Chromebooks are often low-cost and more spartan computers that can be great as a second laptop, or even a sole device for students or some other users. They run the Chrome operating system (OS), which is different from Windows, iOS or even Android.

As with anything, before making a decision, it’s important to understand the pros and cons of Chromebooks versus other computing platforms.

On March 14, 2017, I gave a free talk on Chromebooks at the Watertown (Wisconsin) Public Library.

Here is a link to the slides for that presentation:
