It's that time of year again where we look at the growing, evolving Chromebook landscape and pick what we feel are the best devices out there for you to consider buying for yourself or a loved one. We're not messing with categories or any sort of grouping this time around; I simply want to give you the list of Chromebooks I think are flat-out the best you can buy.

well it's that time of year again where
0:02
we look at the growing evolving
0:04
Chromebook landscape and pick what we
0:06
feel are the best devices out there for
0:08
you to consider buying for yourself or
0:09
maybe for a loved one we're not messing
0:11
with categories or any sort of like
0:13
grouping this time around though I
0:15
simply want to give you the list of
0:16
Chromebooks I think are flat out the
0:18
best ones that you can buy prices are
0:20
always all over the place on these
0:22
Chromebooks so talking about things in
0:24
terms of like best value or best deal
0:25
isn't as applicable as it once was so
0:28
instead I've put together a list of the
0:30
seven Chromebooks that I'd personally
0:32
give to anyone asking me about
0:34
purchasing a new device right now each
0:36
of these devices offer up something a
0:37
bit unique and every single one is a
0:39
fantastic example of what a great
0:41
Chromebook is their prices on any given
0:44
day can range from $300 to $700 so I'm
0:46
not going to get deep into what each one
0:48
cost right now because it just can vary
0:50
so much from one day to the next instead
0:53
let's just take a wide angle look at my
0:55
seven favorite Chromebooks as 2024 comes
0:58
to a close
1:03
but before we get into that list I would
1:04
like to extend an invitation for you to

2:00
let's start things off with the Samsung
2:02
Galaxy Chromebook plus now these devices
2:05
aren't in any kind of order but I did
2:07
put this one first because currently
2:08
it's just my favorite uh since
2:10
completing the reviews we've had
2:12
lingering here at Chrome unboxed I
2:13
immediately jump back to the Galaxy
2:15
Chromebook plus as my daily driver and
2:17
have not looked back since the AMOLED
2:19
screen the responsive backlit keyboard
2:21
the massive glass trackpad the absurdly
2:24
thin light build of this Chromebook made
2:27
it one that I just love to use I love
2:29
picking it up I love putting in my bag
2:31
at the end of the day the 13th gen core
2:33
3 processor 8 gigs of RAM and 256 gigs
2:36
of storage means it can handle anything
2:38
I throw at it and the port selection is
2:40
really comprehensive too there's just so
2:42
much to like about the Galaxy Chromebook
2:44
plus and it's just super easy to
2:48
recommend in a similar fashion the Asus
2:50
expert book cx54 Chromebook plus is a
2:53
shining example of how to build an
2:55
impressive high-end Chromebook plus
2:57
model well not as wildly thin as the
2:59
Samsung it's still maintains a really
3:00
low profile it's built of all aluminum
3:03
and it comes packing some specs that
3:04
outdo nearly every other Chromebook on
3:06
the market you get a 14in 16 by10 screen
3:09
that hits 500 in of brightness it's QHD
3:12
120 htz it's got 8 gigs of RAM 128 gigs
3:15
of storage all in a chassis that houses
3:17
a huge glass trackpad a backlit keyboard
3:20
and all the ports that you could ask for
3:22
the webcam is 8 megapixels the core 5
3:24
Ultra processor is Crazy Fast and the
3:26
fingerprint scanner is just a nice
3:28
addition even at $99 on most days this
3:31
is a fantastic high-end Chromebook that
3:33
delivers one of the absolute best
3:35
experiences you can get in the chromeos
3:37
world right
3:39
now as they have done for every single
3:42
generation of this Chromebook Acer has
3:44
simply nailed it again with the latest
3:47
iteration of the spin 714 the all
3:49
aluminum chassis is rigid and wellmade
3:51
the backlit keyboard and ocean glass
3:53
trackpad or a treat to use the core 5
3:56
processor 8 gigs of RAM 256 gigs of
3:58
storage give you all the speed all the
4:00
space that you could ask for and the
4:02
14-in 16 X10 screen is gorgeous and
4:04
plenty bright at 350 nits oh and this
