can i upgrade the ram on my acer chromebook 317 the 17.3" model

SImple! Go to chrome://version and copy everything, and paste it here.

Really, all I'm asking for is the borealis version of this part:
features=ArcAdbSideloading,Crostini,CrostiniGpuSupport,OnDeviceSpeechRecognition,Pepper3DImageChromium,SmartDim,UmaStorageDimensions,CrostiniMultiContainer --flag-switches-end

I have an ASUS Chromebook Flip 14 CX3401FBA that is very difficult to turn on. Sometimes pressing the power button will turn it on after 30 seconds, most times nothing happens.

When it does eventually turn on its' fine and battery is full.

Any ideas what may be wrong?

I personally see more pros than cons.

Including measures like using more Android tech stack in ChromeOS and bringing the Linux terminal into Android. Therefore, the full version of Chrome browser with extensions will definitely still be there, and we can use the Android ecosystem more efficiently. The only problem is that the Android launcher is not suitable as a laptop desktop. Google may need to customize a desktop for it, just like it does with ChromeOS now. Overall I think this is a good change, provided Google does it and doesn't give up halfway like Lacros did.

Hi everyone, is the new Galaxy Chromebook Plus available in Canada? Can't find it anywhere...

The reason I am making this post is because within the past 5 months, I have discovered that some chrome extensions are not worth getting. For example, Pokemon Masters. Pokemon Masters apparently doesn't work on chrome anymore. If you have found any chrome extensions that are not worth getting, please feel free to share and tell why it is not worth it, such as the app won't load or the app causes serve lag or pixelation to occur on your device.

Thanks.

Can anyone suggest some Chromebooks that she can use for mostly art and writing? I hope to keep the price around $500 but can double that if needed. I would prefer something that can use a stylus for her art work. Also any recommendations on apps to find or purchase for drawing and writing. I have never used chrome before so something easy to set up would be awesome. Thank you for your help.

Recently got a used Dell Chromebook 3100 2 in 1, I need to change the device language to spanish but it does not give me an option to do it, same thing with the timezone I cant change it. What can I do?

I honestly don't know where else to post this so I'm posting it here. On my chromebook that I've had since 2020, there are small, black, swiggly lines on the left corner of my chromebook. They're not scratches since my screen is still smooth and flat and they're not huge scratches or dents. The chromebook is still working at normal speed and everything is still normal, but I don't know if it will spread or not. It also does not appear to be dead pixels. Does anyone know what this is and if there is a way to fix it? Thank you.

Hey guys,

There is a game on Play Store that I love to play, it is titled GrandChase Dimensional Chaser. Since I got my chromebook some 2 years ago, I can`t play it properly because it warns me that USB debugging is activated and it`s not the case. I`ve tried to contact the developer to fix this issue, but they replied they can`t do anything about that cause ChromeOS is not a supported platform.

Below, follows a screenshot about the issue.

Hi all, recently a family member bought a Chromebook (HP 15a-na0500sa 15.6" Chromebook)

I really think the OS theme looks basic and a bit grainy. Is that just how the OS is or is that dependant on the Chromebook you buy?

Don’t have the Chromebook with me so cant take a screenshot and point out my issues.

I have looked in settings and cant see a way to change theme or anything relating to how crisp the interface looks.

Hi all,

I'm in the market for a new Chromebook (replacing one from 2015) and I've found some good options.

My use case is mostly web-based activities, chiefly recording and editing a Podcast online (currently using Adobe Podcast). Would any of the Chromebook Plus options work for something like that? I'm currently circling the Acer 515 or 514, with a sub $400 budget. If there are other models I should be looking at I'm open to those as well. Thank you in advance!

I recently bought a refurbished HP Chromebook which seems to turn into a industrial fan whenever it's tasked with any job. Is this a fixable issue or something I'll have to deal with/return the laptop?

Thanks

I know it used to, but the recent update appears to have killed the keyboard backlight from auto turning off after a few seconds. The shortcut to manually change the brightness works, but the inactivity automation doesn't work anymore. If someone has run into this, got a suggestion for fixing it? Rebooting hasn't fixed it and Googling basically gives no suggestions for anywhere to check.

I've had more Chromebooks brought to my office today than usual, all of which are HP 11 G9 EE's and all of which are refusing to power on. If it were two or three, I would chalk it up to batteries going out at the same time, but it's been fifteen of the same device type.

Anyone else going through the same issue or something similar?

Thanks!

Like title says I have an older chromebook I bought in 2020 to work from home. I'm just wondering if there is anything to do with it now it doesn't get updates. My goal is actually to scrub the national archives for all video game roms why using my spare tmobile phone as a hot spot so I don't go over my data limit on my home internet.

Hi all,

Hoping there are some UK people who can recommend a decent basic chromebook? It's for a family member who is not very techy but who doesn't like doing internet shopping on her mobile due to small screen size. It wouldn't need to have a huge amount of features because usage would just be checking emails and shopping but it should be something reliable that will last the next 5-6 years, screen size 11-13inch. Thanks!

I been trying to see how I can view my other calendar in the quick settings, since ChromeOS 129 the support for multiple calendars went and I want to know if anyone has managed to get it working on their system.

Hello everyone!

I've been looking around for a while now, but I've had a hard time looking for a new Chromebook that works for me. I'm currently rockin an Acer CB715-1W from 2019 and I feel like it is kinda dying now and am looking for an upgrade.

I was looking for a 15" - 16" Chromebook with a numeric keypad mainly. I don't game, or do anything fancy. I just use this purely for online browsing shows on Netflix, Hulu, etc. 1080p/4k would be cool.

I'm honestly not sure about specs too much, but I can do without a backlit keyboard or a touchscreen. A USB would be needed though.

I have a budget of up to $600ish pre or post possible holiday sales.

Thanks for the help!

HELP HOW DO I FIX IT THERE WAS A GLASS OF MILK BESIDE ME CHROMEBOOK WHILE I WAS DOING HOMEWORK AND MY CAT JUMPED UP AND KNOCKED IT OVER ALL OVER THE KEYS

So I'm currently trying to run an apk game I got online and it's saying I have to disable USB debugging and pulls up Developer options but I can't find it and everywhere I look online to figure out how to disable tells me to disable developer mode which would wipe my chromebook and the game.
