Book Review: The Chrome Book
Most computer users have used Microsoft Windows and/or the Apple OS over the years. But the Samsung Chromebook operates quite differently. The Chromebook has virtually nothing inside it—no CD, no DVD, no Microsoft or Apple OS. It all runs on the Google Chrome OS that resides in the cloud. The Chrome Book is exactly the reference book any new Chromebook owner needs...

Book Review

The Chrome Book, by C.H. Rome

I obtained this book after having trouble using my new Samsung Chromebook 5 notebook. Nothing I tried worked, and I knew nothing about the Google operating system. I, like most computer users, have used Microsoft Windows and/or the Apple OS over the years. But the Samsung Chromebook 5 operates quite differently. The Chromebook has virtually nothing inside it—no CD, no DVD, no Microsoft or Apple OS. It all runs on the Google Chrome OS that resides in the cloud.
