That’s what you get with Google Chromebook. The fact is, if you spend most of your computing time in a web browser, you don’t need a whole lot of software. And you certainly don’t need to pay
thousands for a laptop. Chromebook is a stripped down, lean machine, with very little fancy hardware. No rocket science is needed to fire it up and keep it running fast. Just get online and
go. Whether you spend your time on LinkedIn or Facebook, or just need a way to check email and work in Google apps, a Chromebook might be the best laptop for your money.
