Should You Get a Chromebook Or a Windows Laptop?

Before reading this blog post, I recommend reading " The Pros and Cons of Using a Chromebook ", which is figuring out the pros and cons based on my experience of using both! But now, I will look at it in more detail, and try to figure out what is best for most people, and find what computer is best for you based on what purpose you use it for! Please note that I can't choose one choice for everybody. So, first, let's look at home use. What if you just use your computer for watching TV shows and movies at night? Well, a Windows laptop would be overkill for what you are doing with your computer! If that's all you do, just buy a budget detachable Chromebook! Currently, your best option is a Lenovo Chromebook Duet with 64 gigabytes for $279 dollars! It unlaptops into a tablet, so you can always laptop it and do the occasional work-in-bed! Now, what if you play games a lot? Well, a Windows laptop is the best option, as Chromebook gaming isn't that popular with gam...

The Pros and Cons of Using a Chromebook

So, my computer habits keep on changing! From Summer 2018 to Christmas 2019, I used an Asus Chromebook C223. I'm not completely sure about that, but I went to the now-hidden Shop section of the Chromebook website, chose Laptop as the device type and Asus as the brand, and that one looked the most like the one I have. Here is the exact model ! Then, for Christmas 2019, I got the Acer Chromebook R11. The first blog post made with it was " Bloxels is really Fun! ", and the last is " Back to School, Virtually ". This is most likely the shortest-used computer that I have owned! Nowadays, the computer belongs to Philip, my brother. He never uses it, however. He mostly uses his iPad for everything. But, back to the Acer Chromebook R11. I used it until October 2020 when I got the Acer Spin 3, and then I used that until November 3, 2021 when I got the Pixelbook Go that I am typing this on right now! So, now we get to the name of this blog post. "The Pros and Cons of...

My New Computer (Acer Spin 3)

  So recently I got a new computer. So what are the differences? While, this laptop is a Windows laptop, which is new for me. This computer is an Acer Spin convertible, specifically an Acer Spin 3. One thing that this laptop has compared to my previous Chromebooks is that it has a Caps Lock key. So what is in this laptop? This has an Intel Iris Plus graphics card paired with an Intel Core i5 10th Gen processor, along with 8 gigabytes of RAM (memory) and 512 gigabytes of storage. WAY more than I need. So should you get it? Yes. Now, when should you get it? Your choice. You can get it now, or get it when it is not an outside vendor. And I forgot to say, it comes with a stylus. So how many stars do I rate it? 5 stars. And there is also a backlit keyboard, but you can turn that on or off with the F8 key. And you will need to turn it on to turn it off. But overall, the Acer Spin 3 is a good laptop. I recommend this laptop to anyone who needs a good Windows laptop. To actu...
