Why Chromebooks are Killin' It: Tip-of-the-Day #355


Chromebooks are known for being budget-friendly, long on battery life, highly secure, and easy-to-manage devices. They are also compatible with Google Classroom and Google Workspace for Education, which makes them a very attractive option for the enormous student population, many of whom are still forced to learn remotely. 

In fact, for the above stated reasons, Chromebooks are a logical choice for school administrators, faculty, students and IT staff who have had to pivot to online learning initiatives over the past year and half due to the pandemic.

 Chromebooks began noticeably penetrating the space from 2011 to 2016, and quickly gained traction with those seeking laptop-like form and functionality, and prices that tend to match the criteria of people looking for value-for-money computing devices. Although there are certainly more powerful, high-end models available, Chromebooks are generally budget-friendly compared with other laptops on the market. You can quickly find Chromebooks in the $200-$600 range on websites like Amazon

If you've been vacillating over which device to go with, or you just need a second device around the house (for the kids, car trips, vacations, etc.) the low price point aligns well. And, Chromebooks are perfectly suited for the budgetary requirements of students who either don't qualify for loaner laptops or whose schools don't offer a loaner program at all. 

Note that most Chromebooks can last at least eight hours on a full charge—more than enough for a full day of school/work with plenty to spare. These two factors alone make Chromebooks an attractive option for anyone seeking a portable, budget-friendly device that enables remote productivity.
