Chromebook Basics
Cheap, fast, simple computer.
1. Why Chromebook
$200-400. Fast. Auto-updates. Hard for viruses to attack.
2. Sign in with Google
Same Google account on phone and laptop. Email, photos, docs sync automatically.
3. Bigger text
Hold Ctrl + plus key. Repeats — text gets bigger each press.
4. Print
Ctrl + P. Pick the printer. Same as any computer.
5. No installs needed
Most things run in Chrome browser. Few apps to install or update manually.
6. Backups automatic
Files save to Google Drive. Even if Chromebook breaks, files are safe.
Great choice if your main use is email, web, video calls. Skip if you need Microsoft Office.
