Is The Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 Good For Students? Why It Is & Isn't
Samsung's Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 is finally available for purchase in the U.S. The device is the 2-in-1 version of the Galaxy Chromebook 2 and was originally announced in U.K. in late March. Chromebooks are generally great options for students due to their ease-of-use and affordable pricing, and Samsung's latest Chromebook is no different.
Chromebooks are powered by Chrome OS, which is a lightweight, cloud-based operating system with a ton of impressive features. The platform gained support for Android apps in 2016 and Linux apps in 2018 but it also lacks some important features when compared to Windows and macOS. For example, Chrome OS doesn't have a 'Restart' option, which means users have to shut down their device and then turn it on again when they need to restart.
