Recently, while reading a blog post from digital inspiration (labnol.org) about the Google Chromebook arriving in India, I realized that the author has many good points on why, or why not, buy a Google Chromebook.

Being one of the best-priced laptops around, at $240 and onwards, they have made their way to Amazon’s best selling laptops list. However, the chromebook only allows you to surf the web only.

One might ask, isn’t that the whole point of a laptop? Well, yes, the internet is a crucial part of a laptop, however, it has grown to be more than that. A laptop has many unique functions than their main purpose, such as Photoshop, talking through apps such as Skype and so on. If a laptop is tied to only being able to use the web, that is not a true experience one can gain from using a laptop.

Sure, the price range is great! If one were in need for an extra laptop due to school and such, the Chromebook is just what you need! But personally, I need a laptop that will be able to do whatever I need it to do efficiently. I would be willing to pay more, to get more of a bang from my buck.
