Historically, our laptops have worked with different versions of Windows or MacOS. The advent of new technologies, such as the power of data transfers thanks to fiber or 5G, as well as increasingly large and secure cloud storage, have completely changed the situation. Thus, we have completely changed our way of seeing the use of the computer.
It is this vision of the future that gave the giant Google the idea to create the ChromeOS operating system that can be used on all laptops and later took the name Chromebook (not available for a computer running Windows or macOS). One question remains and it may scare new users. What about compatibility with MS Office, games and other common applications? What about storage capacity and data transfer performance? In fact, not only do we find perfect compatibility, but the overall use is optimized. Let’s do a check-in.
Take advantage of Google’s Chromebook rebate offer!
Enjoying the optimization of work and online storage is a very good thing. However, a second essential point must be studied carefully: the cost of a machine of this type. Since the principle of a Chromebook computer is to work online, it is no longer necessary to be in possession of such an important machine resource as before to obtain an equivalent or even superior result.
And Google is helping. In fact, for any purchase of a Chromebook made before June 25, 2023 inclusive, you benefit from a deferred refund offer on the purchase of your machine. If the price is less than or equal to 399.99 euros including tax, 50 euros will be refunded. For a cost of 400 euros and more, you will receive 80 euros.
It’s time to check out the current deals on Chromebooks!
This new approach to working online and all the resulting optimization is a real revolution. The major laptop manufacturers are fully aware of this. Here are some examples:
The renowned brand Asus has thus created a complete pack focused on mobility, offered by Boulanger for only 400 euros. This set consists of a laptop with a bag and a mouse. Of course, this computer takes advantage of the potential of ChromeOS, so much so that its screen is touchscreen, thus providing the advantages of a computer and a tablet.
HP also offers its solution sold by Boulanger at 429.99 euros and which comes with a cover and wireless speaker. Of course, we find ChromeOS and a 14-inch touch screen in a computer that weighs only 1.5 kg. The connection to the local network is optimized thanks to the presence of a sixth generation Wi-Fi. So you enjoy seamless productivity from anywhere.
If you don’t want a pack but just an ultraportable one, take advantage of the Lenovo Duet, sold by Boulanger for only 249 euros and which will give you the benefit of a computer weighing only 450 grams with a 10.1-inch screen. touch screen, while harnessing the power offered by the philosophy that revolves around ChromeOS?
These are just a few examples because the number of new Chromebook machines is exponential.
Chromebook: practical and intuitive handling
Like any new approach, a Chromebook can be scary for new users. However, a computer running ChromeOS naturally becomes much faster, more secure, without having to worry about updates as they happen automatically in the background.
You benefit from a much greater autonomy, the instant start of your machine and several thousand applications that can be used directly online, including of course the famous Microsoft Office suite.
To answer a question that must be itching, yes, like any computer, the Chromebook is fully capable of functioning when not connected to the web. To do this, it has an “Offline” mode.
The range of a Chromebook is therefore very wide, if not infinite. Whether it’s for work or entertainment, ChromeOS literally multiplies the comfort we’ve known so far.
