Chromebooks are perfect for Seniors. Hopefully you are at a state in your life where the Internet helps you but doesn't define you. You don't need to have a powerhouse computer that can have 200 spreadsheets running at the same time or watching a movie while you have 100 other apps open! You just want a computer that lets you check up on things, and maybe stream a movie or to. In a word: something simple. If that sounds like you, then all you have to do is figure out how to use a Chromebook! Fortunately, if you've ever used the Internet, then that part will come pretty easy. This book will walk you through what you need to know so you can be up and running in no time. Ready? Let's get started!NOTE: This book is not endorsed by Alphabet, Inc.

If you've used any computer, then a Chromebook will be easy enough to use as soon as you open it up for the first time. If you really want to take advantage of all the features and be as productive as possible, then this guide will help. Let's get started!

If you are new to Google's mobile and computer operating system, then this book will teach you all you need to get started as quick as possible. This book is a bundle of the two bestselling books "The Ridiculously Simple Guide to Google Pixel Slate and Pixelbook" and "The Ridiculously Simple Guide to Pixel 3 and 3 XL"; you can buy them separately or buy them together to save.

In 2016, Google announced it was getting into the home assistant business with Google Home. The smart device allowed users to essentially have a computer controlled by their voice. Google was just getting started. In 2017, Google released two more devices: the Google Home Mini and Google Home Max. Finally, in 2018, Google announced that its smart speaker would get a whole lot more visual with the Google Home Hub. The Google Home Hub is a hybrid of two worlds--a device that works best with both your voice and by touch. The same voice commands as the non-touch Google Home's are there, but a screen gives it the extra touch you need to control things in your home like security cameras. It's original, powerful, and just a little weird! It's unlike anything you've ever used--not quite a tablet, not quite a voice assistant, not quite a computer--it's a Hub! Because it's a little weird, it takes some getting used to; this guide will walk you through what you need to know to get the most out of the powerful display. Ready to get started?!

In 2011, Google disrupted the computer industry when it introduced the Chromebook. The lightweight computers with small price tags were the perfect solution for schools already using Google's suite of free cloud-based tools (Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc). To the average professional, Chromebooks have been more of a novelty best suited for casual use. In 2013, Google tried to change this with the Chromebook Pixel--it's first higher end Chromebook. While most saw it as a worthy first effort, it was not largely viewed as ready for primetime. Google discontinued the Chromebook Pixel in 2017 and announced its successor in October of 2017: The Pixelbook. Everything about the successor proved that Google had learned from previous generation Chromebooks and was ready to seriously compete with the Windows Surface and Macbook. The hardware alone matched high-end Mac and Windows computers, but the software is where the Pixelbook really shines. In addition to Google Assistant, a Siri-like tool for productivity, the computer also is amongst the first Chromebooks to be able to run Android apps-combined with a convertible touchscreen, this means you can leave your tablet at home. For a better comparison of how the computer ranks against Windows and Mac, see Appendix A. In 2018, Google was at it again. This time their interest had shifted from hybrid laptop / tablet to full on tablet with the Google Pixel Slate. It seemed like a direct response to what Google sees as their biggest threat: the iPad and Microsoft Surface. If you've used any computer then both the Pixelbook and Slate will be easy enough to use as soon as you open it up for the first time. If you really want to take advantage of all the features and be as productive as possible, then this guide will help. Almost everything in this book will also apply to other Chromebooks.
