(And, if you’re a Google Workspace customer, you have a 24/7 Google helpdesk at your disposal too). This is because by default, any updates to your Chromebook and the Google software you use on it are carried out regularly and automatically by Google. Second, because Chromebooks do not particularly rely on locally-run applications, there is less of a need for an IT department to install software. In particular, if you apply these sort of cost differentials across a large team’s computing requirements, you’re talking about saving a LOT of money (making Chromebooks a particularly attractive option for anyone starting a business). So, whether you’re an individual or a business, there are significant cost savings to be made by using Chromebooks. My mid-range Windows laptop cost four times as much as this without - when it comes to using Chrome and cloud-based software at least - being four times as good. (Ok, I picked it up in a sale, but you can definitely buy a perfectly usable Chromebook up for less than $300, as the screenshot above highlights). To illustrate this point, it’s worth mentioning that I’m typing this on a machine that cost me just $175.
