If you or a loved one needs a new computer, please stop what you're doing and answer two questions. How often do you end up playing tech support for them? Do they just use a browser and some games? If the answer to these questions is yes, let's save you a headache and a few hundred dollars by buying a good Chromebook rather than a mediocre Windows laptop.

I love Chromebooks. They re lightweight, but they still allow me to get all my work done securely. There are super-affordable Chromebooks and there are premium perfect Chromebooks, but they all deliver the same streamlined experience. They also use the same accessories no matter the price range thanks to the ubiquity of USB-C, a specification that allows us to have data input, power input, and video output all going on at the same time through one port when it s paired with a great USB-C hub or a docking station.
At least, this is what I d love to tell you, but because of that exact flexibility of USB-C and the various standards that use it and manufacturers that implement it on Chromebooks the actual experience of using a Chromebook docking station is far from rosy. In reality, you can spend $100 or even $300 on a docking station that should work perfectly with a Chromebook

While split-screening tabs on a Chromebook is as easy as
Alt + [ or ], why limit yourself to that when you can split them into two completely different windows? This makes it so much easier when referencing longer articles or expense sheets when writing homework or reports.
The increase in productivity that you can get from this kind of setup is reason enough to invest in a good external monitor. It s perfect if you re working from home for the foreseeable future, and it can even be beneficial for your kid so that they aren t stuck with just the 11.6-inch screen on their school-issued Chromebook. Yes, it s nice when you can have your screens all the same size, but I don t think your child will begrudge having a 20-inch or 24-inch monitor to spread out their notes on when studying or trying to rush a project at the last moment.
