well it's that time of year again and
0:01
kids are heading back to school and
0:03
whether they're going to a physical
0:04
school location or they're going to be
0:06
learning at home with parents
0:07
we've been receiving all sorts of
0:09
questions over email and social media
0:11
asking which are the best chromebooks to
0:13
buy for students heading back to school
0:15
and so we'd like to offer up three great
0:17
suggestions on three great chromebooks
0:19
that are built well
0:20
and do the job really well and are
0:22
affordable on a daily basis
0:23
but also offer up three tips in the
0:25
event that you can't find those
0:26
chromebooks and you need to make a
0:28
purchasing decision on your own
0:30
[Music]
0:33
before we get into those three
0:35
chromebook suggestions and those three
0:36
tips i do want to tease that we
0:39
do have a really cool giveaway and some
0:41
details to share on that
0:42
we're to do that at the end of this
0:43
video so make sure and stick around to
0:45
the end for that so let's start off with
0:47
what is easily the most affordable
0:49
chromebook in this list and that is the
0:50
lenovo chromebook 3.
0:52
we do have a full review of that up on
0:54
the youtube channel we've got some
0:55
coverage on it over at chromeunbox.com
0:57
so you can check those things out and
0:58
we'll link all the stuff in the
0:59
description but this is a chromebook
1:01
that is solid
1:02
it's well built and it functions pretty
1:04
well it's got the latest
1:05
intel small core processor in it so the
1:08
n4000
1:09
processor is in there and it does most
1:12
jobs pretty well it doesn't have the
1:13
greatest screen in the world and it's
1:14
all plastic but it's 169
1:17
like all the time so you don't have to
1:19
worry about finding it on sale or
1:20
looking for a deal or hunting
1:22
everywhere it's a sub 200 chromebook
1:24
that's going to get the job done
1:26
and we think it's a great device for
1:27
students second up we have a chromebook
1:29
that i mentioned that we
1:31
actually haven't had our hands on just
1:32
yet but based on another chromebook
1:34
that's very similar to it
1:36
uh we think it's going to be a pretty
1:37
solid device and at like 220 to 250
1:40
dollars this one ranges i mean 250 is
1:43
it's msrp but
1:44
it's constantly been on sale for 220 the
1:47
acer chromebook 315 is going to be a
1:50
solid performer for
1:51
kids that need a larger screen it's got
1:54
a 15.6 inch screen it's full hd
1:56
again it's got that same celeron and
1:58
4000 plus chip in it
2:00
four gigs of ram and 64 gigs of internal
2:02
storage so it is a
2:03
well-built chromebook and we're basing
2:05
that on the 314 which is kind of its 14
2:08
inch brother basically it's going to be
2:10
put together pretty well acer makes good
2:11
affordable chromebooks and we think
2:13
again this is going to be
2:14
a larger screen option again sub 300
2:17
for all students and finally as our
2:19
third option we have what is kind of our
2:21
go-to chromebook
2:23
in this price range so anytime someone
2:24
looks for something under 300 bucks
2:26
the easy response is always well have
2:29
you looked at the lenovo chromebook duet
2:31
because it's honestly pretty awesome
2:33
it's well built way outside of its class
2:35
as far as build quality i mean it feels
2:37
like a four or five hundred dollar
2:38
tablet
2:39
the screen is awesome it's super bright
2:41
at 400 nits it's nice and sharp it's a
2:43
16 by 10 display
2:45
it comes with the keyboard in the box it
2:46
has usi stylus compatibility pop it
2:49
apart it does
2:50
android apps really well and i think
2:51
it's just well suited
2:53
for younger kids it's well suited for
2:55
school work it's well suited for all
2:57
sorts of tasks
2:58
and we think it's a great chromebook
3:00
that starts msrp at 299 dollars and only
3:03
goes down from there
3:04
so if you're looking for an affordable
3:05
chromebook that gives you the most bang
3:07
for the buck
3:08
it's got to be the lenovo chromebook
3:09
duet now those three chromebooks are
3:11
great and those are easily ones that we
3:13
suggest to a lot of people
3:14
on a regular basis and if you can find
3:16
