Thinking of getting a Chromebook, are there specific specs that matter for ChromeVox?

[Steve Sawczyn]

Hi,

I'm thinking of  getting a Chromebook and am wondering if there are any specs, such as processor or RAM, that I should take into consideration considering that I will be using it with ChromeVox?  I plan to use it primarily for GSuite applications.  I admit I'm kind of intrigued by the Duo as it's small, very portable, and can be also used as a tablet, but am not sure how effectively it can be used with ChromeVox when in tablet mode.  I'd definitely appreciate any thoughts/suggestions.

Thanks,

Steve

You always need to check the parameters, what processor, hard drive, video card

a great starting point is a chromebook with 4gb of ram. if you only do web browsing this is perfectly fine for that. if you do want to store offline files I recommend at least 64GB

Thanks so much, this is great.  Is the touch screen accessible with ChromeVox?  If so, I'd definitely want to get a touch screen laptop or the Duo because it can be used as a tablet, but if not, I'd certainly save the money.

Thanks again, I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly.

You don’t need to worry about specs. Chromevox unlike NVDA is integrated into the OS so no matter how powerful your Chromebook is, you will have a responsive screen reading experience. That said if you want android pp support, most of us do. An arm based Chromebook is better for it compared to an intel Chromebook. To help you search. Any Chromebook with an intel or AMD CPU will run chromevox perfectly, but may not run android apps that well. Where as a Chromebook with a snapdragon, media tech processor or any other will run android apps natively. Chromevox will run perfectly on those to. If you want to try out chrome OS now before you consider  Chromebook. Try installing or testing out chrome OS flex on a spare machine

Hello there,

I am interested in trying out chrome OS flex on a spare machine.

How can I do this? How to download and install it and where to find it?

Thank you😊

Stanley

Firstly, android apps are meant for phones. And other arm based devices. If your device has an intel device and running well, you’re likely on arc legacy not arcvm arc legacy ran on android 9 but arcvm runs a pure version of android which will not work that well on intel
