There are three basic things we all want more of: money, space, and time. 

That’s why more and more people are choosing to switch to Chromebooks.

Chromebooks are laptops that run on Google’s Chrome OS. They are smaller, lightweight, and come with popular Google cloud apps such as Gmail and Docs pre-installed. These computers take up less space than traditional laptops. They are also cheaper on average and easy to use for anyone familiar with Chrome and Google’s apps.

Many organizations are switching from laptops to Chromebooks to save money, time, and space. However, a new operating system brings new obstacles for users printing with Chromebooks.

Coca-Cola vs. Pepsi. Ford vs. GM. Netflix vs. Hulu.  

Brand competition is like a never-ending game that shapes our daily choices. From picking out a soda to choosing our dream car, the battle of the brands is always on display.

This reasoning is faulty. As a local print vendor for nearly 40 years, we have partnered with Xerox and have seen printers' technological advancements firsthand. Choosing the right brand to fulfill your office equipment needs can be the difference between a wise investment and a costly mistake.
