Chrome OS is cloud-based operating system based on the Linux kernel and designed by Google which uses web-based applications.
Unlike a computer running Windows or OS X (Mac), most of the data is stored on a cloud instead of on a hard drive. Therefore, Chromebooks don't need as much internal memory as a computer running Windows or OS X.
This makes Chromebooks lighter and cheaper than most Windows laptops and also makes Chromebooks faster to boot up.
Devices running Chrome OS boot up in 10 seconds or less and wake from sleep mode in 3 seconds or less.
