What is a Chromebook?
Chromebooks are a relatively new type of computer. They run on a Google operating system (OS), which means everything is cloud-based and should run better and faster than a traditional OS. As Chromebooks run a Google OS, they are super secure and run the whole suite of Google products such as Gmail, Drive, Keep, Calendar and more. You can use everything online and offline with the cloud storage ensuring your laptop’s memory doesn’t get clogged up with files.
