You would think the best selling laptop on Amazon runs on Mac OS or
Windows, but it doesn’t. Instead it runs Linux, and it is Samsung’s ARM
powered Chromebook. It is the cheapest (listed at $249) among the top 20
best selling Amazon laptops,
it is easy to use, and its demand is so high that it is currently
selling for more than its listed price. Do not worry; it is still
cheaper than any of its competitors out there.
Some of you might be a little anxious about using Linux but that’s
the beauty of Chromebook, its interface is that of Google Chrome, and
who doesn’t know how to use Chrome? So while Linux runs the show, the
interface is pretty familiar to an average user.
Another great feature in Chromebook is that it allows you to edit
documents on Google Drive without an internet connection. However, the
true power of Chromebook is unveiled with an internet connection.
If you spend most of your time on the web (who are we kidding? of
course you do), the Chromebook is ideal for you. Its internet
connectivity rivals that of a Tablet, it has a 12.1 inch screen, and it
is perfect for people who work using web apps.
Samsung Chromebook has a large track pad, a nice keyboard, and
several applications that can help you tweet, read, write, and do all
the things you do to look busy while online. If all you need to do is
browse, use web apps, and work online, you should get this laptop.
However, if you need to run different programs and software
applications to complete your work, this is not the most powerful laptop
out there. If you primarily find yourself working on Google Docs, this
laptop might just be the thing you are looking for.
The best feature we like about this laptop is that it does not make a big deal
out of the operating system. Linux runs in the background while you
browse the net using Chrome interface; if this were being run on Mac OS
or Windows, there would be greater emphasis on the operating system.
With Chromebook, all you have to do is turn it on and find yourself
using Chrome.
