Chromebook Vs Windows Laptop 2024

i have tested this with both a Mac and Windows laptop, and am currently using it with a new 2024 Mac (which only has 2x USB-C ports on the rear). Perfect for plugging in USB memory sticks, an old USB printer, and an external USB HDD for Time Machine backup. Positives - very fast (10Gbps), small and compact, great for travel, no drivers needed, Works with multiple O/S. Negative - Well the only thing i can think of is when its on my desk under the Mac, (with the cable going away from you) the Startech logo is upside down! Very minor point, but this is the only negative i can come up with. Highly recommended product, im very pleased with it.

I have been taking a lot of drone and trail camera video. I was using a Chromebook and a windows system to look at and process them. This MacBook Air M2 is everything that was suggested and them more. Will take a little time to learn the new operating system, (you x out on the left, not the right) and to decide the best software as my experience grows. Glad to make another purchase at B&H

I USE THIS IN MY DESKTOP & LAPTOP AND LOVE THE FACT THAT IT IS 256GB VS MANY OTHER BRANDS THAT ARE 250GB & 240GB!

It's a great product but If only it did a little more than what your phone can do. I enjoy it though. It wont replace the need for a laptop entirely but close to a chromebook.

Great minimalist laptop bag with just enough space to carry a few essentials. Just what I was looking for to carry a Chromebook.

It seems well-made my Chromebook looks comfy in it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the USB-C Multimedia Adapter because I travel and do presentations. I set up training presentations on a laptop or Chromebook. Then I use either an available Moniter or TV. Often some are older or don't have the same media attachment as my laptop or Chromebook. With the Multimedia Adapter I never have to worry about not being able to connect to give my presentations. There is nothing worse than to have a room full of people that are paying you to conduct a training and you look like you are not competent enough to connect a PC to a TV or projector. This Adapter has already been a lifesaver once and I am sure it will be again. It is just super convenient.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works to charge both my Lenovo laptop and Chromebook at a decent speed. Very similar to the original cords that came with those devices. Can’t speak to durability yet but hoping it will last.

I love my laptop, its fast and works great. My desktop is Windows 7 pro and this comes with windows 8.1 home. I just need to upgrade it to pro and I'm good to go.

Worked great with my Windows 10 laptop. I did not need to use the Driver DVD.
