An embedded operating system (OS) is a type of OS that is used in embedded computing devices. The term 'embedded' refers to devices that are installed (that is, embedded) as built-in components of a wider system, in which they serve a special, functional purpose. Embedded OSs differ from other types of OSs by their optimized design. Form factors, price points and other parameters of embedded devices set constraints on the OS, for example, in terms of functionality, user interface, memory space and driver support. Consequently, the architectures of embedded OSs tend to be extensively optimized for single-purpose deployment, stripped out of anything that is considered unnecessary for their use. This does not mean that embedded OSs cannot be applied outside of embedded devices. For instance, it is common to see embedded real-time operating systems (RTOSs) being used to handle the baseband functionality in smartphones.

Honestly, pros and cons. 
Con - Since the chrome update was made with the AI changes a while back, my chrome has not worked the same. The operating system shuts down constantly in the middle of me working. 
Pro - Being able to use google classroom has been a good experience with ease and flow for students/teacher.

This is a simple OS feels more like a phone OS then a fully blown desktop/laptop solution.

To get the most I feel you need to pay monthly subscriptions to use G-Suite or another office based product
