at this point in 2020 there's a couple
0:01
things that are true one lots of people
0:04
are buying Chromebooks and to lots of
0:07
more than ever are participating in
0:09
video chats so we wanted to take a quick
0:12
second to show you a couple Chromebooks
0:14
that we feel are probably the best fit
0:17
for you if the first thing you need out
0:20
of your device is to look good in your
0:22
video chats for reference most
0:29
Chromebooks come equipped with a 720p
0:31
camera and those look about as bad as
0:33
they sound and even some of the devices
0:35
that come equipped with 1080p cameras
0:37
scaled down everything to 720p when we
0:39
start working on video so for an idea of
0:42
what that looks like you can take a look
0:44
at this here's the front-facing camera
0:48
on the HP x 360 12b and here's a sample
0:52
shot from the Asus C 223 and finally
0:55
here is the Lenovo C 340 which of the
0:59
more affordable Chromebooks we have
1:00
around this one has the best 720p webcam
1:03
so as you can tell the images look soft
1:06
and they just honestly don't look good
1:08
at all and they'll help you get by if
1:10
you need to do a video chat of some sort
1:13
and they will work the person will see
1:15
you it's just not gonna look very good
1:17
but there are a couple Chromebooks that
1:19
actually stand out from the pack and
1:21
they deliver 1080p video whenever you're
1:24
in chats and they just look a lot better
1:26
than other devices and they're both made
1:29
by Google actually it's the pixel book
1:31
go and the pixel slate and both of them
1:33
are reasonably priced Chromebooks at
1:35
this point and they look a little
1:37
something like this this is a sample of
1:40
1080p video being recorded on the pixel
1:43
book go and you can notice all sorts of
1:45
more detail here and finally here is the
1:47
excellent pixels slate with its 8
1:49
megapixel wide-angle camera that's
1:51
capturing all sorts of details and
1:53
honestly just looks great and as you can
1:56
see side by side with the 720p
1:58
counterparts that you see in most other
2:00
Chromebooks these two kind of set
2:02
themselves apart again I'm not saying
2:04
that these are the best Chromebooks for
2:05
every user across the board but if
2:08
you're a user that is bought a
2:09
Chromebook and you're going to be
2:10
participating in video chats on a very
2:13
you care a little bit about how your
2:15
videos look to maybe your clients or
2:17
your co-workers then these are clearly
2:19
for right now the best two Chromebooks
2:22
you can go with because honestly they're
2:24
the only ones that deliver higher than
2:25
720p video in their front-facing camera
2:28
while you're doing video we hope to see
2:30
that change as time goes on as the
2:32
pandemic has set in and we've learned
2:34
what new work styles look like and video
2:37
chats and video conferences and all that
2:38
kind of stuff we're hoping that
2:40
manufacturers start looking towards 2021
2:42
and putting just better quality lenses
2:44
and higher definition cameras in
2:47
Chromebooks but for right now there's
2:49
not many to choose from and these two
2:51
from Google we think are the best ones
2:53
if that's what you're looking for but
2:54
