Is this good for a college student?
I am going to college next year and I am looking for a laptop. My school just bought new chromebooks for the students, and I liked the system. I am concerned that this will system will not be compatible with my classes. Any suggestions?
Hi, I use the Chromebook for my college classes and have had no issues so far with it not being compatible with my classes. I use Google Docs in place of MS Word, Google Slides in place of MS Powerpoint, and Google Sheets in place of MS Excel. Also, Apache Open Office is available in the Chrome store for free which has everything you need if you dont want to use Google's.
I have also done some web design with the Chromebook as well and it works as well as a regular laptop running Windows OS.
It is very easy to take notes and keep them organized in Quick Note. Also Google Cloud is amazing. You have access to all your important stuff from anywhere with a net connection... you just have to log in. You also do not need any plug-ins to play from Cloud so this is especially nice if you accessing your papers from a different computer.
Will you be able to only bring the Chromebook every day to your classes and be okay? No, you still need to bring paper and a pen, etc. But the chromebook is a valuable tool for college and you will be soooo happy you have it.
Good Luck !
