Chromebooks
What is a Chromebook?
Chromebooks are a new type of computer designed to help you get things done faster and easier. They run Chrome OS, an operative system that has multiple layers of security, cloud storage, and the most popular Google products built-in.
Running Google's Chrome operating system, and calling upon Google applications on the Cloud, such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, and more, the Chromebook is a lean and focused machine that isn't dependent on software stored on the hard drive.
Perhaps best of all, setup on a Chromebook can be completed in mere minutes. Plug in, turn it on, and you'll be up and running in no time! If you're in the market for a new laptop, consider Chromebook.
