The Lenovo's left side holds the USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI ports, as well as an SD card slot for expanding storage. None of these 2-in-1 Chromebooks is a burden in a briefcase, though all are a bit heavy to hold with one hand in tablet mode. (Compare the Acer Spin 11 at 3.09 pounds, though the aluminum-clad, 12.5-inch Asus Chromebook Flip C302CA is just 2.43 pounds.) It measures a compact 0.77 by 11.4 by 8.5 inches, roughly the same as the Spin 11 and a bit smaller than the Asus C213SA. The Chromebook is constructed of white plastic with black keys and giant black bezels around the display Lenovo and Chrome logos decorate the lid.Īt 2.64 pounds, the C330 is on the light side for a convertible. Other specs include 4GB of RAM and a MediaTek MTK8173C processor, an ARM chip with two 2.1GHz and two 1.7GHz cores. The screen measures 11.6 inches diagonally and has the familiar, lowest-common-denominator 1,366 by 768 resolution. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. (That is just as well, since it's taken by the AC adapter when the system's recharging.) You'll also find both USB-C and USB 3.0 Type-A ports, plus an HDMI port so you don't have to use the USB-C port for an external monitor. Though it isn't flimsy, it hasn't passed the MIL-STD 810G ruggedness tests of the aforementioned Acer and Asus, and it doesn't come with a stylus pen as the Acer does.īut if you were expecting a cheap TN display panel, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the Lenovo's colorful IPS touch screen. Naturally, you sacrifice something for the C330's low price. It's an appealing pick for Chromebook buyers on a budget. But if you're looking for a model that can fold from laptop to tablet mode without spending a lot of folding green, Lenovo's new Chromebook C330 is just $279.99 with 32GB of eMMC storage ($299.99 with 64GB). Among more affordable convertibles, the Acer Chromebook Spin 11 and Asus Chromebook Flip C213SA are $399.99 and $349, respectively. Our Editors' Choice, the detachable HP Chromebook x2, is $599.99.
