The Chrome Book

Google is on to something here, but without a little luck, I would not have known about it. I now own 2 chrome books (one for my wife and one for me) and find the experience delightful. In trying to learn and become more productive with it, I have searched the web for how-to articles, etc. Quite by accident, I came across "The Chrome Book." It is well written, very informative, and a real good overview of the "operating system." It also treats some of the higher level uses.This was my best find yet, and one that I am buying as a reference book. I just hope Google keeps going with this concept with enhancements, improvements, and more advertising. Again, well written book and on target!

This is a great intro. to the subject of Chromebooks!

It's helping me decide if I want to take the plunge(I probably will).

Update(7/16/12): I took the plunge! I like my Samsung Chromebook(see my review) & this book was a big help to me!

After a month of owning my Chromebook, I still refer back to this book.

I have experience with almost every OS out there. I purchased Andriod and iPad, looking for the perfect flexible, easy to use PC replacement. No luck. Even a Bluetooth keyboard its not enough to replace the PC as a heavy typing/real work tool.

So I purchased a Samsung 5 550. I already used Google Apps extensively, and this was a natural extension.

CH Rome's book gave me a fantastic look into the concepts and methods of using ChromeOS, as well as a detailed step-by-step method for using it. It actually changed how I use computers. My 'My Documents" folder is now my Google Drive folder and I have file access from my PC, Chromebook, iPhone, iPad, and any PC I log into.

I use the Chromebook as the heavy typing tool now, as its so fast and easy to start and stop, and stay where I was. I use a wireless mouse with it, and it feels so comfortable! I could not have known all these capabilities were there without the book. I can honestly say that less than $6 and a few hours of reading changed a huge aspect of my life. Not many books can boast that claim.
