Chrome book I basically for browsing and it work just like Google pixel powered by Google. The only browser there is Google chrome. But since it is a gift I would prefer you don't sell it so as not to stop the person from giving you other things 3 Likes |

I did a small search on your behalf will post the link below this I would say the disadvantages first 1. Storage not really friendly for lots of graphic intensive work if you plan not to do more than word processing it’s the best for you but anything media related your storage won’t hold the highest you can get is like 32gig even with SD card but external may solve it but do you have USB? 2. Everything in the cloud even the printing so it will be tedious if your network is slow and not to forget the device might be slow sef 3. No Microsoft office you have to use their own processing software See more here https://www.techbout.com/disadvantages-of-chromebooks-69/ 2 Likes |

martineverest:Chromebooks are primarily designed for use while connected to the Internet. and signed in to a Google account. Instead of installing traditional applications such as word processing and instant messaging, users add web apps from the Chrome Web Store. It also Support many USB devices such as cameras, mice, external keyboards and flash drives is included |

Heywhizzy:Ha, ha very funny. I needed real people, in real-time, especially Nigerians to share their experiences. Thank you, Pansophist, Solasoulmusic, Aleeyus, Martineverest and Teewai3. So it's safe to say I can't use the Chromebook for photo and video editing, or programming? Did I mention it's HDDis annoyingly just 64Gb? 2 Likes |

Earthbound:except light editing with android apps...there is no Photoshop in chrome store.chromebook doesn't allow memory card and it's poor in cloud printing.....most Chromebook comes with 32 or 64gb.chromebook with SSD storage are very expensive like the pixel book and slate,which can't be found in nigeria.. Chromebook is also know as American children laptop as 80 percent Chromebook owners are American primary school pupils. that's the major reason it's called 'toy OS' u can't even Install programs on chrome os like u do with windows and MacBook in a nutshell, Chromebook is a device by Google to steal Ur data and sell it to advertisers 1 Like |

Chromebook is just like you having a laptop that you can only install Google Chrome browser on and every other thing it can take would have to be installed on the chrome browser as extensions. To make it clearer, It's basically having a "browser-only laptop" that you're not allowed to install any other things on. I have a chrome book and there was a time I had issues with my laptop and needed to run some installations. That's when I hated it. Some models accept android and Linus. I tried to install android but couldn't so I settled for Linus. Unfortunately, the Linux didn't work the way I expected so I had to restore it back to the chrome OS. This is not a suitable or recommendable laptop except you have another laptop. There are some good sides to it though |

Chrome book is only better in the sense that whatever you do automatically sync's with your account, so you can continue your work next time just by logging into your account in any system. Everything is based online. |

There is no advantage as long as you're in Nigeria. Unless of course you have a near infinite supply of internet. |
