“I would like to get a light computer and one of my friends suggested me Chromebook. I know very little about this. What is Chromebook? can Chromebook play Blu-ray discs because I often play Blu-ray discs with my desktop computer?”
If you happen to have the same questions, this guide would be helpful. Here, we would like to show you what Chromebook is, what media files Chromebook accepts and how to play Blu-ray movies on Chromebook effectively.

Part 1: Can Chromebook support Blu-ray?

Running Google’s Chrome OS as its operating system instead of Windows or Apple’s OS X, Chromebook is a thin client laptop which usually costs less than £200. As an Internet-dependent laptop, Chromebook can start up in seconds with higher productivity and creativity. When you run Chromebook, you will find that the only app it has is the Google Chrome Internet browser. Other applications like videos, image files and documents are all stored on Google Virtual Server. For Chromebook, everything will be saved on the Web so that you can access to them on the computer. All the software and application on Chromebook are associated with your Google account so that your data will be secure if you can’t find them on Chromebook. Besides, all the Web apps could only be running if you connect the Chromebook to the internet.

If you want to play Blu-ray disc, maybe you will be disappointed to find that you can’t play Blu-ray movies directly on Chromebook because Chromebook doesn’t have a built-in Blu-ray drive to read the data on Blu-ray disc. So, are there any ways to watch Blu-ray movies on Chromebook? The only way is to rip Blu-ray to Chromebook videos with the help of ripping programs.

Conclusion

Obviously, these 2 Blu-ray converter tools are very similar to each other. There are just a few minor but sometimes very important differences. Firstly, Leawo Blu-ray Ripper supports lossless output (multi-track MKV, multi-track MP4 output, which has no change upon source Blu-ray movies).

Secondly, Leawo Blu-ray Ripper provides multiple other user-friendly features such as the screenshot snapper, video rotation, file merge, instant preview of subtitles and audio tracks selected, etc. These would bring more fun to Blu-ray ripping process. At last, Leawo Blu-ray Ripper starts from $44.95 while VideoSolo Blu-ray Ripper costs %67.92. The price differences would be an important element.
No matter which one you choose, you could easily play back Blu-ray movies on Chromebook and other media players such as iPad, iPhone, etc.
