Other Computing devices

ChromeBook

Chromebooks look like a laptop, but it is very lightweight and it is very easy to use. They are made by different manufacturers, but they all have one thing in common- they only use Chrome, which is a browser. A Chromebook is a great choice for people who use the web a lot and do their work through the web. Some have a very small amount of internal memory capability, but most storage is done in the Cloud. The Chromebook cannot sync directly with other devices. In other words, it can only share files between devices via a cloud service provided by Google. Chromebooks start at about $200 new.

Laptop

·         very expensive

·         less ergonomic than a desktop

·         easy to steal or loose

·         can over heat easily because it is a compact system

Laptops have nearly all the capabilities of desktop computers but they are totally portable. Some laptops are very thin and light, designed for students or business travelers. Mobile workstation class laptops are much heavier.  The battery life , price,size and standing hours are very less while look about tablets.

Desktop

·         large footprint

·         need keyboard, mouse and monitor

·         big and heavy

·         can be noisy

·         requires a separate monitor

·         probably without wireless connection

·         not portable , are the common drawbacks of Desktop computers over tablets
