Chromebook (stylized in all-lowercase) is a line of laptops, desktops, tablets and all-in-one computers that run ChromeOS, a proprietary operating system developed by Google.

Chromebooks are optimised for web access. They also run Android apps, Linux applications, and progressive web apps which do not require an Internet connection. They are manufactured and offered by various OEMs.

The first Chromebooks were shipped on June 15, 2011. As of 2020, Chromebook's market share is 10.8%, placing it above the Mac platform; it has mainly found success in education markets.

Since 2021, all Chromebooks receive 10 years of regular automatic updates with security patches from Google; previously, Chromebooks received 8 years of updates. Chromebooks can be repurposed with other operating systems and/or used for other purposes if required.
