Google's Chromebook: The Up's and Down's

The Google Chromebook, perhaps the most sought after netbook by the Education industry. Why might you ask? because it's cheap. The negative sides of this are that because of its hard drive capabilites you cannot download things other than what is on the chrome store. Also you cannot use the computer without wi-fi as it needs your email to log in. So it lacks on the go abilties, unlike most netbooks of the day. Its OS is simplistic and very similar to that of Microsoft Windows. Although the chromebook may be cheap it is also higly ineffective and not recommended.
