You may spend time searching for furniture, for example, in the Urban Ladder or FabFournish app instead of searching on Google.

So what is the allure of these Google Chromebook laptops that they practically beat the most in-demand Apple’s Mac? Google’s Science Journal will also drive your investigative skills and even inspire you to “build a foundation of learning to explore on your own”. Access to Android apps will quell any doubts about what a Chromebook can do, and I bet we’re about to go through a fundamental shift in the way a lot of people use PCs because of it.
