Chromebook and devices that run Chrome OS have been running long since the beginning of the platform. Although they are still more at home in the education sector, this device becomes more useful for all types of computer users, whether they do work, have fun, or just be productive. Unfortunately, Chromebook still has a lack of laptop stigma that runs a glorified web browser and many still think they cannot be used for serious work outside of documents, spreadsheets, and video chat. To improve that, Google has announced the upcoming features and new applications that can help change the misunderstanding, converting Chromebook into a portable workstation that is more beneficial for students, office workers, creative, and everyone of them.
The idea behind Chromebook and Chrome OS looks quite simple. Most people today mostly live in their browser, especially students and office workers who already use web -based services or easily switch to web applications. Considering how few hardware resources are needed to run this web application, the earliest Chromebook is indeed less powerful and therefore cheap, making it more attractive to schools and entrepreneurs.
However, today, high -class Chromebooks can provide laptops for their money in terms of hardware, and Chrome OS now supports running Android applications and Linux software outside the box. They can be used for almost everything you use for laptops, including playing games thanks to Google Stadia, as long as there are applications available for these activities. Admittedly, the platform may lack several applications in that regard, but Google took the next step to fill the gap.
Productive and creative chromebook
Starting this fall, Google Photos will feature default and more sophisticated video editors, and will debut the first on Chromebook. Although clearly not at the same level as a professional filmmaker, this feature will still allow users to mix videos, photos and music without sweating. And for those who need more advanced video editing strength, Lumafusion will soon come to Chromebook (and Android).
For less artistic efforts, Google tempts future updates for applications that have been installed on Chromebooks that can help make users more productive, no matter to walk in their lives. The association may be somewhat confusing at first, but the gallery will soon have a more capable PDF performer that will allow users to edit documents, fill in forms, make annotations, or even sign a contract without having to install other applications. Teachers and presenters will also be able to use the screencast application to record and share transcribed videos, take some pain from class and virtual meetings. There is also a young chair application that will allow you to make handwriting notes, as long as your chromebook supports stylus, of course.
Google also reminded users of the future features announced earlier. They may sound insignificant, but the ability to choose a dark theme, set your window into a virtual desktop, and see your schedule at a glance, far more productive when using the Chromebook book. More importantly, these features are increasingly narrowing the gap with Windows and Mac, helping Chrome OS finally get recognition as a decent serious work OS.
