Chromebooks
A Chromebook is not actually a computer in the traditional sense. Instead of having a computer operating system such as Windows or Mac, it runs Google's Chrome OS, which is basically the Internet. They are designed to be used primarily while connected to the Internet with most applications and documents living in the cloud.
