I wonder if that is so. My laptop got decent hardware to run some older games, but the limitations of the VM bound me to play zero-to-no graphic games (drawn/animated). I know the VM can use CPU, RAM, disk space of the host, so can it use GPU the same way?

Hi I'm looking for a CB plus with the following characteristics.
I'm planning to retire soon, and I want something I can use to write books on. So good keyboard, and has longevity.
Price is not really an object, so long as it's not extortionate. 750 USD max.

First i started having problems that Ethernet connection suddenly stopped working. Needing to restart. Now when i click on the Chromebrowser icon, it soft restarts the system, and Ethernet internet is lost. I can open Chrome in incognito mode, it doesn't cause a restart. I have disabled all extensions. Also noticed that if i enable wifi-connection, i can click on Chrome, it opens browser without restarting the system. So it seems there's a bug in ethernet connection, or hardware issue.

While on ChromeOS 138 the screen on my 4 year old Acer Spin 713 went black. Not sure whether there was an update that caused it. The screen seemed dead, hardware reset didn't help, the Chromebook worked fined otherwise when connected to an external monitor, but no internal display was detected at all in Settings, the external monitor was the only display.
I thought it was perhaps the ribbon cable and was planning on fixing it at some point, but just went out and bought another Chromebook as the 4 year old one was starting to show its age anyway.
Today I updated it to ChromeOS 139, and to my surprise the screen came back to life after the update. It can't be a bad ribbon cable, it seems fine now.
Anyone one else who experienced something like this with ChromeOS updates? Just curious at this point whether there may have been some bugged 138 update in there. Anyway, good trick to force you to go out and get another Chromebook :-)

Multitouch is unreliable for me but I found out that while logged into guest mode it works perfectly. So I presumed something on my user configuration was messed up but after a powerwash there was no change.
Any guidance? I tried removing all extensions, all chrome flags, fiddling with every setting I can.
Can I powerwash and get into the OS without logging into any account so I can try the purest state of the OS with no preloaded configurations?
Edit: Never mind, the issue is present immediately after powerwash before even signing in, but guest mode works fine. I don't think there's anything I can do to fix it.

There are times when I pin files and the icon on the quick launch shelf serves a purpose. It is annoying to have the pinned files icon on the shelf when there are no pinned files. I don't need a permanent icon to remind me I can pin files. Is there a way to hide this useless icon when there are no pinned files? TIA

I have tried every single thing that anybody has suggested from reddit or from software inquiries, but nothing will get rid of developer mode and return the play store to my Lenovo 300e chromebook. It's just completely stuck in developer mode. Even recovery won't get it out, because when I press space to turn on OS verification, it says it's turned on, but then I bkkt up the Chromebook and it's still in developer mode. How do I fix this? Is there any way I can fix it?

Boa noite amigos, tudo bem.
Comecei a usar o sistema Chrome OS FLEX e estou gostando bastante da simplicidade dele. Mas esses ultimos dias descobri que tem uma versão desse sistema com Play Store e interface Linux. Entretando não consigo instalar ela, pois essa versão é destinadas apenas maquinas de fabrica.
Existe alguma forma de instalar a versão de Chromebook no meu HP STREAM 14.

I have a Lenovo Flex 3 15.6" Chromebook that I’ve been using for a few months, and I’ve noticed that Chrome OS updates feel a bit strange. They don’t really add any new features — it just seems like security updates.
It’s not like Android updates where you sometimes get new options and extras. With my Chromebook it feels like nothing even changed after an update.
Is this just how Chromebooks work, or is it something specific to my model? Do better Chromebook laptops get more noticeable updates?
Curious what others have experienced.
Thanks
