Google Colab is an extremely useful tool to have when creating your Python code that relies on data processing, here’s why!

Runs Within your browser (no configuration)

There is nothing to install or setup, compared to installing Python or a IDE of your choice, this can be a much easier and simpler way to get started with projects.

Free Use of Google GPU’s / TPU’s

This is probably the biggest reason to use Google Colab. When we typically run programs on our computer we are relying on our computers hardware, with Google Colab we have free access to Google GPU’s (Graphics Processing Units) and TPU’s (Tensor Processing Units). This is game changing, depending on what you’re running within your code, you can complete certain tasks much faster by using Google’s dedicated equipment. Also, if you’re sharing this script to another user you…
