What is a Chromebook
A Chromebook is a laptop that allows you to use the Chrome Internet Browser and G Suite applications such as Drive, Docs, Google Classroom, Google Meet, and other MRCS approved applications. You will sign in using your MRCS student account. The Chromebook will connect automatically at the school, but it will need to be connected to the Internet to access everything you need from home.
