If you need a new laptop but you don’t want to spend a lot, Chromebooks can be a great option. (If you already have an old computer lying around, you could also turn it into a Chromebook for free!)
But, if you want to buy a new computer, Chromebooks are hard to beat.
“Chromebooks initially were lame, but now they’re fantastic. They’re simple, fast, and cheap. Under $200 buys you a very good Chromebook. They have decent battery life, you can get on the Internet quickly, and they’re easy to travel with,” said Clark.
The great thing about Chromebooks is there’s virtually no boot-up time and you don’t have to spend the money on buying a Microsoft Office suite since the Chromebook relies on Google Drive for its word processor and spreadsheet functions.
One downside however is that Chromebooks may have a shorter lifespan compared to other computers. But, when you consider how fast technology changes, Chromebooks can be a great budget-friendly option for low-cost home computing, especially for folks who need basic web browsing and word processing capabilities.
