Eminyakeni embalwa eyedlule, ikhompyutha kanye nobuchwepheshe bathola indlela yokungena ohlelweni lwezemfundo lwaseMelika. Cishe kusukela ekwethulweni kwe-iPad yokuqala, eziningi bekuyizikhungo zemfundo ezibone le divayisi njenge ithuluzi elihle lokusiza abafundi nsuku zonke. Kepha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, intengo yazo yaqala ukubiza kakhulu futhi iGoogle yethula ama-laptops okuqala nge-ChromeOS, uhlelo olusebenzayo oluncane kakhulu, oludinga izici ezilula ukusebenza futhi konke lokhu ngentengo ephansi kune-iPad. Eminyakeni edlule, ama-Chromebook abe yipulatifomu esetshenziswa kakhulu ezikoleni zaseMelika, kepha lokhu kungashintsha maduzane.
Okwamanje I-ChromeOS uhlelo lwesibili olusetshenziswa kakhulu e-United States, ngemuva kweWindows nangaphambi kwe-macOS. IMicrosoft ifuna ukufaka ikhanda kulo mkhakha onenzuzo ngokwethula ama-laptops nge $ 189, ama-laptops anezici ezingaphezu kokwanele ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zabafundi abasebenzisa i-Chromebook njengamanje. Ngokusho kweMicrosoft, izikole zidinga amandla amakhulu, ukuphepha nokusebenza, ngentengo efanayo nama-Chromebook, amandla lawa madivayisi angatholi.
Ngakho-ke, emzameni ukuzidela, inkampani ifuna ukuletha ukufinyelela kubuchwepheshe bamuva kubasebenzisi abaningi ngangokunokwenzeka, enikeza ama-Windows 10 PC ukubasiza bafunde futhi bazuze okuningi. Abakhiqizi abafanayo ababheja ku-Chromebook (HP, Lenovo, Acer ...), bazophinda babheje ngalolu hlobo lwamakhompyutha ashibhile emkhakheni wezemfundo, amakhompyutha azoba nezindleko eziphezulu zama- $ 189, yize singathola futhi okuningi amadivayisi aphelele ngentengo engaphezudlwana.
Lawa malaptop azophathwa yi-2 noma i-4 GB ye-RAM futhi izophathwa ngabaprosesa bakwaCeleron abanesitoreji esinwebekayo ngokusebenzisa amakhadi we-MicroSD, isikrini esingu-12-intshi namanye amamodeli azophinde ahambisane nezikhonkwane zokubona ukuze akwazi ukuthatha amanothi ngqo kudivayisi ezophinde ibe nesikrini esijikelezayo ukuze ikhibhodi ingacasuli uma isetshenziselwa lesi sizathu.
Kepha abafana baseMicrosoft nabo bayahlela qalisa ipulatifomu efana nalena enikezwa i-Google njengamanje kumadivayisi ayo enzelwe indawo yezemfundo, ipulatifomu ekuvumela ukuthi ube nayo ngaso sonke isikhathinto ilawula izitshudeni, ibukeza futhi yengamele ukude umsebenzi, izivivinyo nokunye abasebenzi bezemfundo abangabanika zona.
