If your Chromebook is running low on disk space, we recommend deleting files you don't need anymore.
Chromebooks may look like average laptops, but they’re very different. This can make navigating them challenging, even to those familiar with the Chrome operating system. Finding simple things like the hardware specifications of a Chromebook can be tricky. However, while things like storage space may be tucked away, you can still find it with a bit of digging.
However, they have come a long way over the years and can do much more. Newer models can run (some) Android apps and even Linux (if you wanna get geeky). But unlike other operating systems, in Chrome OS, there isn’t an easy way to see your system’s hardware such as RAM, CPU, and Storage.
There are a few different ways you can find out about what’s going on under-the-hood. Here’s a look at what info Chrome OS does offer, and how you can get the hardware and system specs of your Chromebook.
About Chromebooks:
A Chromebook is a laptop or tablet running the Linux-based Chrome OS as its operating system. The devices are primarily used to perform a variety of tasks using the Google Chrome browser, with most applications and data residing in the cloud rather than on the machine itself. All Chromebooks released since late 2017 can also run Android apps. Some Chromebooks can run Linux apps.
The first Chromebooks for sale, by Acer Inc. and Samsung, began shipping in 2011. In addition to laptop models, a desktop version, called a Chromebox, was introduced in May 2012, and an "all-in-one" device, called a Chromebase, was introduced in January 2014, by LG Electronics.
