class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros_Of_Chromebooks_In_Education\"><\/span><strong>Pros Of Chromebooks In Education<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Affordable: <\/strong>Chromebooks are inexpensive and have a low maintenance cost. Chromebooks are less expensive than other laptops, like an iPad or a MAC. They can be up to 50% cheaper for schools to obtain than standard laptops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lightweight and Compact: <\/strong>Chromebooks are craftily designed to appear compact and portable. Also, due to their low power supply units and limited internal systems, the device is thus thin and may not be easily noticed when placed and carried in backpacks and suitcases.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Long-lasting Battery Life: <\/strong>This feature of Chromebooks is the most beneficial. When fully charged, the Chromebook can last for up to 9 hours. Chromebooks have durable batteries because of the limited load on the central unit. You are battery-covered using a fully powered Chromebook rather than a regular laptop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Google Support and Security:<\/strong> Here\u2019s an added advantage of Chromebooks. This feature keeps your Chromebook up to date. OS and App updates are executed automatically whenever you connect to the Internet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Google Apps for Education:<\/strong> The Chromebook utilizes Google Apps for Education, a free suite of online apps that comprise word processors, documents, and presentations. The app also allows teachers to create and share lessons, assignments, and term papers with students and their parents.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons_Of_Chromebooks_In_Education\"><\/span><strong>Cons Of Chromebooks In Education<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Limited Storage Capacity:<\/strong> Chromebooks have minimal storage compared to Windows, with an internal storage capacity of just 32GB. Thus, anything else besides text documents and images is considered too much information.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Offline Limitations: <\/strong>Chromebook usage is grossly limited since Chrome OS is mainly cloud and Web-based. As a result, many of its applications may not be functional when used offline without an Internet connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Printing Difficulties:<\/strong> Chromebooks utilize Google Cloud print technology to get your document printed with a printer. Thus, you are restricted from directly sending your document to a connected printer; your files will be sent to a cloud-ready printer via the Internet. Unlike regular laptops, there is no way to connect a Chromebook to a printer besides a cloud connection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Acer-Chromebook.jpg\" alt=\"Acer Chromebook\" class=\"wp-image-3250\" style=\"width:456px;height:342px\" width=\"456\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Acer-Chromebook.jpg 910w, https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Acer-Chromebook-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Acer-Chromebook-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_Of_Chromebook\"><\/span><strong>Benefits Of Chromebook&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as the Chromebook seems to possess one or two drawbacks, that doesn\u2019t entirely limit its functionality or instead reduces its value. Below are some of the fringe benefits of Chromebook;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Compatible and Lightweight,<\/strong> Chromebooks pose little or no difficulty moving around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ease of Usage:<\/strong> With Chromebook, you\u2019ll find no problems understanding the setup and its operation.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Updates Automatically: <\/strong>This benefit is a result of the Chromebook operating system. You don\u2019t have to worry about checking for software updates and installation; the Chromebook does that for you.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Durable Battery: <\/strong>With 7-9 hours of battery life, you\u2019ll spend much more time with the Chromebook.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inexpensiveness: <\/strong>Chromebooks generally are affordable and cost less than traditional Windows and MacBooks. It is easy to buy and maintain.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Efficiency,<\/strong> <strong>productivity<\/strong>, <strong>speed<\/strong>, and <strong>accuracy<\/strong> are often emphasized in the classroom, and there is also the time factor when students are assigned several tasks. Chromebook features of quick boot and battery life are handy when classwork is given.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Are_School_Chromebooks_So_Slow\"><\/span><strong>Why Are School Chromebooks So Slow?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chromebooks running slow can be caused by insufficient storage space, which is the #1 reason for low-performance output by Chromebooks. Another reason for this can be due to too many open tabs which are running at the same time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_A_Chromebook_Useless_Without_Internet\"><\/span><strong>Is A Chromebook Useless Without Internet?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, Chromebooks are not useless without the internet. Initially, when the Chrome OS first came into the limelight, it was all but useless without the internet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently, Chromebooks are no longer functionless without internet access; they operate offline with web apps able to function with or without the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Chromebooks_Slower_Than_Laptops\"><\/span><strong>Are Chromebooks Slower Than Laptops?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chromebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chromebooks<\/a> are not slower than laptops, and the Chromebook operating system runs faster than Windows and MacBooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span><strong>FAQ<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1654006791660\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Do_School_Chromebooks_Block_Everything\"><\/span><strong>Why Do School Chromebooks Block Everything?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>To restrict access to certain features and content usage.
