What is a Chromebook and why buy one instead of a traditional PC
by Emanuele Capone
Asus, among the main producers of these very original notebooks, evidently wants to take advantage of this moment and try to expand the market downwards. Intended as towards children: the C204, which costs 269 euros and is designed to withstand knocks, bumps, drops and spills of liquids without being damaged. Not only that: built to surpass military-grade strength standard Mil-Std-810G, can survive drops of up to one meter and twenty (more than the average height of a desk) and has all the outer edges and corners protected by a kind of rubber bumper, which reduces the impact of bumps to ensure that the internal components are always safe.
With 11.6 inch HD display and Intel Celeron N4020 processor, the Asus Chromebook C204 also seems absolutely suitable for distance learning (even for less disciplined students) and somehow follows in the footsteps of One Laptop per Child project, born in 2005 from an idea of Nicholas Negroponte to create inexpensive, very resistant and very simple computers to be sent to developing countries.
