(Google)很长一段时间以来，谷歌一直在提供传统Windows PC 和 Mac的替代品。(Windows PCs and Macs)它被称为Chrome OS，它是围绕Google Chrome网络浏览器构建的操作系统。(operating system)Chrome 操作系统(Chrome OS)快速、简单且易于使用。为了使它更好，它在廉价硬件上运行良好。我们过去没有使用过Chrome OS设备，但我们最近开始这样做了，我们喜欢它。以下是我们考虑在家中使用Chrome OS设备的原因：
1. Chrome OS 非常简单
Chrome OS 操作系统(operating system)旨在运行Google的(Google)网络浏览(web browser)器Chrome。Chrome OS中的一切都是围绕Google Chrome构建的，这意味着一切都很简单。您在Chrome 操作系统(Chrome OS)上使用的大多数应用程序要么是基于网络的，要么是来自Play 商店(Play Store)的应用程序。与我们在Windows上使用的软件相比， (Windows)Chrome OS中的应用程序更直接、更易于安装和使用。甚至Chrome OS提供的用户界面也比(user interface)Windows领先数年简而言之。你只需要一个桌面、一个任务栏和几个按钮来控制通知或WiFi连接等内容。
2. Chrome 操作系统速度很快
Chrome OS是您所说的准系统操作系统，这意味着低硬件资源消耗。换句话说，它不需要大量的处理能力来完成它的工作，这意味着即使在较慢的硬件上它也很快。您可以在配备低端赛扬处理器(Celeron processor)和仅 4 GB RAM的计算机上轻松使用它。
3. Chrome OS 通俗易懂
如果您已经使用Android 智能手机(Android smartphone)，那么使用Chrome OS很容易。该操作系统(operating system)的外观和工作方式与Android非常相似，可用的设置与您的Android 智能手机(Android smartphone)上的设置相同。更改显示语言或连接(display language or connect)到无线网络(wireless network)非常容易，以至于您可能会觉得Windows过时且已弃用。
4. Chrome OS 具有弹性
因为它可以做所有它被设计做的事情，使用新的和强大的硬件，但也使用旧的和更慢的硬件，Chrome OS也很有弹性。您可以为自己购买一台使用了几年的Chromebook或ChromeBox ，并且仍然可以使用它完成工作，而不会出现卡顿或滞后的情况。(ChromeBox)如果您购买了全新的Chrome OS设备，您可以预期它至少可以在 5 年内正常运行。在我们看来，这是一项很好的投资。
5.您的所有数据都同步到云端
您在Chrome OS中所做的一切都会同步到Google的云服务。不仅您的应用程序而且您的数据始终在线。您的所有文档、电子表格、照片、视频或音乐始终保持同步，因此您不会丢失它。即使您的Chromebook被盗或ChromeBox 坏了(ChromeBox breaks)，您的数据在云中也是安全的。
6. 您可以访问 Play 商店
Chrome OS设备包括访问Google的Play 商店(Play Store)。如果您已经使用过Android 智能手机(Android smartphone)，这意味着您无需学习任何新知识即可获得您喜欢的应用程序。智能手机上的Play 商店(Play Store)界面与Chrome OS 设备(Chrome OS device)上的界面相同。此外，可用于Chrome 操作系统(Chrome OS)的应用程序数量众多，可以满足您的所有需求。有用于生产力、娱乐、学习的应用程序，甚至还有大量可以玩的游戏。有什么不喜欢的？
7. 更新在后台完成
(Chrome OS)与Windows(Windows)相比，Chrome OS将操作系统(operating system)更新体验提升到了一个全新的水平。在Windows 10中，我们习惯了长时间且永无止境的更新，甚至可能需要几个小时才能完成。这意味着失去的时间永远不会回来。但是，Chrome 操作系统(Chrome OS download)会在后台下载并安装其所有更新，并且只会告诉您它们已准备好应用。您不必等待Chrome 操作系统设备(Chrome OS device)安装它们，也不必推迟它们。你的时间就是你的时间，Chrome OS尊重它！
8. 开机速度惊人
Chrome OS不仅在您使用它时速度很快，而且在您的Chromebook 或 ChromeBox(Chromebook or ChromeBox)上加载时也很快。它是一个相当简单的操作系统，并且优化得非常好，因此与其他操作系统相比，它本身的加载速度很快。根据我们的经验，Chrome OS加载时间不到 15 秒，即使它没有强大的硬件可供使用。
9.快速为Chrome 操作系统配置(Chrome OS)用户帐户(user account)
要在Chrome OS中设置您的用户帐户，您只需使用您的Google 帐户(Google account)登录，等待您的应用程序下载和安装，然后开始工作。由于您的所有数据都存储在云中，因此几乎可以立即设置所有内容。与在Windows PC(Windows PC)上创建用户帐户和安装所需的所有软件所需的时间相比，Chrome OS快得多。
10. 使用Chrome OS的设备通常非常实惠
Google与硬件制造商合作，以保持(Google)Chrome OS设备的低价。考虑到操作系统(operating system)是免费的，而且它不需要高端硬件也能很好地运行，这意味着Chromebook(Chromebooks)和ChromeBoxes等(ChromeBoxes)Chrome OS设备比Windows PC 或笔记本电脑(Windows PCs or laptops)便宜很多。用户喜欢Chrome OS(Chrome OS)设备具有竞争力的价格，我们也喜欢。毕竟，口袋里有更多的钱总是好的，对吧？

10 great things about Chrome OS, Chromebooks, and Chromeboxes
Google has offered an alternative to traditional Windows PCs and Macs, for quite a while now. It is called Chrome OS, and it is аn operating system built around the Google Chrome web browser. Chrome OS is fast, simple and easy to use. To make it even better, it works well on cheap hardware. We have not used Chromе OS devices in the past, but we recently started doing so, and we like it. Here are the reasonѕ why we consider using Chromе OS devices in our homes:
1. Chrome OS is very simple
The Chrome OS operating system is designed to run Google's web browser, Chrome. Everything in Chrome OS is built around Google Chrome, and that means everything is simple. Most of the apps you use on Chrome OS are either web-based or apps from the Play Store. Compared to the software that we use on Windows, the apps in Chrome OS are more straightforward, easier to install and work with. Even the user interface offered by Chrome OS is years ahead of Windows in simplicity. You only get a desktop, a taskbar and a few buttons to control things like notifications or WiFi connections.
