Tech Week: Why a Chromebook is the best option for you

To Celebrate Tech Week (22nd-28th April), we are giving you a low down on why you should buy a Chromebook.

The Dell Chromebook 11 is our bestselling device. Many schools have switched to our Chromebooks and many members of the public have converted to the Dell.

Chromebooks are very powerful and prove as a worthy alternative to both a laptop and also a tablet.

Their lightness and ease of use makes them a very useful tool in everyday life. Below I will go through why Chromebooks are the perfect choice for you whether you are at home or in the classroom.

Chromebooks vs iPads

Many people compare Chromebooks to Tablets and iPads, due to their small size, portability and capabilities. But in many areas the Chromebook comes out on top.

Unlike the iPad, on the Chromebook you can set up multiple user accounts on the one Chromebook. Then when you sign in with your email your individual profile is loaded. This would be very useful in a school where more than one student or teacher might be using the same Chromebook.

The Dell Chromebook 11 comes with a physical keyboard unlike the iPad. This keyboard makes it easy to do work and perform tasks on your Chromebook.

The Chromebook also supports flash where the iPads do not, while also having the ability to open multiple tabs, where the iPad can only have one tab at a time.

At an amazing price of €159 the Chromebook comes in very cheap compared to the costlier iPad. And now for Tech Week (22nd-28th April), with the coupon code:techweekcb you can get 10% off the Dell Chromebook 11.

The storage in the Dell Chromebook 11 sits at 16GB SSD, but with the use of google drive to store all of your files, storage is never a problem with the Chromebook.

In many ways the Chromebook reigns supreme over the iPad and this is the reason why many people have chosen the Dell Chromebook 11 as their go to device.

Chromebook vs Windows Computers

Chromebooks again have a good few advantages over Windows PC’s and Laptops.

Large Laptops and big desktop PC’s are difficult to move and are not always very portable. With its slim compact body and its 11.6″ screen, the Dell Chromebook 11 is both more portable and lightweight than most Windows computers.

The Dell Chromebook 11 also has a very quick boot up time, faster than most Windows computers, with the boot up only taking a few seconds, so you can get to work straight away.

The Chromebook is also very easy to set up, as all you have to do is log into your google account and away you go, which a whole lot easier than the sometimes cumbersome Windows computers.

For schools, Chromebooks are a lot easier to manage for IT Departments, with their quick set up and simplicity, they are not very complex and should be a walk in the park for anyone setting them up.

Chromebook is a real contender to go up against the Windows PC, and in many areas, it turns up on top.

Great Price

Another major selling point is the great price of Chromebooks, with our bestseller the Dell Chromebook 11 being a steal at only €159,  when you use coupon code techweekcb just for tech week you can get a further 10% off that.

You really get your money’s worth for this and it is cheaper than most iPads and Windows Computers.

While being the lowest priced laptop on our website, it is the most sold and the most applauded for its great performance and many great uses, by both schools and by the general public.

We also from time to time have great deals for Schools only on our education offers page, with often being great deals on sets of Chromebooks with trolleys which are capable of holding multiple Chromebooks.

The great price is a great advantage to the Chromebook and it will hopefully entice you to go on and

Chromebook Cons & Alternatives

While I have been pumping up the Chromebooks as the best thing since sliced bread, they aren’t always for everyone.

Chromebooks, while they are very useful, they in some cases don’t replace a PC when it comes to specific specialist software which the Chromebook cannot run such as solid works.

Also, Chromebooks can sometimes have limited compatibility, with services such as Skype being not compatible with the Chromebook. Usually there will be an alternative for this provided, such as you can use google hangouts instead of the incompatible Skype.

iPads will also usually have potentially more applications as they have access to the app store which has millions of applications. But the Chromebook also has its fair share of applications.

So, if the Chromebooks aren’t for you, we have alternatives on offer.

We have a great range of iPads, with the great deals, with the compact iPad Mini 2 16GB for only €199 or the more powerful iPad Air 2 16GB now only €299, and for this week only use coupon code:techweekair2 to get 10% off the Air 2.

You could also choose the path of the Windows PC or Laptop.

For example, the great HP Probook 6475b Laptop with AMD A4, 4GB RAM and 320GB Hard Drive now only €199.

Or our great HP Compaq 8300 Elite SFF with Powerful Core i5, 4GB RAM and 320GB Hard Drive at the great price of €259 Or get the same HP Compaq 8300 in a bundle with monitor and keyboard/mouse from €309.

While these are all worthy competitors, we feel that the Chromebook comes out on top and should be first on your list when looking for the perfect device.

Our Bestseller the Dell Chromebook 11 never fails to impress any consumers and it won’t fail to impress you too. Whether you are from a school or you just want a new laptop, the Chromebook is the best option for you.

Google working with laptop manufacturers such as Dell have cooked up something special, and now’s your chance to get in on the action.

Don’t forget to use with the coupon code:techweekcb you can get 10% off the Dell Chromebook 11 for the week.

Happy Chromebooking!
