Consumer Reports

This Toshiba is a relative steal for $350, even though there are less expensive Chromebooks on the market.
It has 4GB of RAM (as much, we must note, as the $1,000 Surface Laptop coming this summer), and its performance was deemed excellent by our testers. It can simultaneously run several browser windows or streaming movies without a struggle.
This model doesn’t have a touch screen, so while you can use the Google Play Store to download apps, you’ll have to rely on the trackpad.

  -UPDATE (May 28, 2016): After ~5 months of heavy use (~8 hours daily) and I am pleased with the performance! I can now just barely hear the fan in a very quiet room where as before I was totally unaware it was even running. It is still very quiet though and nothing like my old lenovo. I have noticed some strange keyboard backlight issues though. I have seen it turn off and on while typing

 I have noticed some strange keyboard backlight issues though. I have seen it turn off and on while typing. Will update again if anything changes.

 -There are trackpad “dead zones.” On both sides, there are half-inch vertical strips where the trackpad does not work. Took me a few weeks to notice, definitely a bummer. -Opening this Chromebook is difficult

  Toshiba CB2 Cons: -The trackpad physical click isn't great. If you tap hard, it sounds unpleasantly like a click but you have to press much harder to get it to physically click which makes dragging difficult because the friction is so high. You can get around this by enabling tap to click and double tap to drag, but the physical click was hard to get used to. This is my first laptop with this click feature, so take this opinion with a grain of salt

Great laptop for the money!!! Some minor flaws.

 The Core i3 CPU helps the system boot up and load quickly. It's not a processing powerhouse, but for an affordable Chrome OS laptop that will mostly browse the Web, stream video, and run a few applications, it's plenty fast. I was able to multitask without lag or delay during testing.

Performance  The Chromebook 2 features a 2.1GHz Intel Core i3-5015U processor, 4GB of memory, and integrated Intel HD graphics. In comparison, the Asus Chromebook Flip has a 1.8GHz Rockchip RK3288C ARM CPU (a lower-price and less-powerful processor), and 4GB of memory

Toshiba Chromebook 2 (CB35-C3350) Review

 9/10. Processing Power : Having an updated intel processor the chromebook is seriously fast. It is more a test of the wifi in your house as the processor paired with the light and undemanding OS leaves the fan off for most of the time - and for the times it is on you can barely hear the hum it creates. It can handle online games such as agar

 The tracpad was also good, I don't understand the general dislike against it's texture - after about a minute of use I no-longer felt the fine grain on it. The removal of the function and delete key did not have a major impact on the 'functionality' of the device, and the chrome specific keys in place of them were helpful. 9/10. Processing Power : Having an updated intel processor the chromebook is seriously fast

 Battery : Possibly the most dissapointing part of the chromebook, I almost hope that I did not properly charge the battery as the on time I saw out of the laptop ( with medium brightness and backlighting ) was no where near the 11 hours promised. This was also paired with the extremely inacurate battery time predictions - 100% with 3 hours left was far from the norm, and the time actualy *increased* as the batterly went down - leaving me doughtfull of the software behind the predictions - toshiba, up your game. 3/10. Screen : Again a stunning desplay from toshiba

io with ease as well as streaming live video or music simultaniously - I've seen people juggling multiple video streams at once - but again this is very subjective to your internet speeds. 8/10. Battery : Possibly the most dissapointing part of the chromebook, I almost hope that I did not properly charge the battery as the on time I saw out of the laptop ( with medium brightness and backlighting ) was no where near the 11 hours promised.

TOSHIBA CHROMEBOOK IN-DEPTH REVIEW

  First two day's have each given me approximately six to seven hours of battery life, with about 20% or so remaining (according to the meter). Movies obviously take their toll.  Now onto CHROME: Super fast boot up.

 For comparison, our other laptop has only b/g/n. SpeedTest.net has our standard one at 52MBS, while the Toshiba clocks in a 155MBS! I've had a dozen tabs open, plus a movie on and this thing doesn't break a sweat. A big thumbs up!  Have had a couple of drops on day one, but it re-connected immediately

 The Toshiba identified both our 2.4 and 5ghz network connections and the 5 is smoking fast. For comparison, our other laptop has only b/g/n. SpeedTest

not up to standard IMO. Amazon, please take note! That said, all is working fine, so call this a pass on the initial durability test.  Like the three little bears, I wanted something just the right size.

Toshiba CB35-C3300.  First take AND Google Chrome-TAKE NOTE!

