a chromebook is a laptop that runs on
google's chrome os
software and that's the biggest thing
that makes it different from
a regular laptop that runs on mac or
windows and chromebooks are usually
cheaper than other laptops and they're
also a bit simpler since they're really
only designed to go online usually
chromebooks can cost
anywhere between three hundred dollars
and about seven hundred dollars
there are some things you can do offline
like you can use google docs offline and
google sheets and those kinds of apps
and you can also download android apps
to your chromebook
but really this is a computer that is
designed to be used with an internet
connection for people who
just want to check their email or write
a paper in google docs
they're not very powerful so you're not
going to expect to see
chromebooks with powerful processors or
standalone graphics
or a lot of memory if you find yourself
editing photos a lot or videos or really
using any software that
is more than just a web browser i would
say a chromebook
probably isn't for you and chromebooks
are also unique in that
each web page that you visit and each
app that you use
runs in its own isolated environment
known as a sandbox
and what that does is it protects your
computer from getting any
viruses should you visit a website that
is compromised that's really the biggest
difference
the google pixel book go is one of our
favorite chromebooks it's a great option
for anyone that
is thinking about using a chromebook as
their main computer
we really like it because it has a
really
sharp 1080p webcam which is honestly
pretty rare even on expensive laptops we
also just love the design and how easy
it is to use
and the keyboard is also great and
really quiet and it has long battery
life
it makes it feel like you're using a
more premium laptop but for a cheaper
price
you
