Chromebook User Guide

A Chromebook is a laptop that runs Chrome OS instead of Windows or Mac OS. It is cloud-based so programs and files are stored online rather than locally. You need a Google account to log in and use the Chromebook. Logging in with a personal Gmail account provides additional access to apps through the Google Play Store, including Microsoft Office. Key benefits of a Chromebook include saved settings that sync across devices, access to files from any internet-connected computer through the cloud, and the ability to use as a laptop or tablet.

What is a Chromebook?
A Chromebook is a laptop running
Chrome OS instead of running
Microsoft Windows or Mac OS

What are the main differences?

A Chromebook is similar to a tablet in that:


• Almost everything is cloud based
• Programs run off of apps similar to those
on your smart phone

You have to login with a google email address


• Your @mail.weber or @weber account will work
• Or you can use your personal Gmail account
• *Using your personal account gives you access to the
Google Play store
• The google play store provides more apps, including
Microsoft Office

Because it’s cloud-based, the Chromebook


will save your settings and preferences!

What are the benefits?

1. Unlike our other lab machines, your


customized settings will be saved

2. Everything is in the cloud, which means


you won’t lose your work

3. You can login with your Weber email


address, or a personal Gmail account

4.Our Chromebooks are touchscreen and


can be used as a tablet

can now use Android apps from the
google play store on a Chromebook.

you would on a PC: writing papers in
docs or word, printing, etc.