2. Chrome OS is fast
Chrome OS is what you would call a barebones operating system, and that translates to low hardware resources consumption. In other words, it does not need a lot of processing power to do its job, and that means it is fast even on slower hardware. You can use it with ease on computers with low-end Celeron processor and just 4 GB of RAM.
3. Chrome OS is easy to understand
If you already use an Android smartphone, getting used with Chrome OS is easy. The operating system looks and works much like Android, and the settings available are just like those on your Android smartphone. It is so easy to change the display language or connect to a wireless network, that you might feel that Windows is old and deprecated.
4. Chrome OS is resilient
Because it can do everything it is designed to do, using new and powerful hardware but also old and slower hardware, Chrome OS is also resilient. You can get yourself a Chromebook or a ChromeBox that is a few years old and still get the job done with it, without stuttering or lags. If you buy a brand new device with Chrome OS, you can expect it to work well for at least 5 years from now. That is a good investment in our opinion.
5. All your data is synced to the cloud
Everything you do in Chrome OS is synced to Google's cloud services. Not just your apps but also your data are always online. All your documents, spreadsheets, photos, videos, or music are always synced, so you cannot lose it. Even if your Chromebook is stolen or your ChromeBox breaks, your data is safe in the cloud.
6. You get access to the Play Store
Chrome OS devices include access to Google's Play Store. If you already used an Android smartphone, it means that you do not have to learn anything new to get your favorite apps. The interface of the Play Store is the same on your smartphone as it is on your Chrome OS device. Furthermore, the number of apps available for Chrome OS is vast and covers every need you may have. There are apps for productivity, for entertainment, for learning and there are even tons of games you can play. What is not to like?
7. Updates are done in the background
Chrome OS takes the operating system updates experience to a whole other level compared to Windows. In Windows 10 we are accustomed to long and never-ending updates that can take even a few hours to complete. That means time lost that you never get back. However, Chrome OS download and installs all its updates in the background and only tells you that they are ready to be applied. You do not have to wait for your Chrome OS device to install them, and you do not have to postpone them. Your time is your time, and Chrome OS respects it!
8. Booting is amazingly fast
Chrome OS is fast not only when you are using it, but also when it loads on your Chromebook or ChromeBox. It is a rather simple operating system, and it is very well optimized, so loading itself is fast compared to other operating systems. In our experience, Chrome OS loads in less than 15 seconds, even if it does not have powerful hardware at its disposal.
9. Configuring your user account for Chrome OS is fast
All you have to do to get your user account set up in Chrome OS is to sign in using your Google account, wait for your apps to download and install, and start working. As all your data is stored in the cloud, everything is set up almost instantly. Compared to how much time you need to create a user account and install all the software you need on a Windows PC, Chrome OS is a lot faster.
10. Devices with Chrome OS are usually very affordable
Google collaborates with hardware manufacturers to keep prices low for devices with Chrome OS. Considering that the operating system is free and that it does not need high-end hardware to run well, this means that Chrome OS devices such as Chromebooks and ChromeBoxes are a lot cheaper than Windows PCs or laptops. Users love the competitive pricing of Chrome OS devices, and we do too. After all, more money in your pocket is always good, right?
Do you like Chrome OS?
We like Chrome OS, and we believe that it offers everything regular users need. This operating system is fast, reliable, easy to use. Also, you can do most of your work on it. The only reasons why you might still want a Windows PC are gaming or having to work with particular software that is not available in Chrome OS. However, for daily tasks like browsing the web, writing documents, social media, editing photos, or viewing movies, Chrome OS is doing an excellent job. Do you agree?
