I don’t know much about computers, but I knew I wanted a work computer that wouldn’t break the bank. This computer has been great for me for work. If you want to continue to keep the high security that this computer has, you won’t be able to use google chrome with it. You can use google chrome if you don’t mind having a little less security with your laptop. Very sturdy. I’ve accidentally dropped it a few time, on concrete, and it will works perfectly.
