This week on The Chromecast, we talk quite a bit about why we feel like Chromebooks are great tools for tons of people. From their ability to leverage cloud services with aplomb to their rock-solid security, its easy to become a fan of Chrome OS once you understand its limits and learn to really leverage its benefits.

We also spend a bit of time talking about Stadia’s recent fumbles and where the game streaming industry could be headed as Microsoft’s xCloud eventually exits all its beta trials. Though Stadia is a beautiful platform, the lacking game library and player base are starting to hurt in light of the recent launch of NVIDIA GeForce NOW.

NOTABLE LINKS * The free Stadia Base tier may not arrive for a few months, and that is a problem * A factory reset of a Microsoft Surface Go reminded me why I love Chromebooks * TESTED: NVidia GeForce NOW runs like a dream on cheap and expensive hardware alike [VIDEO] * Can I install the Brave Browser on my Chromebook? * Microsoft’s Edge browser is speedy on Snapdragon, and that’s good news for Chromebooks * As Macbook malware continues to rise, Chromebooks remain a safe & secure bet
