THE BEST CHROMEBOOKS FOR KIDS

It is no doubt that kids love tech, and they always want to have what their friends have. So when you have a child, it is important to get used to constant requests for new technology. Chromebooks for kids can be useful for schoolwork, and your kids may not have to use your laptop or desktop computer all the time. Chromebooks are the smaller, lighter, and cheaper versions of laptops; thus, they are easier to carry around. 

Furthermore, Chromebooks use Google Docs and Google Drive, and these back up to the cloud. So, if the Chromebook breaks or your kids leaves theirs somewhere, they can still access their files via the web. When your child uses Google Docs on the Chromebook, it saves automatically, so no worries even when your child forgets to save. 

In addition, parental controls are a little different on Chromebooks for kids, but it is still easy to protect your child from unsuitable content. Child’s age, RAM and Storage, weight, portability, durability, versatility, battery life, budget, screen size, purpose, and types of ports are factors to consider before purchasing chromebooks for kids. Here are the best 5 Chromebooks for kids available on the market.
