 Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com Today I'll have another episode of Chromebook Tips and Tricks video and I'll talk about why you should travel with your Chromebook. I'm going to be playing some of my travel scenes in the background so you don't get bored and if you're interested in watching these scenes they're part of my New Zealand travel video playlist which you'll find in my playlist section of my YouTube channel and the first video is going to be actually some scenes from my Melbourne to Auckland business class trip on Qantas Airlines so I'll talk about why you should travel with your Chromebook. The first point I'd like to mention that think of traveling with Windows computer and a Chromebook so I have a high-end Windows computer which costs about $2,000 and I have a high end or very good quality Chromebook which costs about $400 so definitely due to the low cost you're going to be much more comfortable traveling with a Chromebook because if you lose your computer you're better off losing a $400 Chromebook than a $2,000 laptop so that's the main point or that's one of the main factors you need to consider when you're traveling with Chromebook because of its low cost and another factor is that it's lightweight that's not like in a heavy like Windows so you can have actually a very lightweight Chromebook for between like you know three four hundred dollars and then in terms of security no other computer or laptops will give you security or peace of mind like Chromebook this is due to the fact that Chromebooks are always encrypted however you know Windows computers or Windows laptops aren't encrypted yes you can have Windows encrypted laptop which is going to be Windows 10 Pro but you need to spend $100 or possibly more for that and then you have to go through the hassle of to or enable bit lockers it's not you know as simple as Chromebook which by default is encrypted what encryption does is that you know if let's say if you lose your Windows laptop anyone can get a hold of the laptop they don't need to they don't need a password so they can boot the laptop with another operating system and they can you know access your storage and all the information on the laptop and or they have the option to remove the hard drive from the Windows laptop and they can just like you know put it on to another computer and they'll be able to access like you know the information on the laptop but with Chromebook this is not possible as long as you have a strong password even if you lose your Chromebook you know no one will be able to access your information because you know it's encrypted and the files and folders and everything most of them are you know staying on cloud so even if you lose it there's nothing to worry about so just make sure that you have a very strong password for your Google account and that you're safe to travel with your Chromebook and another feature Chromebook has is the guest mode so what it does that you know you can access to internet without logging into actual Chromebook so you don't have to use your email ID or password or anything so you can just use a guest mode whenever you are at an internet cafe or at a shady Wi-Fi that you don't want to like you know I enter your password or anything so you can just you know use the guest mode which comes with every Chromebook and even just like you know do the surfing and everything so that's another layer of security which Chromebook can offer and the cloud you know storage for Chromebook make sure that you know there's no actual data on your device because you know everything is online so you don't really need to worry about like you know stuff or anything on the hard drive so even someone is getting access to the Chromebook you know they cannot they don't have much to do because number one is encrypted and then it's you know most of the stuff they're staying on cloud also Chromebook offers you offline access you know you can set up your Chromebook to give you access offline and you can actually write email and you can use like you know offline apps to play or like you know they're like you know whether apps or travel apps or there's so many apps you can use on Chromebook when it's offline so you don't need to worry about like you know getting online with your Chromebook when you're traveling so that's another you know good thing about when you travel with your Chromebook another advantage of Chromebook you have is that you know let's say you are concerned about the stuff you have on your laptop for Windows you cannot just like you erase them or get rid of them right away because you know everything is there but with a Chromebook let's see you're going through customs and immigration and there's some sensitive information you don't want anyone to see so you can just do it like you know power worship Chromebook and it's going to erase everything and you can then hand over your laptop your Chromebook to the security or like you know customs or immigration or border patrol whoever you know at the immigration if they want to take a look at your Chromebook so they have nothing to look there because you know everything is like you know blank but with Windows it's not like that you know it's you cannot just like you know reboot right away and log back in right away it's not it just doesn't simply work that way so that's another advantage of Chromebook if you're concerned about security or immigration police or customs and security officers you know looking after your stuff or going through a stuff whenever you're before going through the you know customs and immigration you just like you know do a power washer or in a hard reset on your Chromebook and it just takes a few minutes and you can just log back in with your password and login ID and then you're back to normal but definitely this is something you cannot even think of doing with Windows laptop so for these reasons I just mentioned it's always a good idea to travel with your Chromebook instead of your Windows laptop because Chromebook is convenient it's you know light it's more secure it's encrypted it's inexpensive so all these factors lead to make you a better choice when you travel definitely you know you shouldn't be you shouldn't hesitate to use it for Windows laptop so Chromebook is the ultimate travel device you can possibly think of I cannot think of any other like you know operating system or any other laptop which would give so much security and convenience than Chromebook so for that reason whenever I travel and I need to carry a laptop I definitely will take my you know Chromebook in a certain of my Windows laptop thank you for that's all I wanted to talk about today thank you for watching this
