There is no question about the popularity of both and there are users who own both (i.e., an Apple device like iPhone and a Chromebook). Though not as easy to recommend for a shopper new to the chromebook space as the $179 2-in-1 model from last year, I think this device could represent a solid buy for experienced shoppers looking for a step-up model with one or more of the aforementioned features.ITunes has a user base of around 98 million and nearly 37.3 million Chromebooks were shipped in 2021. And most notably the 17" screen size remains a "premium" size in the chromebook space that can command a higher price (contrast this with some commodity Windows laptops where the 15.6" or 17" models are sometimes the cheapest option). The touch screen ensures the best compatibility/usability with Android applications. 1080p resolution is considered ideal for media consumption.
Lastly, the screen features a number of valuable items, particularly for the chromebook space. ChromeOS typically is a lightweight enough operating system to already work well with low-powered CPUs, but Jasper Lake delivered a new level of performance in the ChromeOS space and this example is the best Jasper Lake you can buy in a chromebook. Although still an Atom-based CPU, this is a 4-core Jasper Lake model. 8GB does facilitate more advanced usage of a ChromeOS device, making it easier/possible to, for example, run more advanced applications in the Linux sandbox within ChromeOS.Īnother premium feature is the CPU. Most mainstream chromebooks still arrive with 4GB of RAM, which isn't a problem for day to day browsing in ChromeOS. N6000 4-core Jasper Lake (Atom-based) CPU.
For those unfamiliar with the key features that drive this model into premium-ish chromebook territory, they include:
This isn't necessarily a radical discount relative to sub-$200 chromebook deals from the end of last year, but does represent a very good discount from the prior sale prices.
