shmed··on Low-end laptops:The rise of the Chromebook
A cheap Windows RT tablet/laptop can do this too. Plus, you can even use the RT device without internet (since it has more than a couple decent off line apps).
shmed··on Low-end laptops:The rise of the Chromebook
I have a hard time understanding why Chromebooks are getting so much praise over the internet, but at the same time Windows RT is considered as the worst piece of technology ever invented. Aren't they mostly the same thing? Both Windows RT and ChromeOS machines are similarly priced, both can be used to browse the internet and access web apps. Windows RT machine usually ship with Office 2013 for free (or the light version of it). They all have touch screens ( I dont think all Chromebooks machine have it). And last time I checked, android apps didnt work natively on Chromebooks, meaning that Windows RT machine have access to more applications than Chromebooks. This will probably be a very unpopular opinion, but I really don't understand why one is so popular vs the other (is it only explicable by the fact that most people hate Microsoft, but love Google?)
