New Chromebooks Starting at $279 Announced Lenovo
Lenovo has announced two new Chromebooks are coming to market, with one sporting a ‘flex’ touch screen that can flip over backwards.
The notebooks are the first consumer-orientated Chrome devices to be offered from the laptop maker. It has previously produced ruggedised versions of its Yoga line running Chrome OS for education.
11-inch Chromebooks
Despite the swelling ranks, the range of Chromebooks available are fast becoming identical (give or take some over adjectivised colours). Lenovo is hoping that its N20P Chromebook, with a hinging 300 degree display, will be able to (pun intended) stand out.
Unlike the Yoga 11e Chromebooks, this one only has two modes: laptop or ‘tent’. It doesn’t not fold back flush to form a tablet. The screen supports 10-point touch
For those not looking for a less acrobatic device a flex-free versions without touch screen functionality will also be available. Display features aside both the Lenovo Chromebook N20 and its more agile sibling are feature largely identical specifications
11.6-inch display (1366×768)
As yet unspecified Intel Celeron CPU
16 GB SSD
2GB or 4GB RAM
8 Hour Battery
Webcam, 2x USB, HDMI, SD Card reader
Lenovo say the N20 Chromebook will be available to buy in the US this July starting at $279. The more desirable N20p will land this August at a slightly more expensive entry point of $329.
