Trying something new can be a little scary, especially when it comes to technology. You don’t know how comfortable you will feel or how well a new device will meet your needs. The best way to get over that fear is to dive in and give the new tech a try.
If cost has been keeping you from considering a Lenovo Chromebook, right now you have a prime opportunity to try something new. With deep discounts ranging from 20% to 70%, you can get a Chromebook for $99-$439.99.
When Chromebooks were first introduced over a decade ago, the world wasn’t quite as comfortable with the idea of running apps remotely. Now, with more devices taking advantage of the cloud and more apps becoming subscription services, the benefits of using a Chromebook have become even more obvious.
Here are just some of the things a Chromebook can do:
The important difference between a laptop and a Chromebook is the operating system. Chrome OS runs web-based apps, not software that you install on your laptop. The advantage of this is it reduces the demand on your RAM and increases the efficiency of your system. While it is possible to work offline, Chrome OS was specifically designed to work online, so you will need an internet connection to get the most out of a Chromebook.
