Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your Chromebook is straightforward: upon powering on, follow the on-screen instructions to sign in with your Google account. ChromeOS will automatically sync your bookmarks, passwords, and extensions. For compatibility, the device features both USB Type-C and Type-A ports, allowing you to connect legacy peripherals like mice or flash drives alongside modern docks. To maintain the device, keep the screen clean with a dry microfiber cloth, avoid placing heavy objects on the lid to protect the thin panel, and ensure the ventilation ports on the underside remain unobstructed to prevent thermal throttling.