 Keyboard is reasonably comfortable. However, will take some getting used to because layout is slightly different than traditional keyboard layout found on laptop PCs. No ALL CAPS key, instead a "search" key in its place.  I would cautiously recommend this device to other people looking for a good Chromebook

BUYER BEWARE. Price fluctuates. Quality inconsistent.

 Where this device excels is in the screen quality, keyboard, trackpad, battery life and ease of use!  The display is top notch. Colors are bright and vivid and text is crystal clear. I do not use it outdoors, so I cannot comment on that, but all other usage has been great. The keyboard rivals and in some ways I'd say beats my Macbook Pro and the trackpad is very responsive and an absolute pleasure to use compared to most offerings on the many windows laptops I've used over the years

. though more on that later.  The device is light and very portable. The construction feels very good, with maybe a slight knock on the plastic used for the casing

  The device is light and very portable. The construction feels very good, with maybe a slight knock on the plastic used for the casing. However I have had NO problems with it and it has withstood being carried around and used daily for the last 2 months. It's even stood up to a 4yr old who has bumped into it without even the slightest scratch

Amazing device for those familiar with Google Chrome and other Google applications/services!

 The keyboard is decent--okay key travel, nothing expensive or premium. The sound into my headphones is pretty good. I'm no DJ or audio expert, but it's evidently tuned by skull-candy, which is pretty much a fledgling name brand suited for budget purchases in audio ("better than nothing" applies here). The track pad is the 1st thing I noticed which kind of turned me off

 It turns on with medium CPU power usage like 1080p youtube videos, and when it does it makes this nice and alarming MOTOR sound. The MOTOR sound sounds just like there is actually some hair stuck in it, which makes the fan work harder. With this fan discrepancy I'm afraid that something on the computer will give-out before its average life expectancy.  One more tidbit: Even though the screen is only 1080p, this thing motors through 1440p video like nothing, with multiple youtube tabs opened playing the same resolution; I tested it :)  I am returning it reluctantly and with one caveat: If the fan didn't make that noise and the track pad was as it should be, I would NEVER consider returning this pretty sweet machine

The Intel Core i3 coupled with the top-notch screen is perfect for my casual use of a laptop. It makes casual surfing nice and exciting IMO

 I'm no DJ or audio expert, but it's evidently tuned by skull-candy, which is pretty much a fledgling name brand suited for budget purchases in audio ("better than nothing" applies here). The track pad is the 1st thing I noticed which kind of turned me off. Here is why: The lower side which is square to the bottom of the laptop body actually stick up OVER the body. If you run your finger nail up from the bottom of the laptop towards the track pad, the track pad actually STOPS your finger from moving ONTO the track pad

Returning Reluctantly:Updated!!!!!!

 You cannot be dissapointed with a screen like this, especially for $300!  Con's (ALL MINOR) -You seriously cannot expect much more for a $300 system. But the trackpad is a little poor. Personally I think it works great, but is a tiny bit "cheap". The keyboard is great, and the trackpad I have never had a problem, but the actual clicking and quality could be improved

 Personally I think it works great, but is a tiny bit "cheap". The keyboard is great, and the trackpad I have never had a problem, but the actual clicking and quality could be improved. -Chrome OS isn't bad! But I would love iTunes compatibility (rarity to happen) along with Steam (can install linux). -I installed linux but had some issues with the mouse cursor

 Windows 10 is a much bigger improvement, however, no matter how much you may hear from others, Windows 10 is still a heavy system. I have an ASUS UX305CA which has a core M processor. I like the computer, and paid $600 for it. While I love it, I wanted to try something new, and saw the rave reviews on chromebooks and Toshiba's

 better than my ASUS ultrabook. It's not bose quality, but the best laptop speakers I have had. -Pretty light, A little heavier than the ultrabook but still very light and portable. -Chrome OS isn't as bad as I thought

Never Thought I would own a Chromebook

 I had a good understanding of Chromebooks before I purchased this, so I knew what to expect. Specifically referring to this computer, though, it's fantastic. The keyboard is fantastic, the keyboard backlighting is wonderful (the main reason I chose this Chromebook) the screen exceeds expectations (extremely bright and crisp) and the touchpad is very accurate and sensitive. I've read complaints about the touchpad, but I cannot agree

  Specific to this machine, the quality still blows me away. It's like a mini Macbook Pro (in regards to the hardware). The speakers reproduce sound better than I would have ever expected, they're loud and have bass and mids, it's crazy. The screen is so nice, color accuracy is wonderful, brightness is fantastic, viewing angle is exceptional, pixel density is great

