Description

ChromeOS Flex is a free, cloud-first operating system from Google that installs on standard PCs and Macs — a version of ChromeOS designed to breathe new life into older hardware. It boots quickly, is managed largely through the Chrome browser and web apps, and is popular for reviving aging laptops for lightweight, secure everyday use.
