5 reasons why a Chromebook is the perfect laptop for most people
I've been a tech journalist for 30 years and used every OS and hardware platform you can imagine. If you want a fast and reliable laptop at a reasonable price, go for a Chromebook.
Yes, a part of that is because ChromeOS is "mostly" a web browser masquerading as an OS, but even with Linux and Android app support enabled, I've still never suffered from a problem. You won't need anti-virus or anti-malware... just make sure to apply any/all updates when they become available, avoid suspicious websites, and only install extensions from the official Google Chrome Store and you're good to go. No other operating system can compete with ChromeOS's ability to factory reset and return you to a pristine working state without having lost your data, bookmarks, apps, and more.
