Acer Chromebook Spin 713
The Acer Chromebook Spin 713 is a great value laptop. It has a super-sharp 3:2 display, convertible capacity and fast performance. However, you can get cheaper alternatives, so make sure you want the extra perks before you splurge.
The Lenovo 713 is a laptop that is both lightweight and portable. It has a good balance between not looking flimsy and remaining light enough to be portable. Additionally, the convertible screen means that you can use it as a tablet.
Asus Chromebook Detachable CM3
The Slate Tablet has a number of features that make it unique and fun to use. The case and keyboard plug into the tablet, which leaves you feeling like you’re opening an 18th-century hardcover book. The fabric exterior houses a number of useful design elements.
The Detachable CM3 is a tablet-only device that is 10.1 x 6.6 x 0.3 inches and 1.1 pounds, while fully encased in its case and keyboard knocks you out. It can fit into virtually any bag of any shape and is still thin and light compared to its competitors.
Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook
The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook is a great tablet computer that can be used as a Chromebook. It is incredibly portable, and has all the features you would need to stay connected and productive. The Lich King battery also ensures that this computer will never die.
Chromebooks now come with a downloadable beta version of a Linux virtual machine, so you can use a real terminal interface and all the Linux software accessible through it. Simply put, you just don’t see this robust operating system packaged in a tablet.
Acer Chromebook 314
The Acer Chromebook 314 is a budget-friendly laptop that features the standard design principle that made Chromebooks more attractive to many people on their first arrival. The laptop has a low-cost screen, no expensive features, and excellent battery life.
The Acer Chromebook 314 is a sophisticated laptop with a thin plastic chassis. Its design is beautiful enough to qualify the laptop for comparisons with some prize laptops. For added emphasis, the Chromebook 314 is aesthetically embellished with an eye-catching steel blue paint job. The premium quality material Acer used to build this laptop makes your whole body elegant and smooth.
HP Chromebook x360 12
The Chromebook x360 12b has a 3:2 aspect ratio, which produces a 20% greater vertical view for viewing web pages or word processing. It also means the screen is less narrow and more like a pad of paper when the device is held in portrait orientation in tablet mode.
The white ceramic finish on the case and keys of the convertible laptop is a nice contrast against the silver deck. There are two USB 3.1 Type-C ports on both sides, so you can plug in the AC adapter or your phone if you need to. The left edge also features the microSD card slot, an audio jack, and the power supply button. ..
Dell Chromebook 3100
The Dell Chromebook 3100 2-in-1 is designed for use in classrooms, with a rubberized edge and raised rubber ring around the lid to prevent any damage if a child closes the lid with over-reinforced doors, and an easy to remove bottom cover in case of broken parts.
Dell has created a Chromebook that is more or less life-proof for everyone. The keyboard here is spill-resistant and “scratch-resistant” because kids will try to rip the keys off the keyboard, apparently with a resilience it should withstand up for 12 oz. of liquid.
Samsung Chromebook 4 11.6
The Chromebook 4 has a 11.6" HD display that is suitable for entry-level users. The HD LED screen doesn’t have the clarity you’d find on a full HD or 4K display, but it will work for watching YouTube or basic browsing. ..
The Samsung Chromebook 4 is only HD, not full HD. This means that instead of a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels, the Chromebook 4 has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. This will be able to play up for 720p videos on YouTube without any issues, but it won’t be able to render 1080p videos accurately. ..
Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2
The Galaxy 2 has a dimly backlit keyboard, but it has no privacy shutter for its webcam and no fingerprint reader to avoid entering passwords. On the plus side, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth are standard, and the bright red chassis with black keyboard makes it visually stand out, helped by slim display bezels (except for the thick bottom bezel).
This laptop has no HDMI port on the edges, so you will need to use a USB Type-C DisplayPort dongle to connect an external monitor. Samsung has two USB Type-C ports on each side, so anyone can accommodate the compact AC adapter. The left edge also offers a volume control, a headphone jack and a microSD card slot. The power button is on the right. ..
Acer Chromebook Spin 311
The Spin 311 is a Chromebook that has thick bezels around the display, a silver all-aluminium chassis, and a build that should be both durable and portable. And Spin 311 is successful in these last two. There is no flex anywhere on the body, including the keyboard and hinges. The screen is also protected with Gorilla Glass, so it should withstand a few drops. ..
Spin 311 is a small, lightweight machine that doesn’t really matter what you’re doing on it. It feels tight and uncomfortable, especially if you’re carrying it around or using it for casual purposes. For heavy users, however, the limited space is at best irritating and at best a deciding factor.
Asus Chromebook Flip C436
The Flip C436 Chromebook is a sleek, pure-looking device that comes in a variety of colors and finishes. It has clean lines and a slim profile, making it perfect for students or busy professionals. The bottom half of the device is made out of magnesium alloy, which makes it lightweight and thin. Chrome accents complete the look.
The C436 is a laptop that Asus says is designed for people who need to type quickly. The keyboard has a small angle, which Asus says helps with typing. The keys have a lot of movement and look a little muscular. The backlight hue almost matches the metallic color of the keys themselves. The result is key tags that almost disappear.
