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’ve literally been struggling with this for over six months I’m so happy I discovered this video
  • Great videos as always. Would be nice to see a sequel to this video with more pro user tricks.
  • There are so many things I didn't know how to do on my chromebook a year ago. I've been really frustrated and didn't know how to navigate. This guy explains so much, kinda like sitting with a friend who can talk to me on my level. I will save this site and come back to it to recall his many tips. Thx!!!

    Singing...at lasssst. Thank you for being quick thorough and to the point. Most tutorials are overly complicated or overly simplified. You hit the sweet spot!

    Today is 12-01-2021 and I just bought my first Chromebook to help me take online classes and so far I really like it but I'm a little lost. I haven't been on a computer in 15 years... your videos are very helpful, Thank you and please keep going!
  • @SuperNovaNSP
    great video! this guy is like reallllllllly down to earth and easy to follow in the video. i like how he calmly cuts down to the chase quickly and informs the viewer about chromebooks.
  • @kbryan5712
    Thank you so much! You are amazing at explaining and getting me ready for my new Chromebook. If only all instructors were as adept at getting information across as you are, no matter the subject, just think what a wonderful world this would be! :D

    I have had the same chrome book a long time. 5 years or longer. I still works as good as it did when I got it. It's so fast. Only problem is it will not update any longer. 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.
  • @ron_jak
    Watching this without a Chromebook! 😅
  • @Jim-nv1dc
    Very well presentation, especially for anyone just starting with Chromebook after years with the Microsoft systems. Hope to see more of these in the future. Great Job!
  • @Me-wk3ix
    I LOVE my Chromebook. I have very simple needs, and it's so smooth and hassle-free for me. I love that I can't lose anything. I buy a new Chromebook, sign in, and everything is just there.
  • @w00dee13
    Outstanding video! Just bought a chromebook to play around with it and I am astonished by it's performance and simplicity. Your tips were very informative, I did not realize there was an SD card slot. Thanks

    Hey thank you for this video. I got my chromebook for christmas 2020. And now I feel that I have learnt more alot about my device & the features on it as well. really helped me to understand a lot about the Chromebook.
  • @GhostAcez
    I have been thinking about getting a chromebook as a secondary device to replace an old android tablet. But I have been worried about the limitations of ChromeOS. It just hit me though... Outside of playing games, 90+% of what I do on my laptop in on google chrome. Don't know why I didn't realize this sooner lol.
