A Chromebook what is it? For starters, it is a very good economical alternative for those who wish to acquire a computer or replace their own. The Chromebooks run under a different operating system (other than Windows and Mac OS).
This implies that you have to download your apps in a slightly different way as well. This is done through the Playstore, you won’t have to look for them on the internet as you traditionally do.
The price of a Chromebook is generally lower than that of a conventional computer. This is perfect for students for example, or for those who do not have great use of their device. If you only consume online content, for example, Chromebooks are perfect for you.
Also important information, there are no viruses on Chromebooks, so no need to protect them with an antivirus.
