Work and play with up to 12 hours on a single charge.* With Chromebook, you don’t even need to remember your charger.

SECURITY
With features like built-in virus protection and secure support for multiple users, Chromebook keeps you and your data protected.
ChromeOS keeps different software on your Chromebook separate with Sandboxing. So even if one part gets infected, the rest is designed to stay safe.
Every time your Chromebook starts up, it goes through Verified Boot — a rigorous and seamless security check-up in the background that prevents malware.
Protect your data. Every Chromebook includes a built-in security chip to encrypt your most sensitive data and keep it away from prying eyes. Know your Chromebook will stay safe.
Built-in virus protection defends your Chromebook from malware automatically. You can focus on what you need to do, instead of installing third-party security software.
Guest Mode allows you to share your Chromebook with friends without giving them access to your login. Guests won’t see any of the files saved in the other user accounts. And after logging out, their local history or files won’t be saved — by design.
In the rare event that something does go wrong, a fresh start is just a click away. With the powerwashing feature on your Chromebook, you can easily reset your device to factory settings and get rid of malware in the process.
Share your Chromebook without sharing what’s personal — a single Chromebook can support multiple users while maintaining each person’s privacy.
