Prasham Parikh is a freelancer at Android Police, and you can catch him writing how-to guides, features, and reviews on smartphones or pretty much anything that has a battery in it. The experience isn’t close to what you’d get with a MacBook and an iPhone, but it’s worth appreciating.

Even better, I can also use Nearby Share to wirelessly share files across devices. The Flex 5i can instantly tether to mobile internet, show and respond to notifications, and even silence the phone when needed. I really liked how well the latest versions of Chrome OS work with Android phones, especially the Pixel 6. The search shortcut on the keyboard, which works like Universal Search on macOS, makes it easier to find files, and I still contest replacing the CAPS LOCK key for this.īesides the fact that you’re using a myriad of Google services, Chrome OS makes the Flex 5i a secure laptop and its updates take place automatically in the background - that’s a big deal if you’re coming from Windows. The dock provides familiarity with traditional desktop OSs whereas the app drawer reminds you of core Android elements. Everything from the setup process to the user interface was extremely easy to get used to. Beyond the lacking third-party app support, Chrome OS has been a breeze.
