The feature has yet to be tested, so there’s no telling if enabling the Wi-Fi hotspot will significantly drain a Chromebooks battery. Of course, this depends on each make, but allowing your Chromebook to become a personal Wi-Fi hotspot to connect a phone or tablet to its mobile network makes sense. It beats draining your smartphone’s battery while you’re out and about. If it does roll out, there’s reason to believe it would act like how it would be used on an Android device. Users would be able to toggle the Wi-Fi hotspot on or off, and users could change its name and password. It’s unclear when the feature will be available, so sit tight. In the meantime, check out all you need to know about a Chromebook and why you should buy one. Plus, find out which is better for work, an iPad or a Chromebook?
