Ready to try out a Chromebook? Use your knowledge of Windows to get a head start.

I’m very happy to say that @PKCano has successfully transferred JR Raphael’s series of Newsletter articles into a unified post, AskWoody Knowledge Base article AKB5000001.

JR Raphael (my favorite writer with Google DNA!) tackles the question in three parts:

Part I: Is the Chromebook right for you?
Part II: Which Chromebook should you buy?
Part III: You’ve got a Chromebook. Now what?

It’s an amazingly thorough introduction to Chromebooks, from a Windows user’s point of view.

If you’re tired of Windows and its incessant problems — and don’t mind Google keeping track of your every move, which they do — the Chromebook is an excellent choice. I use mine every day. It’s my 9-year-old’s number 1 computer.

Here’s a detailed look at what to expect from a Chromebook.
