HYPER unveils a trio of Google-certified Works With Chromebook USB-C products
When someone tells me that Chromebooks are only good for surfing the web, I have to do my best not to angrily laugh in their face. That opinion is just so ignorant and outdated. The truth is, Chromebooks run the excellent Chrome OS Linux distribution, which is more than capable for business, education, and personal use. You aren t limited to web apps either you can run many desktop Linux and Android apps nowadays. Oh, and Chrome OS is more secure than Windows 10 too.
Most new Chromebooks come with a USB-C port, letting you connect many great accessories, such as docks and dongles, to expand its usefulness. Yeah, you can even turn a Chromebook into a makeshift desktop by connecting a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. And now, HYPER has unveiled a trio of Google-certified Works With Chromebook USB-C products.

Samsung takes thin-and-light laptops to a whole new level with the Galaxy Book Pro 360. Available in either a 13-inch screen size or the 15-inch one we re looking at here, this 2-in-1 convertible laptop is among the most “ultra” of the ultraportable laptop category. Samsung manages to fit a roomy Super AMOLED touch screen, a 360-degree hinge, an 11th Generation Intel Core i7 processor, and unique software features into a laptop that weighs just 3 pounds. We haven’t finished testing our $1,499 review unit, but so far all signs point to this being the best Galaxy laptop yet.

Canalys researchers said that Google Chromebooks have now become a truly mainstream computer product. However, educational notebooks still account for the vast majority of shipments. Nevertheless, in the past year, the popularity of this notebook among ordinary consumers and business users has increased greatly. Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Lenovo dominated the Chromebook market before, but now Acer, Samsung, and other manufacturers have also launched similar products to gradually grab market share.
