Code changes seem to indicate that Google has killed plans to make a gaming Chromebook with Nvidia RTX GPUs, but does it really matter?
The idea of a gaming Chromebook might sound fine on paper, but ultimately these machines would probably cause many problems for the users that were talked into buying them. That’s because Google currently utilizes virtual machines to run many of its apps, and anytime VMs are used, you will be looking at chances for possible performance losses. Sure, it can work fine enough, but it wouldn’t be anywhere near as good as running the apps outside of a VM.
Chromebooks are known for their lightweight and thin design. A gaming Chromebook would most likely be thicker, due to the need for a dedicated cooling system. Image source: Chris Smith, BGR
