Chromebooks are no longer a niche product – at least in the USA Chromebooks are popular school and study notebooks. But even in this country, laptops with ChromeOS (that’s the name of the Google system) are becoming more and more popular. There are quite a few good reasons for this. Because the basic idea of the Chromebook is to run power-hungry applications in the cloud. Although the devices are connected to the Internet, the actual computing power of the Chromebook plays a rather unimportant role. In this way, very inexpensive yet good devices can be built, which are also real cross-country skiers due to the slim system and the lower performance hunger.
You don’t have to do without the most important programs with Chromebooks, because Google has integrated the Play Store known from Android here. So there is more than enough high-quality software.
The most exciting Chromebooks from our point of view are clearly summarized in the following table. If you are looking for more details about the individual products or the ChromeOS system used, we recommend that you also take a look at our extensive purchase advice.
