Chrome OS

Chrome OS is Google's competitor to Microsoft's Windows and Apple's macOS (and later iPadOS). Most of Chrome OS’s market share is from schools. Most students prefer iPads, as they are recognized more by the kids, as they have it at home. Chrome OS is focused around the web, although it can run Android apps via the Google Play Store, Linux apps, Web apps, PWAs and its own platform, Chrome Apps. Chromebooks, Chromeboxes, Chromebases, and Chromebits run Chrome OS. Chromebooks are the competitor of MacBooks and iPads, Chromeboxes compete with the Mac mini, and Chromebases fight with the iMac. Chromebooks are considered minimalist for most people. High-end Chromebooks can soon run Windows. The only advantage of chromebooks over iPads in schools are the ports they have.