4:07
one converts to tablet mode as well and
4:09
has USI pen support and it's just easily
4:11
one of the best overall Chromebooks that
4:13
you can buy here in
4:16
2024 the Lenovo Chromebook duet 11in is
4:20
the latest in the long line of duet
4:21
tablets from Lenovo and it's easy to
4:23
call it the best yet taking what they've
4:25
done with the original duet and with the
4:27
duet 3 that followed it Lenovo has
4:28
continued to iter itate their way to a
4:31
superb allaround detachable Chromebook
4:33
the 11-in screen is just as stunning as
4:35
it was in years past the new pen slot
4:37
works like a charm the wild angled
4:40
kickstand feels inspired and the spill
4:43
resistant keyboard is the best that
4:44
they've ever shipped in a duet with the
4:46
compano 838 powering things under the
4:48
hood it's also the fastest duet we've
4:50
ever had and paired up with 8 gigs of
4:52
RAM and 128 gigs of storage you have a
4:55
potent little Chromebook tablet on your
4:56
hands that's an absolute joy to use on
4:58
the go or at the
5:01
desk one of my favorite Chromebooks for
5:04
the past couple years when it comes to
5:05
like versatility and price has been the
5:07
Acer Chromebook plus 516 G replacing the
5:11
original 516 G this new plus branded
5:13
version simply iterates a bit on what
5:15
made the original so good in the first
5:17
place this 16-in Chromebook is packed
5:19
with a fast Core 5 12u processor 8 gigs
5:22
of RAM 256 gigs of storage and the 16
5:25
X10 screen is one of my all-time
5:27
favorites at 120 HZ Quad HD 350 nits of
5:30
brightness it is fantastic for anything
5:33
you want to do on it including some game
5:35
streaming the RGB keyboard is brighter
5:37
than it was before the upward facing
5:38
speakers are louder than they were
5:39
before and the new all black chassis
5:41
just looks sweet and the whole thing
5:43
still weighs in at just 3.75 lb so if
5:46
you want a bigger Chromebook with all
5:48
the bells and whistles this one's
5:50
probably the one for
5:52
you the Asus Chromebook plus cx34 is the
5:56
poster child for iteration and the newer
5:59
model made moves in the right direction
6:00
for sure it's a standard 14-in
6:02
Chromebook with just enough specs to
6:04
make it Chromebook plus but the latest
6:06
update gives it some serious power under
6:08
the hood with an updated Intel Core i5
6:11
1335 U pair that up with 8 gigs of RAM
6:14
128 gigs of storage and the Striking
6:16
all-white chassis and you have a great
6:18
combo that's just $4.99 on a normal day
6:21
when it regularly dips down to around
6:23
350 it's a crazy deal that gets you a
6:25
lot of performance a lot of pleasing
6:27
Aesthetics and an added touchcreen for
6:30
not a lot of
6:33
money the Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook plus
6:36
is what I would consider one of the best
6:38
all-around Chromebook plus models
6:39
available for the price it doesn't stand
6:41
out with a bunch of like superlatives
6:42
and instead Gets By by just getting all
6:45
the basics right on a good budget Lenovo
6:47
went with the now popularized 16 X10
6:49
14in screen got it up to 300 nits and
6:52
combined it with solid internals decent
6:54
upward-facing speakers a solid keyboard
6:56
trackpad combo and just put it all in a
6:58
convertible chass that supports USI pins
7:01
it's been with us since late 2023 but
7:03
every time I think about a solid
7:05
well-rounded example of Chromebook plus
7:08
this one comes to mind and when it goes
7:10
on sale it always makes for a great
7:12
value proposition and that wraps up our
7:14
best Chromebooks of 2024 there are a lot
7:17
of options out there for you to buy for
7:19
yourself or for a loved one and it's my
7:21
sincere hope that this list drastically
7:23
helps you narrow those choices down a
7:25
bit there's not a device in this group
7:27
that I would be unhappy with and I feel
7:28
like that'll be the case for you as well
7:30
keep an eye out for deals on every one
7:32
of these models too because there's
7:34
always a deal just around the corner on
7:36
every one of these models but that's it
