The Chromebook is perfect for school. It is affordable, fast and easy for kids to use. This is a powerful computer that has almost no risk for viruses and is always up to dat. Plus with the cloud storage of all the files your child has access to all his or her info wherever they go.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe some schools use the Chrome products which can link to any computer they use. It makes it easy to access their Chrome files from home and school.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It allows them access to the internet and gives them a point to start. They cannot download stuff to it so it's safer on your network and the computer itself. He can download some apps from the play store and run them and there are a lot of educational apps out there on the playstore. He will have access to email, web browsing, and some games with out filling your home PC with all the kid clutter. It's a place to start before buying him an actual PC. And easier on the wallet for a start
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.several things. The first and fore most is the fact the school is probably using google cloud services that was set up by google for the school for free. A chromebook is made to work hand in hand with google cloud services. Second is a chromebook is very light and the battery last all day for the most part. Third is they work. They dont blue screen or lock up or have to be worked on. Unless of course you physically abuse the thing. The chrome OS works very well for everyday use. especially for kids.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.To answer your question you first have to understand the difference between a chromebook and pc. As you may already know Pc's are windows based which means theres somewhat of a learning curve. Windows is like a tractor with many handles, you have to learn how each one works to get the full function of it. A chromebook on the other hand is simple, straight forward, and in my opinion a good learning tool for a beginner. Also if you are on a budget you can purchase a chromebook for less than $300.00. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck on your search.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hard to say why they recommended it but if they did I normally would so go with what the recommend or ask for another recommendation if you don't like chromebooks for some reason. They are great for internet content but not much else. Really as a student I could get by with one just for school work. However since I like photography and making videos with my several cameras it doesn't offer me much. For daily tasks it can be faster than a laptop since it does have a more focused use. Takes less than a 30 seconds from fully off to fully on.
