Chromebooks

I haven’t mentioned Chromebooks in a while and I don’t want them to feel neglected. When Chromebooks first came out, they were a bit more simplistic than they are now. I don’t think most people thought they would last long, but clearly, they fill a need. The main need is simplicity.
 
Chromebooks can generally be thought of as a computer that has one main purpose, accessing the internet via a Web Browser. However, they are now a lot more than that, and can do many things offline. The Chromebook works within the Browser, but doesn’t require an internet connection to do everything. Obviously, the best experience will be with internet, but many apps are now available within the Browser that do not require an internet connection.
 
When you think about what you do on your phone, tablet, computer, a lot of it is done through a Web Browser, so that makes the Chromebook a more focused use computer. When I am on my home desktop computer, I spend most of my time in a Browser. I use a Browser to get to MS Word, buy from eBay and Amazon, and to look up tech tips, how-to’s, and funny videos.

Now, another reason I like Chromebooks is that they generally require less resources that Windows and Macs. What this means is that an older Windows laptop that has gotten too slow over the years may be re-purposed as a Chromebook, which will run just fine. A link to do that is CLICK HERE. 
 
The fact is, Windows and Macs operating systems are designed to do lots of things for lots of people, and many of those things are never used by most people. By simplifying the Chromebook experience, it focuses of what most people want to do most of the time. It can still be a word processor, do spreadsheets, and video editing. If you are a professional video editor, than sure, you’ll want a Mac or PC, but most of us can get what we want from a simpler Chromebook.
 
Most games that are in the Google Play Store will run on the Chromebook. So if you prefer playing Stupid Zombies 2 on a bigger screen than your smart phone, then maybe a Chromebook is the way to go. In terms of money well spent, your bucks will go farther on a Chromebook, as long as it will fulfill your needs.
