Synopsis

My Google Chromebook brings together all the expert advice and easy, step-by-step know-how you'll need to make the most of your new Google Chromebook -in no time! Chromebooks are laptop computers that are entirely based on Google Chrome OS, cloud-based OS that is a radical departure from traditional Windows and Mac OSes.
