That is because it doesn't have a Windows or Apple operating system to use as a software template. So, the Chromebook is more similar to a tablet than it is to a laptop. Some people recommend an inexpensive Chromebook to use exclusively for financial transactions because you don't need to worry about getting a virus or having your data stolen.

Retireguy123, your explanation helped a lot. All I really do is read emails, send text messages & do some banking & read some newspapers I’m interested in. So a IPad or Chromebook will work for me & save me a little bit of money. Thanks for your input on comparison!
