Google Chromebook Specs and Price Review: Should Your Next Laptop Be a $250 Google Chromebook? Best Buy and Walmart Think So [VIDEO]

The new Google Chromebook could be a breath of fresh air for customers in the market for a new laptop. The Google Chromebook starts at $250 dollars and has impressive specs for a laptop that ONLY runs the Google Chrome browser. There is an almost limitless sea of personal laptops on the market right now for consumers to choose from, and they are all very similar in specs and price. Perhaps the Google Chromebook will cut through the mix with a combination of brand recognition and value for price.

Joanna Stern from ABCNews.com wrote, "There's really no learning how to use a Chromebook - if you know how to use a browser, you're all good. No need to teach om or dad how to get back to the desktop or find app, everything - email, Facebook, news websites - is just a Web address away. While it is mostly a browser, Google has built in some tricks, including pinning your favorite Web apps to the bottom left-hand corner. While you can't run Microsoft Word on a Chromebook, Google's suite of apps, including Google Docs and Google Sheets, are easy to pick up and let you open .doc and.xls files."

The bottom line is that if you simply want to run Chrome on an affordable, highly efficient laptop, then the Google Chromebook is for you. This is not a gaming laptop and you won't get much entertainment out of it aside from surfing the web, but it is very specialized, which is nice in a market full of laptops that claim to be able to do everything.
