There has been a sad development on low-end Chromebook computers based on Google’s ChromeOS operating system. It has been said for a while that Nvidia graphics cards will come to Chromebooks and these affordable models will become stronger. However, Nvidia has no such plans for the Chromebook.
Nvidia-powered Google Chromebook computer won’t come out
ChromeOS users have received disappointing news from Google and Nvidia. It has been announced that Google has canceled its plans to release Chromebook models powered by dedicated Nvidia graphics cards.
The codes included in the ChromeOS update showed that Google has stopped development of multiple models that it has been working on since last year. Among the canceled projects are Chromebooks that are planned to be used for gaming.
Manufacturers like Acer, Asus, and Lenovo are working on new gaming-focused Chromebooks with high-refresh screens and much improved keyboards. However, these models still rely on graphics chips integrated into the processor. This limits their ability to play games at high settings.
Special graphics cards that Nvidia will develop for these computers could open a new door in Chromebook gaming. However, rumors that Chromebook computers will turn to gamers have been denied.
ChromeOS-based devices are currently focused on cloud services like Nvidia GeForce Now. Users who want to play games on their own computers will have to choose Windows or console for a while.
