Andrew | The chrome operating system on these devices is nothing like windows or others.
Chromebooks are not laptops , they have very limited functions except surfing the web .
Chrome operates on a cloud system , this means very little info is stored on the device and most of your files are stored on the cloud or googles server if you prefer.
So you save a picture for example - its not on your device its stored on googles server .
The cloud system has been hacked many times where people can get hold of everything you would normally store on a laptop including email details passwords , accounts , pictures , files , the list goes on.
The operating system on these books also updates on a regular basis where google collect info from the device.
Also there is reports when switching user accounts the browsers never shut down and remain active which causes links on users accounts .
So all in all if you want google to see everything you type and everything you view and then store it on a server they actually offer prizes to hackers to try and attack then this is the operating system for you.
Personally i would not touch them with a sh1tty stick.
