New's Flash - Students and Educators Love Chromebooks!
Maybe not a news flash for most of us, but I still meet people who don't quite understand the value of a Chromebook. I bought my first Chromebook about 10 years ago because I was curious about the potential of the device to support teaching and learning. I quickly realized that I could do 90 percent of what I do on the device. Today, I don't miss my Windows Laptop or MacBook Pro at all.
Why Chromebooks?
- When Chromebooks are compared to similar PC and Mac options, they are very affordable.
- Chromebooks boot up in seconds.
- Chromebooks update quickly.
- Chromebooks rarely crash or freeze up.
- Touchscreen Chromebooks include access to an incredible suite of Android Apps.
- Google Drive has evolved into a very powerful productivity suite that includes powerful word processing, presentation, spreadsheet, and drawing tools.
Which Chromebooks are the best?
This is a tough question, because I don't think you can go wrong with any Chromebook. That being said, the more you spend the better the device. Here are a few of my current favorites. I am writing this post using a Pixelbook Go. I love my Pixelbook, but I do feel there are better values when looking at Chromebooks.
Touchscreen
Big Screen
Best Full Flip
Budget Friendly
I will also continue to update this page as I have a chance to explore and recommend new Chromebooks.
