Downloading Torrents on a Chromebook Posted: 06 Jun 2014 07:00 AM PDT One of the biggest complaints about Google’s Chromebooks in their lack of ‘regular’ software that Windows and Mac users are accustomed to.

What Does AnTuTu Benchmark Actually Measure? Posted: 06 Jun 2014 05:00 AM PDT AnTuTu is one of the most popular benchmark apps for Android devices. It tests many parts of your device and assigns an overall score. Here’s what AnTuTu is actually measuring and what each benchmark means for real-world use. Overall Score Like other benchmark apps, AnTuTu gives your device an overall numerical score as well as individual scores for each test it performs.
