The most important thing to check before buying a Chromebook
When it comes to upgrades, Chrome OS and Android couldn't be more different.
Since Chrome OS can't be customized by device-makers in the way that Android can, y'see, Google's able to control Chromebook updates completely on its own — and that means pipin' hot software can roll out to all current devices within days of its release, regardless of who made each laptop or where it was purchased. (And, uh, yeah: Suffice it to say, the same can't exactly be said for Android.)
