Google Chromebooks are small, extremely portable web-based netbooks, which run on the Chrome OS and incorporates the Chrome browser. As you have probably guessed, these handy devices feature “all things Google” and are manufactured with partnering companies such as Samsung and Acer for now. In addition to Android, the Chromebook is Google’s move into the lucrative mobile computing marketplace.
The heart of the Chromebook is the Google designed operating system, based on the Chromium OS, which was an open-source project Google started. Its off-spring is called the Chrome OS, a Linux based system which is mainly dedicated to web applications and simple chores associated with surfing the net. Instead of a traditional desktop interface, the Chromebook has a browser and because these devices have a Solid State Drive boot times are really fast – under 10 seconds and instantly from sleep. There is also a media player and a simple file manager, along with Wi-Fi and 3G connections. These devices usually come with a full-size keyboard, 10 to 12 inch displays and weigh around 3 to 4 pounds.
Just think of the Chromebook as a mini-laptop, rather than a slate like device such as the iPad. The Chromebook has just about everything you would find on a laptop, except for an optical drive. It has USB ports, connections out such as HDMI or VGA, a touchpad, memory card readers and a webcam.
However, the most dominating feature of a Google Chromebook is something you can’t see just by looking at the device. Actually, this feature is the main overriding reason why you should get one in the first place. So what’s this important feature? Well, it has everything to do with online storage. What some idiot called “in the cloud” or “cloud computing” – an expression which sort of mystifies and confuses a simple process of storing your content on a remote third party online server. In the case here, your content is stored on Google controlled servers.
This is very logical since the Chromebook is a device designed for the web. Storing your content online means it’s available at anytime, anywhere. Much like your web based email accounts such as Gmail. This also provides convenient backup and you really don’t have to worry about downloading and storing material on your device – which can cause security issues if you’re not careful. Which brings us to another reason to buy a trade in chromebook but lets examine each of these reasons in detail.
