Identification
An immediate check it to see if the laptop is running ChromeOS, and then to check how much on board storage capacity it has. If the capacity is small you likely have a Chromebook, especially if the manufacture date is recent. Occasionally you will see an older laptop "revived" by installing ChromeOS onto it. The hardware demands for that OS are so much lower, especially for web browsing or using cloud based apps that many otherwise overwhelmed laptops can be used productively. A definitive check is the manufacturer's label frequently found on the underside of the unit. Your model number will allow you to know your machine's setup by checking online.
