watch it a few more times, write down unfamiliar words or acronyms and look them up. Thank you for your help. Hey, maybe you might want to do a 2nd video with older newbies or seniors a bit more in mind. I truly want to understand. I just found out on a different video how to turn on my Caps lock... had never used the button with the magnifing symbol on it. hahaha.
