Conclusion

Google clarified the position of Chrome OS as an OS for specialized internet surfing devices, not personal computers. As an OS for a cloud device, Chrome OS gets straight to the point. You boot into the browser, and you start working. If you are spending most of the time online despite disadvantages, the operating systems we have reviewed should be quite useful.
