Google Chrome: Have different settings on different computers?

In Chrome on your slow laptop, open Advanced sync settings (chrome://settings/syncSetup), turn off "Sync everything", and uncheck anything you do not want to sync to the laptop. This will only affect the laptop where you change these settings.

After unchecking "Apps" in this list, you will experience the following behavior:

• Any apps you install on another computer will not automatically install on the slow laptop.
• Any apps you install on the slow laptop will not automatically install on your other computers.
• Any apps you remove from another computer will not automatically be removed from the slow laptop.
• Any apps you remove from the slow laptop will not automatically be removed from your other computers.
