What is the difference between a Chromebook and a Chromebook Plus?
Here is a table that summaries the key differences between Chromebooks and Chromebook Plus devices:
Chromebook Plus devices are a good choice for users who need a Chromebook with more power and features, such as students, professionals, and creatives. They can also be a good choice for users who want a Chromebook with a larger screen or longer battery life.
Here are some examples of Chromebook Plus devices:
- Samsung Chromebook Plus
- Acer Chromebook Spin 713
- Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5
- HP Chromebook x360 14c
If you are not sure whether you need a Chromebook Plus device, it is important to consider your needs and budget. If you are primarily using your Chromebook for basic tasks such as web browsing, email, and social media, then a standard Chromebook may be sufficient. However, if you need a Chromebook with more power and features, then a Chromebook Plus device may be a better choice.
What is Chromebook used for?
Chromebooks are ideal for web browsing, as they run Chrome OS, which is based on the Chrome web browser. This means that you can access all of your favourite websites and apps such as streaming movies and TV shows, listening to music, check your email, access social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Chromebooks can be used for basic productivity tasks such as word processing, spread sheeting, and presentation creation. Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides are all available on the Chrome Web Store, so you can create and edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations without having to install any additional software.
It is important to note that Chromebooks are not suitable for all users. If you need a computer for demanding tasks such as video editing, gaming, or running professional software, then a Chromebook is not the right choice for you. However, if you are looking for a basic computer for everyday tasks, then a Chromebook is a great option.

- Lower-end processors: Chromebooks typically use lower-end processors than Windows or macOS laptops.
