In other reviews I've seen that many see the exotic operating system and strong Internet shortcut critical. Since I can only say "principle did not understand." Or the other way: Before you buy a Chromebook, you should have understood what you may / must be expected because:
# Chromebooks are not really cheap - there are now "normal" laptops similarly priced
# You can not use his usual software because ChromeOS is an extremely reduced Linux, which serves only to run Google's Chrome browser. The "applications" so all Chrome Extentions. So if you want to know if a Chromebook for itself could be interesting, you can try it out by itself installed on the PC Chrome. What works here, works with high probability just on a Chromebook.
# Chromebooks are usually small, light, elegant and the battery lasts long, because the hardware is not very powerful and a real hard drive is unnecessary
# Chromebooks run extremely quietly, or silently, because the hardware is not as warm and therefore (such as here at the HP Chromebook 11) no fan cooling is required
# Software updates are not an issue - Google plays from time to time ChromeOS- / Chrome updates a - and otherwise give to yes no applications
# Even if you have no internet connection times (in train / plane etc.) you can still use some offline Extensions, play movies or music, text, table or presentation files Create / Edit (using Google Docs) , mail (offline version of Gmail)
# Create / edit Office Docs via Google Docs or Microsoft Office 365
# By the ultra slim OS starts a Chromebook in less than 10 seconds, or if you have it simply collapsed it is unfolding at right back and latches onto in no time into a WLAN
# The war against viruses / Trojans / Spyware painting and is guided on Chromebooks from Google - the user therefore nothing more to do
# With a Chromebook is obtained for 2 years 100GB space on Google Drive - 15GB you also get so already free. Who does not mind that Google, NSA & Co. may look onto the drive and in the mail
CONCLUSION:
I love the device - always ready, always at hand, easy to use, stylish, small, lightweight, long battery life. Super go. Downer: Big Brother is watching me.
