A Chromebook is a laptop of separate breed. Instead of windows 10 or MAC OS X, this book runs OS of google chrome. These things are made to be used primarily while connected to the internet. There are most of the documents in the cloud present. These are very fast and good working machines and they are used in all over the world. These machines are operated by google and are very efficient and perfect to use. Here are some of the ways by which you could make yourself a chrome book master.
Live in the Clouds
The Chromebook’s limited internal hard drive fills up fast, but there’s plenty of room for your data on the internet. Every Chromebook comes bundled with 100 GB of cloud storage space; just head over to any relevant site to activate the expansion. But why limit yourself to just one cloud? Dropbox, Box, and iCloud all offer Chrome OS apps through the Google Web Store as well and offer free storage options.
Get the Right Apps
The Chrome OS may not be able to run conventional standalone programs, but there’s an app for that. That is, while you won’t be able to use programs like Photoshop, Skype, or iTunes, Google offers several capable alternatives, many of which come pre-installed. And if you find any of these Google-branded apps to be lacking, the Web Store has a wide variety of superior third party offerings including the PIXLR image editor, Feedly, Evernote, and Pocket.
Take a Shortcut, Make a Shortcut
The Chromebook keyboard uses a condensed layout that can take some getting used to, but ultimately proves quite efficient. Instead of the conventional function (F1 – F12) keys running along the top row, you’ll find a series of hot keys that allow you to quickly cycle through your browsing history, reload active webpages, switch between open windows, and adjust both the sound and screen brightness levels.
And instead of the dedicated Page Up/Down or Home/End keys you’d find on a standard full-size board, Chromebooks use Ctrl+Alt+arrow keys to navigate within the page. You can find a comprehensive list of available shortcuts here—just be sure to bookmark the page (Ctrl+D) until you have them memorized. Or, if you prefer to make your own shortcuts, the Shortcut Manager extension allows you to assign custom keyboard shortcuts to virtually any Chromebook process.
Pick a Bigger Board
If you prefer to use a full-size keyboard or separate mouse instead, you can simply connect one via wired USB or Bluetooth connection. To activate the Bluetooth connectivity, click the lower right corner of the desktop (where the battery status icon resides) to open the settings submenu, click Enable Bluetooth, and follow the onscreen instructions to pair the devices. Wireless BT headphones, mics, and speakers can also be connected in this manner.
Print from Anywhere
Trying to print from a Chromebook can be an adventure seeing as how you can’t plug the printer directly to it. Instead you’ve got to use Google’s Cloud Print service to connect wirelessly to either a Cloud-enabled printer or a conventional one that’s wired to an Internet-connected PC or Mac.
The installation process for Cloud printers differs by manufacturer, though Google offers instructions for each of the major brands here. If you’re using a wired printer, on the other hand, you’ll have to first install Chrome on the computer that it’s connected to, then select Add Printers from the browser’s Advanced Settings menu (it’s found in the three-line icon in the upper right corner of the window).
Throw It on the Big Board
Aside from the Pixel’s HD gloriousness, most Chromebook displays are closer to good than great. But instead of squinting, why not hook up a desktop monitor? How you do so depends on the model of Chromebook you have. Pixels, for example, are equipped with an HDMI port to connect directly with HD monitors. The HP Chromebook 11, on the other hand, only sports a Slimline port and therefore requires a separately-sold HDMI-Slimport adapter. Be warned however, unless you are running port to port without conversion (i.e. HDMI to HDMI), the resolution will suffer. You might even consider picking up a Chromecast instead and mirroring your display onto a big screen.
Pairing and connecting with other BLUETOOTH devices:
Pairing is the process required to create a link between BLUETOOTH devices to allow wireless connection.
You must pair a device with the headset to be able to make a BLUETOOTH connection for the first time.
Before you start pairing operation, make sure that:
*The BLUETOOTH device is placed within 1 m (3 feet) of the headset.
*The headset is charged sufficiently.
*The operating instructions of the BLUETOOTH device is on hand.
*Enter pairing mode on this headset.
When you pair the headset with a device for the first time after you bought it, or after you initialized the headset (the headset has no pairing information), press and hold the POWER button for about 2 seconds when the headset is turned off. The headset enters pairing mode automatically.
When you pair a 2nd or subsequent device (the headset has pairing information for other devices), press and hold the POWER button for about 7 seconds.
Make sure that the indicator flashes blue and red alternately after you release the button.
Perform the pairing procedure on the BLUETOOTH device to search for this headset.
[MDR-XB950BT] will be displayed on the list of detected devices on the screen of the BLUETOOTH device. If not displayed, repeat from step 1.
Select [MDR-XB950BT].
If passkey (*) input is required on the display of the BLUETOOTH device, input “0000.”
* A Passkey may be called a “Passcode,” a “PIN code,” or a “Password.”
Make the BLUETOOTH connection from the BLUETOOTH device.
Depending on the BLUETOOTH device, the headset may be connected with the device automatically as soon as they are paired.
