I'm flippin' loving my Pixelbook. My son is loving his Chromebook. Using a desktop seems so ... unnecessary these days.
Most of our digital 'habits' are accomplished on our phones anyways, so something that needs more screen we're more apt to look at something mobile than a stationary piece of hardware.
It's for that reason we're really starting to see Chromebooks take off. A year ago I'd say to someone I'm using ChromeOS and they wouldn't know what that meant. Nowadays more people are familiar with and prefer it.
Asus, who makes some kickass hardware is jumping on this trend with 3 newer Chromebooks.
The Asus Chromebook C223 runs at $299 and is available at Best Buy:
Best of all, remember, is that Chromebooks run with Google Play Store and soon to have Linux support. So why do you need a traditional desktop or windows laptop anymore?
