How is a Chromebook better than using Chrome browser on another OS?
- by bigpopakap
I'm looking into getting a Chromebook as a lightweight device to use for basic functions. I'm fully aware of some of the limitations like no native apps, limited functionality while offline (though this is getting better with Google Drive's offline capabilities).
Currently, I have a Windows machine on which I've installed Google Drive, so files in that folder are synced. And I use Chrome as my browser. So I have access to all the same apps (Drive, Calendar, Gmail, Google Music, etc.).
Is there any advantage to having a Chromebook over my current setup, other than the speed of the lightweight Chrome OS?
