Yes, any computer that can run Chrome can do that too, but the lightweight nature of Google Chrome OS makes it a responsive and stable platform.Īs I mentioned before, Chrome OS can run Android apps, so if you’re an Android user you’ll find some nice ties between the platforms. As you might expect, they also work well with Google services like Photos, Docs, Gmail, Drive, Keep and so on. Browsing, streaming music and video and using various social media sites are among the most common daily tasks people do on Chromebooks. Between Android apps and a general improvement in web apps, Chromebooks are more than just a browser. For example, you can install the Netflix app and save videos for offline watching other Android apps like Microsoft Office and Adobe Lightroom are surprisingly capable. The quality varies widely, but it means you can do more with a Chromebook beyond just web-based apps. Google has also added support for Android apps on Chromebooks, which greatly expands the amount of software available.
Unless I need to edit photos for a review, I can do my entire job on a Chromebook. But there are also plenty of people who do the vast majority of their work in a browser. Not being able to install native software can be a dealbreaker if you’re, say, a video editor or software developer. Of course, the simplicity is also a major drawback for some users. There’s no bloatware or unwanted apps to uninstall like you often get on Windows laptops, it boots up in seconds, and you can completely reset to factory settings almost as quickly. If you didn’t know, it’s based on Google’s Chrome browser, which means most of the programs you can run are web based. For me, the simple and clean nature of Chrome OS is a big selling point. There are plenty of inexpensive Windows laptops on the market, so why bother with Chrome OS? Glad you asked. That’s probably the number one question about Chromebooks. Some tests, like black uniformity and color accuracy, may vary between individual units.What is Chrome OS, and why would I use it over Windows? If you come across a different configuration option not listed above, or you have a similar Acer Chromebook Spin 311 that doesn't correspond to our review, let us know, and we'll update it. Our display and performance results are only valid for the configuration that we tested. MediaTek MT8183 (4 performance cores, 4 efficiency cores, up to 2.0GHz).There are other models of the Chromebook Spin 311 with either an AMD or Intel CPU, but they're slightly different in design and aren't part of the CP311-3H series, so we consider them as entirely different models.
However, there's a model with a larger storage drive. The CPU, GPU, and memory aren't configurable. We tested the 11.6 inch Acer Chromebook Spin 311 (model CP311-3H-K23X) with a MediaTek MT8183 SoC, ARM Mali-G72 MP3 integrated graphics, 4GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage.
