In 2022, I was exposed to the concept of a gaming Chromebook, which immediately piqued my interest.

And that concept had naturally been met with suspicion andeven outright derisionfrom my peers.

The first title out was fittinglyMinecraftand naturally, it played incredibly smoothly.

Same for another favorite indie title of mine,World of Horror.

But there are more demanding titles available for Steam Borealis, so how do those stack up?

GeForce Now

But when it ran properly, it was able to run at around 14fps.

Any title runs at 60fps locked, including AAA games likeCyberpunk 2077andBaldurs Gate 3.

Im more impressed with how Steam Borealis ran games natively.

Its disappointing that some titles can’t be played due to a lack of specs.
