Have you ever owned an HP before? Their computers are known to last, and this one is likely no exception. For under $100 youre getting a 14-inch screen [larger than the biggest screen option on a MacBook Air], an SSD [Solid State Drivethis is what you want as opposed to an HDD if youre going for long-term reliability], and Chrome OS. What does that mean?
So Chrome OS is based off Chrome [the best Internet browser that exists right now, thank you Google]. Although Chromebooks cant access as many software programs as Windows computers, they are undeniably more secure, offer more value at lower price points, are easier to use, and are simply a better choice for many users. Unless youre an advanced user that needs specific tools that are only available on Windows, a Chromebook is probably a better laptop for your needs.
Heres another reason why I suggest getting a Chromebook: at this price range, it would be hard to find a Windows or Mac with an SSD. SSDs are known for being more reliable and lasting longer than HDDs. But what are SSDs and HDDs? Do you want me to get geeky? Yes? Okay!
So SSDs are solid state drives, which quite literally means they are solid and contain no moving parts. Theyre basically just a ton of microchips clumped together. HDDs, or hard disk drives, are complex mechanical gadgets that write and store data. Platters, spindles, actuator arms, and a plethora of other complex mechanical components can be found inside an HDD. Moving parts are fun to look at, but when it comes to computers, you want to keep them at a minimum.
