Is Chromebook A Right Device For You ?

Chromebook & Chrome installed on some other OS works same and looks same. It doesn’t mean that Chrome browser running on Chromebook works faster than Chrome browser running on some other OS. But at the same time Chromebook opens-up (or you can say starts-up) much faster than any other OS, even starts up faster than Linux like Ubuntu & Debian etc.

Finally if you are still confused then download latest Google Chrome Web Browser, check out its new application launcher that works right from your desktop, visit Google Chrome Web Store and browse apps. And that’s all what what you get in a Chromebook plus advantage of quick startup and including disadvantage of running things locally, otherwise working on Chromebook is same as working on a Google Chrome browser installed on some other OS.
