With more and more laptop computer manufacturers from Toshiba, Lenovo to Acer, Asus and Samsung wanting to get in on the fray, Google Chromebooks are quickly becoming the next important evolution in what a laptop computer is.<\/p>\n

Top 5 reasons why Chromebooks are becoming the next big thing<\/h3>\n

1. The Price. Come on<\/big><\/p>\n

Considering the average price of a Chromebook is more than half as much as an iPad and even less than a Nexus 7 in some cases, you won\u2019t find a computer out there with this much bang for the buck. Most people don\u2019t go very far beyond their Chrome browser window in their day-to-day computer use anyway, so why spend a thousands bucks on the power of an ultrabook that you\u2019ll never use?<\/p>\n

2. Fantastic Laptop Battery Life<\/big><\/p>\n

What Chromebooks lack in specs, they make up for in battery life. Because many of the newest Chromebooks run Intel\u2019s Haswell chip set, battery life for newer models are upwards of 8 or 9 hours\u2014that\u2019s a full day and more<\/strong>! The lightness of the operating system really allow Chromebooks to fully utilize the tech that they do have, making for an overall lightweight experience that doesn\u2019t compromise when it comes to HP business notebook 6730s battery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Multitasking, typing and workflow management on tablets isn\u2019t quite there yet<\/big><\/p>\n

Despite how much Apple would love to convince you otherwise, the iPad is still not a fully functioning work machine. Yes, you can check email, browse the web, and a lot of other stuff through third-party apps. But when it comes to getting some serious work done, most people like to have a full size keyboard, a larger screen, and a less limited operating system at their disposal. Laptops might be ruled out someday, but that day has definitely not come yet.<\/p>\n

4. Lightweight and Elegant Design<\/big><\/p>\n

While they don\u2019t have the substance of something like a Apple MacBook Air or a Lenovo ThinkPad, some of these Chromebooks are surprisingly well designed. While most of them tend to take a lot of inspiration from the aforementioned MacBook Air, they still often end up feeling unique in their own way. The designs tend to stands out from the look of Windows ultrabooks by focusing on simple lines and minimalistic, but sturdy materials.<\/p>\n

5. A Clutter-Free, Distractionless Work Environment<\/big><\/p>\n

Sometimes limitations are the best environments for great, creative work. While you won\u2019t be able to use Photoshop or Pro Tools on your Chromebook, the software limitations of these devices can really be good for those who are easily distracted. The best news is that with more apps and updates to the OS coming, things will only get more refined from here are out. That\u2019s why when it comes to hammering through emails or writing something I\u2019ve been putting off, there is just no other device I\u2019d rather work on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
