You must have heard about Chromebook? Now I am going to describe whether you should buy it or not and its advantages and disadvantages. Let’s go ahead.

What is a Chromebook?

I could answer this question in a word. But, if I describe a little more, you will not only understand it but also know its importance. I know that many among us switch on their laptop or desktop and open a web browser and spend the rest of the time using that web browser only. We do all of our works with Google chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer/ Edge. Such as checking for new mail, Facebook, Twitter, online news reading, reading articles on blogs etc.

 It is seen that there are many users who will not turn their laptop on if you say that the internet connection will remain off for several hours. Because, today the need for Internet is the greatest of all. And to use Internet we use web browsers.

But if you can meet all your needs with one web browser, what is the necessity of Windows, Mac and Linux in your computer? If your computer run on an operating system, it needs to boot first. You wait for when it will be turned on, all processes will be completed and you will open browser to access the Internet. In this situation, if I tell you that there is computer or laptop that has only one browser and there is no separate software. And this computer is Chromebook or Chrome OS.

Chromebook, powered by Google, is a software that can run in any laptop where other operating systems such as Windows, Mac, Linux etc. are of no use. The laptop can run only using Chrome OS. Just open the Chromebook, it will run within 5-6 seconds. Now click on Chrome directly and start your work.

Why is Chromebook becoming popular?

The main reason of the popularity of Chromebook is its lower price. In these Chromebooks, hardware is not advanced enough. Since there is no Windows, Linux or Mac operating system and only one web browser is installed, there is no need of so much hardware. So, nowadays Chromebooks are found with less hardware and a lot of stylish look.

Another advantage is, the battery life is much more. Because, there is no other separate software installed here. And one web browser does not decay battery so much. And the best thing about the Chromebook is, its performance. Chromebooks are faster and loading time is much less. So, you can get smooth experience while using it.

Should you buy a Chromebook?

Is Chromebook good? If you have a small budget and you want to buy a laptop for basic tasks and internet browsing, Chromebook could be your best choice. If you think that your usage is not much and you will not use any other special software such as- photo editing, video editing or audio processing etc., you can purchase a Chromebook without any hesitation.

You will be able to do several tasks such as normal browsing, blogging, word, excel etc. with Chromebook very easily. And since it is not managed by Windows, companies require no license to prepare it. So, you get a Chromebook at such a cheaper rate. Moreover, if you want, you will be able to install Windows later.