 The touchpad itself is awesome, but the physical click is like there's a marshmallow underneath the touch pad with a tooth pick jammed in it, and you have to break the toothpick in order to click. I mean, the physical click is really mushy and the click is so unsatisfying. Now that I think about it, breaking a tooth pick inside of a marshmallow would feel a lot more satisfying than the way this click feels. Anyway, for how good the hardware of this Chromebook is, it really disappoints me that the touchpad doesn't have a really nice clean click

 That's ridiculous.  The one hardware complaint that I have is the physical click of the touchpad. The touchpad itself is awesome, but the physical click is like there's a marshmallow underneath the touch pad with a tooth pick jammed in it, and you have to break the toothpick in order to click. I mean, the physical click is really mushy and the click is so unsatisfying

Buy it. It's fantastic.

Acer Chromebook Spin 713 CP713-2W-5874, 13.5" 2K (2256 x 1504) VertiView IPS Corning Gorilla Glass Touch Display, 10th Gen Intel Core i5-10210U, 8GB DDR4, 128GB PCIe NVMe SSD, Convertible, Backlit KB, Chrome OS

RTINGS

If you have a light workload and can perform all of your tasks in a Chrome browser, a Chromebook might be a good fit, like the Acer Chromebook Spin 713. It's a 13-inch 2-in-1 convertible with a 360-degree hinge, which means you can use it as a tablet or go into tent mode for presentations and media consumption. It's compact and lightweight, and its battery lasts over 12 hours of light productivity, long enough to get you through a typical school or workday.

Since Chrome OS is a light operating system designed for low-end hardware, the Core i3 model with 4GB is more than adequate to provide a smooth desktop experience, though you'll have to limit the number of apps you have open at once. It's worth going up to 8GB, but expect to pay a little more. Its QHD display has a 3:2 aspect ratio, which gives you more vertical space so that you don't need to scroll as much when reading a document or website, and it gets bright enough to combat glare. The keyboard feels comfortable to type on and is quiet, so you don't need to worry about causing too much noise in a quiet classroom or office.

If you've never used a Chromebook before, just know that it doesn't support regular Windows x86 applications. It means you can only use web-based applications through the Chrome browser, Android apps, or Linux apps. If you need x86 applications for your school or work, you're better off with a Windows device. Nonetheless, this is a great thin and light productivity laptop worth checking out.

The best Chromebook we've tested is the Acer Chromebook Spin 713. It's a 2-in-1 convertible laptop with a 360-degree hinge, meaning you can flip the screen around and use it as a tablet for media consumption. It's easy to carry around, thanks to its thin and light design, and the battery lasts over 12 hours of light use. It has a sharp and bright display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, a keyboard that's comfortable to type on for extended periods, and a touchpad that tracks decently well. Performance-wise, even the lowest-end model with an Intel Pentium Gold CPU is more than capable of handling simple tasks like web browsing, text formatting, and video playback. However, if you tend to have lots of browser tabs or applications open at once, it's best to go up to an Intel Core i5 or a Core i7 with 8 or 16GB of memory. All in all, this is a well-rounded Chromebook that should satisfy most people's needs.

If cost isn't a concern and you want an even more premium-feeling Chromebook, go with the Google Pixelbook Go (2019). It's thinner and lighter than the Acer Chromebook Spin 713, making it more portable, and its magnesium alloy chassis feels sturdier. It also has a touch-sensitive 13 inch screen with a more traditional 16:9 aspect ratio, but it isn't a 2-in-1, which means you can't flip the screen around into tablet mode. The touchpad is larger and more responsive, the webcam captures a better image, and the battery lasts nearly 14 hours of light use. You don't have to worry about fan noise because it's a fanless device. If you're after the most premium Chrome OS experience, this is the one to get.

Although Chromebooks have a reputation for being cheap, plasticky laptops, you can find some high-quality options these days without breaking the bank. The best laptop under $500 with Chrome OS that we've tested is the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 (2020). It's a well-built 2-in-1 convertible laptop with a 360-hinge, meaning you can flip the screen all the way around and use it as a tablet. It feels well-built, with a thin and light design that makes it easy to carry around. The power adapter is compact, but you likely won't need it as the battery lasts over 12 hours of light productivity.

