The Acer Chromebook Spin 713 is hands down the best Chromebook money can buy. With a lovely 3:2 screen that is suitable for some of the more expensive competitors, you have enough extra space at the top for your work and multitasking.
The console is surprising with a nice relaxed feel and a solid background. There's even an HDMI port that you don't always see on a thin Chromebook. Also, (especially) 11th generation Intel processors can easily handle a hefty stack of tabs. Spin speakers aren't great and they don't have biometric registration, but for a PC of this quality at a low price it's a fair fine. In a market where the main differences between Chromebooks in the range of these values can be attributed to their screens and possibly the pointer that goes with them, Acer stands for making a solid PC that is good at almost everything.
If you're looking for a smart device quickly, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet offers a great boost at a fraction of the cost. It's a versatile 10.1-inch 2-in-1 with a removable console and stand cover.
Equipped with a MediaTek Helio P60T processor, 4 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of storage, the Duet performs well if you are just browsing and don't expect a very heavy load. It also uses a Chrome OS tweak designed with mutable structural factors in mind, along with a basic form of Chrome optimized for use on tablets. When limited to its console, Duet supports an Android-style signal-routing framework that makes it easy to share between apps. The most surprising element, however, is the battery life; I have about 11.5 long lengths of really heavy use. Of course there are failures. The touchpad and console are small, there's no headphone jack (just a USB-C port), and the 16:10 screen is pretty unappealing. However, these are reasonable compromises that must be made at a particularly affordable price. This is an unusual tool for doing homework or surfing the web quickly.
If you're hoping for more performance and don't want to worry about a bigger PC, the HP Chromebook x360 14 is an unusual solution. HP has a few tweaks under this moniker, but we recommend the model we tested with 8GB of RAM and 64GB of storage to do justice to the i3 processor.
Although we chose the Asus because of its extensive plan, we have nothing to complain about the relatively larger HP. It has similar ports, RAM and storage capacity. The console is great and the sound is also a bit better, as are the speakers on the console deck than the base.
Asus is looking for a Detachable CM3 Chromebook to take possession of Lenovo's famous Chromebook Duet. Like the Duet, the CM3 is a 10.5-inch Chrome OS 16:10 tablet with a text cover, stand, and console that rises and falls. It is slightly more expensive than the Duet, but it also has a number of additional components. A particular advantage is the overlap of the stand in many ways: you can set the tablet upright like a PC on a long journey, or fold it briefly and lay the tablet on a horizontal surface. We don't know how much this actually is, but it is in case you have a use case that worries you the most.
The CM3 also features a basic USI pointer and spacious buttons with an amazing amount of movement. In any case, what surprised us the most was the battery life: we always ran out of half of the gadget. The CM3 won't be the best Chromebook for everyone: it only has two ports (USB-C and an audio jack), and the MediaTek processor is slower to cycle compared to more expensive options. However, if you're looking for a convertible Chrome OS gadget and find that Duet doesn't quite suit your needs, then, logically, CM3's main stakeholder group is.
Samsung's first Chromebook Galaxy went to the moon with a $ 1,000 sticker, OLED display, packaging pointer and an unusual shape. The Galaxy Chromebook 2 isn't an offshoot of this gadget, but a smaller, smarter alternative. There is no one-of-a-kind fingerprint, pointer, or OLED sensor - other than being super easy to use and costing less than $ 600, it's a much more important acquisition.
The highlight of the Chromebook 2 is its completeness: it comes in a beautiful festive red that stands out wherever you use it. (There's also a darker alternative if you're inclined towards something brighter.) This is also the first Chromebook to feature one of Samsung's QLED boards. QLED is not OLED, only LED is better, but it is arguably the most advanced display I've seen on a Chromebook.
Satisfactory screens sometimes ruin battery life, but this is not the case here. I found myself in the middle of almost seven hours and 21 minutes of constant work on the Chromebook 2, which means you don't have to plug it in over and over again. And keep in mind that a Core i3 processor isn't the most impressive chip you can get on a Chromebook, which is good for regular work use.
