Meet Chromebook

  • The better way to laptop

    With do-everything performance, unmatched security1 and the magic of Gemini to supercharge your ideas2, Chromebooks help you do less and accomplish more.

Google built in

Built for ease, the Google way

  • Help from Google – here, there, everywhere

    Chromebooks are designed by Google to help make everything easier – from instant setup to your go-to Google apps seamlessly integrated to help you get things done.

  • Instant setup with your Gmail

    Simply sign in with your Gmail account and find your files, photos and Chrome preferences all waiting for you.

  • Even better together

    Seamlessly move between tasks – and devices – when you use your Chromebook and Android phone together.

  • Leap back into action

    Get reoriented every time you log in with a visual overview of where you left off, along with helpful suggestions to get back into the groove.

    Find it in a flash

    Getting to the files you need is easy on Chromebook. Pin important ones to your home screen, search in the Files app, or get suggestions directly in the Launcher.

  • Google gets you there faster

    Built-in shortcuts to Google apps let you check your calendar, hop into a video call, or check off to-do's without opening another tab – or missing a beat.

    No Wi-Fi? No problem. Recent documents, spreadsheets, presentations and emails are available with offline access.10

Security

Stress-free security

  • Security so strong, it's never had a virus1

    With Chromebooks, there's no need to buy extra security software. Breathe easy knowing you're covered with built-in protection and the Titan C2 security chip.11

  • Secure to the core

    Stay safe with unmatched security. Google designed the Titan C2 security chip11 to protect your Chromebook from viruses, keep hackers at bay and prevent phishing attacks.

  • Help keep your family safer online

    With Family Link, you decide what's best for your family. Easy-to-use tools allow you to understand how your child is spending time on their device, share locations, manage privacy settings and more.13

  • Share your laptop, not your life

    Chromebooks can support multiple users while maintaining each person's privacy. Guest mode lets you share your Chromebook without sharing your login.

  • Secure from the start

    Every time your Chromebook starts up, it goes through Verified Boot – a rigorous and seamless security checkup in the background that prevents malware.

  • Layers of protection

    ChromeOS keeps software on your Chromebook separated with Sandboxing. So even if one part gets infected, the rest will stay safe.