The 13.5 inch screen is very sharp and gets bright enough for use in well-lit settings. Its reflection handling is good overall, but it's best to avoid bright lights shining directly at the screen as it has a glossy finish. The keyboard doesn't cause fatigue over extended periods, and the touchpad has decent tracking. The Core i3 model with 4GB of RAM can handle most general productivity tasks like text formatting, web browsing, and video playback. If you tend to have many applications running simultaneously, it's best to opt for an i5 or i7 model with more memory but expect to pay more.

If you're new to Chromebooks, keep in mind that Chrome OS doesn't support x86 applications. If you're in a field that requires third-party programs, like video editing or engineering software, you're better off with a more powerful Windows or Apple laptop. Unfortunately, you can't use a stylus to take notes because the display doesn't support pen input. Nonetheless, if you're looking for a high-quality Chromebook that isn't too expensive, this is one to consider.

The Acer Chromebook Spin 713 (2020) is the best laptop under $400 with Chrome OS we've tested. It's a compact 2-in-1 convertible that's easy to carry around, with a battery that lasts over 12 hours of light productivity, so you don't have to worry about bringing the charger with you. The Core i3-10110U configuration with 4GB of memory is enough to handle most student workloads. If you tend to have multiple applications running simultaneously and don't mind spending just a bit more, it's best to opt for a model with 8GB because you can't upgrade the RAM later on.

Unlike most cheap Chromebooks, Acer stepped it up and equipped this laptop with a sharp, colorful display. Its 3:2 aspect ratio gives you a bit more vertical space so that you don't have to scroll as much when reading a document or website, but it does mean that you'll always see black bars at the top and bottom when watching videos. The keyboard is quiet, which is great for noise-sensitive environments like classrooms, and it's comfortable to type on for extended periods.

If you're new to Chrome OS, you need to make sure that you can do all of your school assignments through the Chrome browser or Android apps. If you're in a more technical field that requires x86 applications, you're better off with a Windows device, like the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14 (2020) below. This laptop is becoming harder to find since there's a newer but more expensive Spin 713 with Intel 11th Gen CPUs, so it's a great time to snatch one up, and you might even find a higher-end configuration for around or below $400.

This 13.5-inch 2-in-1 convertible has a lot going for it. It has an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of memory, and 128GB of solid-state storage. Those are above-average specs for a Chromebook, which explains why it ranks so high.
Our testers highlighted a few attributes in particular, including the long battery life (up to 18 hours), relatively light weight (around 3 pounds), and the convertible form factor. That means you can fold the keyboard behind the display to more easily use the device like a tablet.
Acer has a similar Spin model with a faster processor and twice the storage space, but it costs a few hundred dollars more.

If you don't need the most premium device and prefer to save money, get the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 (2020), a 2-in-1 convertible with all-day battery life. It has a QHD display that looks sharp and colorful and gets bright enough to combat glare in well-lit environments. The keyboard feels comfortable to type on and doesn't cause much noise, and the touchpad is decently large and responsive. Its overall build doesn't feel as premium as the Google Pixelbook Go (2019), but it's still sturdy.

Although this is a discontinued model, you can still find some configurations through online retailers, and it's a great time to get one because the Core i3 model is on sale for Black Friday on Amazon. It has 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage, which isn't a lot, but it's enough to provide a smooth experience on Chrome OS as long as you don't have too many applications running simultaneously. You can also get a Core i5 model with 8GB of memory and 128GB of storage, but it's significantly more expensive.

If you don't want to spend too much on a premium device, the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 (2020) is a great mid-range option. It's a 2-in-1 convertible with a 360-degree hinge, meaning you can flip the screen around and use it as a tablet. It has a sturdy build, a thin and light design, and all-day battery life. Its 3:2 QHD display gets bright enough to combat glare and provides a little more vertical room than a standard 16:9 screen, which is great for productivity as you don't have to scroll as much when reading a document or website.

You can get this laptop with an Intel Pentium Gold, 10th Gen. Core i3, i5 or i7 CPU, and up to 16GB of memory and 256GB of storage. These Intel CPUs are a few years old; however, they still hold up and are powerful enough to run Chrome OS smoothly. As for memory, 4GB is enough for most people with a light workload, but if you often have multiple applications running simultaneously, it's best to go up to 8GB or 16GB. Its port selection is good; you get one USB-A, two USB-Cs, an HDMI 2.0, a headphone jack, and an SD card slot.

One thing to note is that the Intel 10th Gen. model is discontinued, which is why you can find it cheaper. If you can't find one, there's a newer Intel 11th Gen. model available on Amazon. Although we haven't tested it, it looks to be physically similar to its predecessor, but you'll likely get better performance, thanks to the newer chip. The downside is that it's more expensive.
