When it comes to the world of operating systems, few have come to garner as much popularity as Windows or macOS. This is due to many factors, the most important of which are the ease-of-use they offer with their user-friendly interface and its speed at which they can perform tasks.Google tried its hand at developing an operating system known as the Chrome OS. The OS stored most of its user data on cloud servers, making it primarily web-based. It was the primary OS for all Chromebooks. However, this quickly fell out of fashion due to the lack of functionality compared to its rivals. Acer revived the Chrome OS with Chromebase, an all-in-one desktop made primarily for office and educational use.What it can offerThe Chromebase is pretty good for the niche tasks it was developed for which revolved around kiosk management, education, or business-related work. However, outside the tasks mentioned, it can’t be expected to do much as its specs are pretty measly compared to other hardware. Then again, with everyone forced to stay at home these days and investing in hardware that lets them work at home, this kind of computer is certainly most welcome.Acer has improved on the Chromebase line since the press release of the first model back in 2015. Just from the physical aspect alone, they changed the base of the computer from a tilting stand to the new diamond cut stand.Since this is a computer that works on the Chrome OS, it will also use Google-related apps for most if not all of your tasks. It allows you to schedule a meeting with your Google Calendar, send the invites to other people with your Gmail, and finally have the conference at Hangouts.Acing meetings with Acer Chromebase" – @googlecloud discuss our new Acer Chromebase for Meetings 24V2, which is specially tailored for Hangouts Meet. Acer (@Acer) February 12, 2019While the previous version allowed you to adjust the built-in camera up to 30 degrees, the newer models don’t, and it doesn’t need to. The new versions, 24V2 and 24I2, have a 5MP wide-angle camera in case you have more people in the room for a conference call. The previous model had four mics and two speakers, but the newer ones have trimmed that to two for both mics and speakers.If the Chromebook is made to handle work-related tasks, this should also have the security to keep your business secrets safe. One of the highlighted aspects of the Chromebase from the getgo is its built-in security and protection. The newer versions promise of multiple-layered protection which they termed “defense in depth”.Although the two new versions don’t seem to have much difference, the 24V2 is catered to individual users for

Here is the configuration that worked for me:Acer Chromebook 14 running Chrome OS Version 69.0.3497.95 with the HP Print for Chrome extension.HP LaserJet Pro MFP M130fw updated to firmware Version 20180510 with Release Date June 7, 2016 and configured with Wi-Fi Direct OFF, Network Wi-Fi ON, and HP ePrint OFF.Google Nexus 5X using T-Mobile service with a hotspot providing wi-fi Internet access to the Acer Chromebook and the HP M130fw.Printing is initiated on the Chromebook via the HP Print for Chrome extension. Before updating the HP M130fw firmware, the Chromebook did not find the HP M130fw. Other than that, the main issue I encountered is that the Chromebook sometimes does not immediately find the HP M130fw, so it is sometimes necessary to restart the Chromebook app, or even the Chromebook itself to make printing work.Scanning is initiated on the HP M130fw using the Apps menu on the touchscreen control panel. Specifically, this uses the Google Drive app to scan and then upload a scan file to the Google Drive account being used on the Acer Chromebook.Connecting the HP M130fw to the Acer Chromebook with a USB cable did not work because the Chromebook did not detect the HP M130fw.I found no documentation that the HP Print for Chrome extension worked with the HP M130fw, but it worked the same as with the HP M127fw, which is documented as working.The HP Smart app required wi-fi, so the HP Smart app did not work on the Google Nexus 5X because there was

Google and its partners announced the first Chrome OS tablets in spring 2018. While the browser-based operating system has been running on notebooks, all-in-one devices, and desktop PCs for years, Google has slowly optimized it for touch. By now, Chrome OS is running on several convertible notebooks and a couple of tablets.Chrome OS is becoming more and more interesting as a tablet operating system since Google started to support the Play Store and Android apps. On almost all Chrome OS devices sold these days you can use most Android apps from the Play Store – with a lot of them being optimized for tablets. However, as of now, Chromebooks are mostly targeted to the education markets and are not widely available worldwide yet.The first Chrome OS tablet announced is the Acer Chromebook Tab 10. It supports a Wacom stylus but resembles most Android tablets and the standard iPad. However, with the HP Chromebook x2, we get a 12.3-inch tablet with a keyboard dock, that directly competes with higher-end Windows tablets like the Microsoft Surface Pro. Android devices are not capable of competing with those as of now.Chrome OS For Tablets: Better Than Android?Compared to Android, Chrome OS has two major advantages. The first one is, that like Microsoft updates Windows 10 directly, Chrome OS updates are delivered directly by Google. Almost all Android tablets run old versions of that mobile operating system. Because of that, they are not just lacking the newest feature, but also are not as secure at the same time.Since you can install Android apps and games on Chrome OS tablets, they can be used like an Android tablet can be. And in addition to that, Chrome OS is more productivity friendly. Because of that, it is an Alternative to Android, but also Windows 10 and Apple’s iPad Pro series.All Chrome OS TabletsHere is a current list of Chrome OS tablets that have been announced so far.
