Green charging light usually means the Chromebook is fully charged.

Customer Replay

Is there anything else I can do for you today?

Could you press on the pop up with the FInal software update?

author

When I click on the final update message it says hold on I clicked on it but nothing happened let me do it again

Customer Replay

Of course.

author

it won’t do nothing now it’s shutting down
it says system not responding I clicked wait
it won’t come up idk what to do

Customer Replay

Its got a black screen again?

author

no it’s a normal screen but when I click on the message saying no more updates it does nothing

Customer Replay

Since it's saying there are no more updates there is no need to be anything happen on your screen because you are already in the last update.

author

yes but it will no longer update
ok so your a computer guy right?

Customer Replay

Yes.

author

I am an RN in school getting my BSN if I were to buy a new computer what would you recommend?

Customer Replay

It depends on the loot of staff including how much you will be working on this, I can't recommend you exact model because it would be my personal opinion you better get a consultation from the sales manager at the store, all I can say there are no really bad brands today it could be anything or Lenovo or HP or any other, It also depends on how much storage you need, I would recommend to start from 512 GB and get something on new Intel processer such any I5 from 11 gen.

author

Ok so mostly I have to write papers! Urgh!!! Jus want one that is better than what I have cause wen I turn n a paper it never comes out the same on the other side

Customer Replay

The best option here would be to get a MacBook air it's small not heavy, you can bring it whenever you want.
But you can check any other brand with 8GB of ram some last-gen i5 or even i7 processor on it and with a big amount of memory.

author

So do you have any idea why this chrome book shut down? I can’t have this happening again and don’t know what to do about it

Customer Replay

Probably could be just system error things like this happens.
