A Chromebook is a handy laptop replacement (for some), especially if you are a student or work in web-based apps. They’re great for writing assignments, attending online classes and/or work meetings, and getting other non-intensive tasks done. A recent Chrome OS update is breaking the camera on some models, though. This is very problematic because the issue affects all apps trying to access the camera hardware — not just the stock Camera app. So if you want to attend a virtual conference, scan a document, or take a regular photo, there’s no way to do so.
