These six reasons will explain why you should switch to a Chromebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><span data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/41810iOekqL._SL250_.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\" data-fancybox><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/41810iOekqL._SL250_.jpg\" alt=\"Why You Should Buy a Chromebook\" class=\"wp-image-23774\"\/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-s-simple\">It&#8217;s Simple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"c0 wp-block-paragraph\">Because of Chrome OS, a Chromebook doesn&#8217;t have any of those myriad settings, complicated navigations and bloated features that exist in Windows and Mac laptops. There&#8217;s only the web browser and the apps it offers. You don&#8217;t have to worry about anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-s-fast\">It&#8217;s Fast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"c0 wp-block-paragraph\">A Chromebook only takes a few seconds to boot up. It uses a solid-state drive instead of the slower hard disk drive. Despite having a relatively simpler processor, a Chromebook can handle every app you throw at it without noticeable delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"c0 wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"c3\">It&#8217;s more versatile than a tablet.<\/span>&nbsp;While admittedly underpowered against a Windows or Mac laptop, Chromebooks are&nbsp;leagues ahead of many tablets. It has a physical keyboard for fasting typing. It has a full-blown version of the Chrome web browser, while tablets have toned-down browsers that aren&#8217;t nearly as powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-s-secure\">It&#8217;s Secure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"c0 wp-block-paragraph\">A Chromebook offers several built-in protections from malware. It doesn&#8217;t suffer from most types of vulnerability that affect Windows laptops. In fact, you can use a Chromebook without installing any antivirus software. Plus, the laptop automatically updates itself to receive the latest features and security patches from Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-lasts\">It Lasts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"c0 wp-block-paragraph\">Many Chromebook models boast a battery life that can go up to 13 hours on a single charge. You can do a full day&#8217;s worth of work without having to worry about running out of power while you&#8217;re on the road.<a name=\"h.gjdgxs\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-s-cheap\">It&#8217;s Cheap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"c0 wp-block-paragraph\">Decent Chromebook models only cost somewhere between $200 and $300. That price range also entitles you to a free 100GB storage on Google Drive for two years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although Chromebooks had a rocky start, more and more people these days are realizing the potential of these lightweight laptops.
