low-computer users. He learns quickly, you practically turn him on and get to

simplicity, it offers great security.
All updates are
done by Google and happen automatically.
Chrome browser
already has built-in virus protection features that it brings to this device.
Autonomy
The batteries of
classic models last for 7-8 hours, and we can already say that in some models
they exceed 11.
Price
This is one of the chief
ornaments of Chromebooks, you can find devices from 200 to 300 euros.
Application
restriction
Chromebooks,
despite being a capable computer, won't allow you to install some typical
Windows desktop applications like Photoshop, Spotify, Skype, Office.
All this has its
own solutions that you may like more or less, or the same applications, for
example, provide you with access in the cloud. Office 365 or Spotify, or you
can replace those apps with others from the Chrome Store.
In addition, companies are already working on adapting to the new operating system.
You may end up with a keyboard without ñ (for now)
This has a clear
solution, but it can be annoying.
Android Apps
While they should
all work fine on Chromebooks, some of them are not yet optimized.
Finally, I leave you a video with the characteristics of the Chromebook.
