Best Chromebooks for Students in 2019

Dinesh Vishwakarma

Microsoft Windows is ungainly. Aspple Macs are too expensive. But Chromebooks have everything most students will need.[br][br][br] [br][br]Google's Chrome operating system excels at the basics. It's great for getting stuff done like email, working in documents and spreadsheets and browsing the Internet. But it's also well-suited to entertainment tasks like watching movies, listening to music and browsing the Internet. And it's doubly true if you're already immersed in Google's ecosystem, which extends from apps such as Gmail and Google Docs to the Pixel phone or one of the company's smart home devices.[br][br]From my perspective, Chrome has two major advantages over the competition: It's free -- insofar as anything online is free -- and it's simple. In contrast, you'll need to shell out at least $1,199 to get a current-generation Apple laptop with its gold-standard MacOS operating system. And though you can get a very entry-level Dell or HP laptop for about $150, you're stuck with Windows and all of its licenses, patches, and updates. Blech![br][br][br]There are a handful of things that a Chromebook can't do, however. You can't install Photoshop, Steam or any other Windows or Mac-dependent application. You'll have to make do with Google's increasingly vast library of Android apps in addition to all of the online apps and services that run through your browser. But that shouldn't be too much of a sacrifice for most students.[br][br]Whether you're looking for an ultraportable, convertible or traditional laptop for a kid in elementary school or a college student, there are plenty of solid Chromebook options in the $200 to $300 price range and some exceptional ones that start between $500 and $600. Bottom line: Any one of the Chromebooks highlighted below should do the trick for most students.[br][br][br]Source: c|net
