Windows 11 is very similar to Windows 10 but with a more pleasing user interface. This is remarkable enough considering Chrome browser's RAM usage on Windows is a bit of a meme. Android will use up a good chunk of system resources, so it should be disabled if you're not using it, but aside from that, it's a very lightweight and sprightly OS. The user interface is extremely streamlined, and there aren't many background processes bogging things down. This is particularly useful on touch-enabled devices.Ĭhrome OS has always been good for lighter needs and workflows, and that still continues today. The taskbar, or 'Shelf,' can be used to pin favorite apps, just the same as Windows, but instead of a Start menu there's an app drawer. But Windows is still plagued by a mishmash of old and new, with legacy menus that still look fresh out of the Windows Vista area jarring to stumble upon.Ĭhrome OS, too, has evolved a lot over the years, and you could say it combines a traditional desktop experience with something you might find on a mobile device. It's a lot more pleasing to look at, with both smaller and larger details contributing to the overall effect.
