A chromebook never gets a virus. Apple is very good at sending out an update when they find a virus, but, the point is someone has to get the virus first.
Chromebooks check the operating system when you first turn it on. If it's not what they left you with, they put you back one version and download a new version. You never even know this is happening as it all automatic and there is no waiting for downloads or updates.
I've used everything from PCs (including Apple II) to IBM mainframes, I now use the chromebook 99.9% of the time.
The Connected Villagers Club will be having a workshop at Eisenhower on Jan 15th 1-2. I will have a table for the chromebook, all villagers with an ID are welcome.
