Engadget: About a year after the debut of the first Android handset, Switched On discussed the threat that Chrome OS posed to Android. To reprise it briefly: Like chief rivals Apple and Microsoft, Google has two operating systems trying to bridge the rift between consumer electronics and traditional computing, but Chrome is different than Mac OS and Windows in an exceptionally important way.
One of the things in short supply during the pandemic is computer hardware. Everything from PC components and Macs to Chromebooks has been scarce, but what if you could turn an aging computer you already own into a Chromebook?
The company will also bring an update for Chrome OS-powered laptops in March 2021, along with the epic list of Chromebook's features
The bulk of these features could arrive as early as next month, with the most prominent arguably being the new built-in screen recording feature.