those go get those you're going to be
3:17
happy with them and they're going to
3:18
serve their purpose but what if you run
3:20
into a situation where those chromebooks
3:22
aren't available anymore they're
3:23
sold out or inventory levels get low
3:25
again and prices skyrocket
3:27
how do you make a decision on what to
3:28
buy at that point well we want to offer
3:30
up three tips now for you
3:32
to actually look at spec sheets and kind
3:34
of look and see
3:35
exactly what it is you should buy and
3:36
what you should spend your money on tip
3:38
number one
3:39
pay attention to the processor
3:40
unfortunately there are resellers out
3:42
there and they're on amazon too that
3:43
will label older processors older
3:45
chromebooks as
3:46
new and made for 2020 and all this kind
3:49
of stuff
3:49
you need to know what you're looking at
3:51
so dive down into the spec sheet look
3:52
for the processor
3:53
most of these entry level chromebooks
3:55
are going to come with an intel celeron
3:57
processor that's fine but all intel
3:58
celerons aren't the same
4:00
what you want to look for is n4000 or
4:03
n4020
4:04
if it has a three in there if it's a
4:06
3450 or a 3050 or something like that
4:08
trust me
4:09
you don't want that unless they're
4:11
giving it to you for like less than 100
4:12
bucks
4:13
but if you're talking this hundred fifty
4:14
to two hundred fifty dollar range
4:16
you need to be looking for an n4000 or
4:18
an n4020 chip
4:20
that's going to give you a much better
4:21
performance for your dollar tip number
4:24
two you need to look at ram and internal
4:26
storage
4:26
most of these entry level chromebooks
4:28
are going to come with four gigs of ram
4:29
so
4:29
you're probably okay there just make
4:31
sure you don't end up buying something
4:32
with two gigs of ram trust me you don't
4:34
want to mess with that but you're also
4:35
going to see a lot of 32 or 64 gig
4:38
internal storage
4:38
and honestly if you're not paying
4:40
attention and you just go and grab the
4:41
first chromebook you see
4:43
you're likely going to buy one with 32
4:44
gigs of internal storage when
4:46
there might be a model with 64 gigs of
4:48
internal storage that cost the same or
4:50
less
4:50
they don't really label this stuff very
4:52
clearly so you're going to have to get
4:53
down there in the spec sheet and take a
4:55
look make sure and see
4:56
and compare and see that you're getting
4:58
the most storage for your dollars
5:00
finally tip number three
5:01
pay attention to the screen details now
5:03
it's
5:04
fair to note that most entry-level
5:06
chromebooks are going to come with what
5:07
are called tn panels
5:08
they're not going to label that stuff
5:10
they're not going to say anything about
5:11
the screen they're just going to give
5:11
you a resolution
5:13
you can usually assume that it's going
5:14
to be a lower end panel that doesn't
5:15
have good viewing angles and kind of
5:17
looks washed out off angle
5:19
and that's okay those screens get by
5:20
just fine and the chromebook will
5:22
function just like it needs to
5:23
but again just like with memory and
5:24
storage if you look a little closer
5:26
you might find a chromebook that's in
5:28
the same price range that has the same
5:30
internal stuff
5:31
and comes with something like an ips
5:32
display and if you look at the
5:34
specifications you'll usually either see
5:36
them saying has wide viewing angles
5:38
or they'll talk about some details about
5:40
the color gamut or something like that
5:41
or they'll just put that it's an ips
5:43
in-plane switching display and again if
5:45
you're looking for
5:46
a chromebook that's giving you the most
5:48
for your money
5:49
if you can find one that has an ips
5:51
display on it or has a touch panel on it
5:53
versus one that doesn't
5:54
or it has a higher resolution versus one
5:56
that has a lower resolution
5:58
it's worth your money to go ahead and
5:59
invest in the one that has the better
6:01
screen on it so that's it
6:02
three chromebook suggestions three quick
6:04
tips in the event that you can't find
6:06
those chromebooks and hopefully this
6:07
video has helped you out
6:08

6:12
