HP announces its significantly pricier take on a Chrome tablet, pen included
How high is the price ceiling for this category of Chromebook?
Chrome OS has been a home OS to many a convertible laptop — their unibody form factors and 360° hinges appeal to those looking for a keyboard one minute, none the next. HP, though, is pushing into the burgeoning convertible tablet space alongside Lenovo and Asus with the all-new Chromebook x2 11.
Take this versatile Lenovo Chromebook back to school, now at its lowest price yet
No need to scrimp by on student membership discounts
The back-to-school shopping frenzy is well underway and for plenty of students, it's back to the real-life classroom as well. But whether there or still remote, if you're looking for a note-taking buddy that'll get the job done on the cheap, Lenovo's Chromebook C340-15 may do just the trick — and it's available at Best Buy for a song.
ASUS may be prepared to tread where Lenovo has gone before with a new Chrome OS tablet, complete with kickstand and keyboard cover. Intelligence suggests that the so-called Chromebook Flip device could have nearly the same spec footprint as last year's Duet. And in fact, the few spots where things differ, this new tablet could come out bigger and better.
Lenovo unveils AMD Ryzen-powered ThinkPad Chromebook for $579
The sleek 2-in-1 convertible ThinkPad C13 Yoga is aimed at enterprise and education customers
It's been quite a while since Lenovo last released a ThinkPad-branded Chromebook, but it's now back with the C13 Yoga convertible. The productivity-focused machine is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 3700C Series processor and comes with a slew of ports and features. It starts at $579, although a range of optional extras can be added to configure the ThinkPad to your needs.
A good Chromebook doesn't often come by like this one: the ASUS Chromebook Flip C434 might have an unwieldy name, but it has plenty of trimmings to serve as a fairly good computing option for any number of people on your holiday gift list this season. Best of all right now, you can grab one for just $400.Our Corbin Davenport gave a glowing overall assessment of this 14-inch machine. That said, the base model is the one that's on sale right now and it's admittedly slightly underpowered: there's an 8th-gen Intel Core m3 processor with 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 64GB of eMMC storage. But with a decent 1080p display, two USB-C ports, a 360-degree hinge, and an aluminum build weighing just 3 lbs., it definitely can excel as a Chrome OS device.
Let's say you're looking for a Chromebook: you want something that's versatile, premium-feeling, and... uh... well, not a Pixelbook Go. May we suggest Acer's Chromebook Spin 13? It's got full-blown Intel laptop power, 8GB of RAM, a convertible form factor plus a stylus, and its price has just fallen off a cliff edge on Amazon.Our Ryne Hager reviewed the Spin 13 a year ago and found it to be "the most powerful Chromebook you can buy, but maybe you shouldn't." The 'pro' part of the equation? A 2256 x 1504 display, a Wacom digitized stylus, a strong 54Wh battery, two USB-C ports, and dual-band Wi-Fi.The 'con' part of things was mostly found to be in the value proposition at time of launch. The particular model we're looking at has an 8th-gen U-series Core i5, 8GB of DDR3 RAM (somewhat unfortunate, but it's a Chromebook, so it's still a net positive), and 128GB of storage. This combination originally sold at close to the $1,000 mark, but has been checked down and down again for the past year.
When I see the name "Dell," I always think: practical, reliable, affordable, and probably looks like a tank. This new Dell Inspiron Chromebook, however, aims to change that just a little bit by adding premium features to the company's line-up of Chrome OS laptops.
We've all heard the phrase "jack of all trades, master of none," and there's a distinctly negative connotation to it. The more something tries to do, the worse it is at any one task. Unfortunately, it still holds true today. But some products, like this one, are starting to toe the line.ASUS' latest Chromebook Flip C101PA combines performance with excellent build quality in a convertible package. So not only do you get a great Chromebook, to a certain degree, you also get a good Android tablet. And it will only cost you $299 — and a somewhat disappointing screen.The updated C101 was originally teased back in May at Computex, but ASUS kept radio silence on the subject until just last month, when it announced that this latest revision of the 10" Chromebook Flip would be available for pre-order.On the surface, the new Chromebook looked much the same as the one it was replacing, however it has a couple small but significant improvements. Although the C101 isn't without its problems, the new machine is better than the already great model it replaces. In short, the ASUS Chromebook Flip C101PA is probably the best 10" Chromebook you can buy right now. And, with Android apps, it's even a pretty decent tablet.
