Chromebooks
Cloud-based school laptops
Chromebooks are laptop computers running Google's Chrome operating system, designed primarily for web-based applications and cloud storage.
They're typically inexpensive, boot quickly, and require less processing power than traditional laptops: The school district issued Chromebooks to all students.
Most functionality depends on internet connectivity, though some apps work offline.
