I have an Acer Notebook I bought in 2015, running Windows 10 Home, and I tried the Chrome OS Flex on it. Yeah, this Mac was not my first choice for testing this OS. Google Assistant gets invoked, the moment you say the “catchphrase”, ‘Hey, Google’, or “Ok, Google”. The microphone was working flawlessly on my Acer Notebook while I was testing this OS on it.
Seems like the OS, can’t access the microphone’s data even after detecting and accessing it.
Now, what wasn't working was the backlit of the keyboard, like, it was straight away turned off, and the other part was the microphone. The gestures on the trackpad were working just fine. Some function keys, surprisingly, were mapped accurately, like the F3 (Mission Control) key, which is used to bring opened applications in a group overview. So, that’s where things get complicated because you wouldn’t close all your work tabs and boot back to your OS just for that application, right? But the absence of that app might affect your workflow.Ĭoming to the function keys, yep, they were working as intended. Now, you may use a whole a whole different stack that might not have web app support. Spotify and BitWarden for streaming music and managing confidential stuff, respectively, and both are available as a web app. Google Docs for documentation, and Drive for cloud storage. YouTube for content consumption, to keep a note of something Google Keep comes to the rescue. My go-to browsers are Brave browser and Google Chrome, and Gmail for replying and checking up on emails. Now, the reason I emphasized on ‘my’ earlier is solely because of the application stack I use in my daily workflow, which mostly includes apps from Google. So, yeah, the workflow isn’t getting affected in any way. I’d consider myself a heavy user tons of tabs lying around, multitasking, learning and practicing advanced CSS, and spends most of its time on the web, learning and curating stuff. It is fast, customisable, and it supports Linux environments too. It is indeed giving me a better experience than macOS in terms of performance. I’d like to say this right off the bat, “I won’t mind making it my daily driver”. I’d consider talking about usability, reliability (it’s still in the beta, “unstable” phase), and accessibility in this section. Installed Apps on Chrome OS Flex Experience
