Chromebook Preview for Chrome OS
Riding the dematerialization, the Chromebook to revolutionize the computing market by offering a 100% Cloud offers. The concept of host data and applications on the Internet is attractive, but many point the finger at the problems associated with the absence of off-line functions. The Chromebook Is the computer of the future? We tested the unit for a few days to try to answer this question.

Therefore, the material power is no longer a factor and you can access your stored data from any computer simply by logging into your storage space (your Cloud so). It remains to be confidence in the reliability of Google‘s servers (data loss, hacking, etc.). And to be sure of his connection!
