One of the hidden advantages to proudly owning a Chromebook are the perks that include it. Google’s calling out one, particularly: each Chromebook proprietor can now get three free months of Priority entry to Nvidia’s GeForce Now (GFN) service, only for proudly owning a Chromebook.

And in case you personal a gaming Chromebook just like the Lenovo IdeaPad 5, you may get much more: entry to GeForce Now Ultimate, which grants entry to the best tier of GFN providers.

Nvidia’s GeForce Now is Nvidia’s game-streaming service, one which lets you bypass the inherent weaknesses of a Chromebook: its lack of highly effective {hardware}. At one level, gaming on a Chromebook was restricted to no matter native Flash video games had been out there. Now, gaming on a Chromebook works identical to Netflix. Games streamed by way of Microsoft’s Xbox providers or Nvidia’s GeForce Now stay within the cloud, and also you play them remotely by way of your Chromebook. GeForce Now and Xbox Game Pass differ solely in that Nvidia’s providers requires you to already personal your video games (although it now helps selects Xbox Game Pass video games, too).

However, GeForce Now was constructed to present Chromebook gamers the expertise of PC players: the Priority tier lets you play as much as 6 hours at a time at 1080p decision, on PC servers operating GPUs with Nvidia’s real-time raytracing capabilities (RTX) enabled. (After the six hours are up, you’ll have to start a brand new session, however you are able to do so indefinitely.) The Ultimate tier offers you entry to servers operating RTX 4080 GPUs, as much as 4K decision, and as much as 120 frames per second. You’ll be capable to play for eight hours at a stretch, too.

What makes this perk so nice is that Nvidia, naturally, expects you to pay for this service: $9.99 per 30 days for the Priority tier, and $19.99 per 30 days for the Ultimate Tier. Owning a Chromebook, then, will earn you about $30 price of Priority tier credit, and just below $60 price of Ultimate tier credit score, too.

Don’t cease there, although. Did that proudly owning a Chromebook comes with further perks, too? Google’s Perk page has extra: a one-month trial of Boosteroid cloud gaming, a free copy of Minecraft, a free three months of Minecraft Realms, 12 months of Google One, and extra. The free GeForce Now subscription is only one hidden difference between a laptop and a Chromebook, serving to the small cheap Chromebook grow to be extra helpful than it already is.
