<center>https://www.theandroidsoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Google_chromebook.jpg</center> From CNet <hr> <blockquote> When the team behind Google's Chrome OS software and Chromebooks set out to reinvent the laptop, it quickly zeroed in on security as an area where it could bring a fresh perspective. "On Chrome OS, we were like, 'We control all the pieces. We can do better,'" Will Drewry, a principal software engineer for Google's devices, and one of the founding fathers of the Chromebook, said in an interview in January. The team wanted to build something that would fit this generation's needs, as well as address the rising crop of threats facing PCs. "Security was thought of very differently back then because there weren't as many security attack vectors that are out today," Kan Liu, Google's director of product management, said in the same interview. Liu and Drewry sent out a prototype unit, the CR-48, to security experts for feedback. The responses were surprising. "A lot of the early feedback was very detailed on things like, 'Hey, the trackpad is terrible,'" Liu said. There was hardly a peep when it came to security flaws. Nine years later, and Chromebooks are a smash success. Nearly three out of every five machines used in schools run the Chrome OS, according to researcher Futuresource Consulting. </blockquote> Read more: https://www.cnet.com/news/how-google-chromebooks-became-the-go-to-laptop-for-security-experts/ <hr> I recently bought a Chromebook made by Asus for travel and was extremely happy with the purchase. It was lightweight with a super long battery and able to keep me connected servers form the hotel room and provided entertainment on the plane. <h4>Leave your thoughts in the comments below.</h4> <hr> Follow @contentjunkie to stay up to date on more great posts like this one. <a href="https://steemit.com/@contentjunkie"><img src="http://i.imgsafe.org/dd8bd8753d.gif"></a> <hr> <center><h4><strong>Click one of the links below to signup for a free crypto trading account</strong></h4></center> <div class="pull-right"><a href="https://www.kucoin.com/#/?r=14rgy"><img src="https://steemitimages.com/DQmRxFEaTBZXepQoU6wzX3YxPUYg8zkMH5ecX67HXes6mtE/image.png"></a> </div> <div class="pull-left"><a href="https://www.coinbase.com/join/5a3060368da046013533d035"><img src="https://steemitimages.com/DQmQrb5MJgqbRqAabX7gMAKww7b2G7EWyCC3ALz3nuQR4xy/image.png"></a></div> <center> <a href="https://www.binance.com/?ref=13619930"><img src="https://steemitimages.com/DQmS8Y5PoVJenL4Qo3WhRg1YWJ9VGcQRhFKQNx8BLePx3iZ/image.png"></a> </center>
