I liked the hardware of the Samsung Series 5, with its slim, lightweight design, full-size keyboard and 12.1in display. Into this changing landscape came the strange idea of a laptop that required a permanent internet connection to do anything at all. This was a time when netbooks were a dominant feature of the budget PC market and the iPad had only just arrived the year before. I first encountered ChromeOS around 2011 when I reviewed the Samsung Chromebook Series 5, one of the first devices of its type to be released. 2011: Hello Chromebooks, goodbye netbooks #
So to accompany the birthday wishes, here’s my ten-year story of growing up with ChromeOS.
It’s been a long journey though, which hasn’t always run smooth. And this, along with the more affordable prices of some Chromebooks, is one of the main reasons people buy them. The company is marking the occasion by introducing some great new features (see below) which, along with various refinements to existing tools, make ChromeOS a powerful operating system that’s focused on simplicity and ease of use.
