As somebody who edits video on a Mac and writes scripts on a Pixel C, I’ve by no means paid Chromebooks a lot thoughts. They all the time appeared too spartan, too reliant on a continuing connection to the web, so I principally ignored all the class.
That’s, till a couple of months in the past. When the information broke that Chromebook shipments had eclipsed these of the Mac for the primary time, it received my consideration. Even when lots of these models went to schooling and company clients, that was an entire lot of Chromebooks – so I began questioning what was I lacking out on. If I have been nonetheless a university scholar (or if I have been as frugal as I ought to be) might I exploit a Chromebook on the day by day?
I spent a number of days with the ASUS Chromebook Flip to get a style of what utilizing ChromeOS was like. What I discovered was that it isn’t for me – I am going to keep on with the Pixel C for my convertible wants – however that it may be an ideal match for an alternate-universe me who’s simply now delivery off to high school. Take a look at my first Chromebook expertise … and if in case you have one, let me know what you employ yours for!
