Do you use your Chromebook for daily tasks?

You don't need a very powerful Chromebook for daily tasks. You can type reports or write an email on any Chromebook. Standard Chromebook models are a good option with a low budget. In addition, you need a less powerful processor for your daily tasks. Because you work with a light processor, your Chromebook boots quickly. You can only install apps from the Google Play Store, so you're better protected against viruses.

Do you also use your Chromebook as a tablet?

With a 2-in-1 Chromebook, you can also use your Chromebook as a tablet. Simply flip the touchscreen 360 degrees and make edits and notes on the screen. You can also easily play games on the screen. You can place the 2-in-1 Chromebook in different working modes. Put the Chromebook in presentation mode and watch your movie or series comfortably from your table, for example.

Do you want to watch movies and series?

If you often watch movies and series, a Chromebook with a Full HD screen is the best choice. This way, you can enjoy a sharper screen and see many details. Want to watch a movie or series more comfortably? We recommend a 2-1 Chromebook. This allows you to easily place your Chromebook in different positions, so you can enjoy your movie and watch comfortably. You can also completely fold the touchscreen, which allows you to use your Chromebook as a tablet.

Do you want a Chromebook for your studies?

Do you want to use your Chromebook for your studies? It's useful if it fits in your bag and isn't too heavy. That's why we recommend a Chromebook of up to 15 inches and 1.5kg. You can use this to work in files such as Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides. Prefer to use Microsoft Office programs? Work with the extensive online versions of Office. With a Chromebook with a touchscreen, you can also easily take quick notes on the screen.

Do you want to perform more demanding tasks?

With a Chromebook Plus, you can work in more demanding apps than with a normal Chromebook. These Chromebook models have a more powerful processor and more RAM, so you can switch between programs smoothly. In addition, these Chromebook models are faster and have higher quality than other Chromebook models. You can smoothly edit photos with apps from the Google Play Store or web versions of Adobe Photoshop, for example.
