  Dual-core Atom plus TN or 720p displays, the ideal combination to really bring back the feeling of being incredibly frustrated using a computer.

    Come on the Gemini lake celeron chips ain’t that bad for chrome os. (Currently using quad core version for windows 10)

      The quad core ones are both higher clocked AND twice the physical cores.

      Windows 10 is definitely heavier, but not more than 100% heavier than modern Gnome/Cinnamon etc (I dual boot with Mint, with Mint as my primary OS).

      Better off getting a used Haswell Dell Latitude or HP Elitebook for $250 on TradeMe and putting whatever OS you want on there and a fully fledged SSD.

      And no matter how light the OS is, the modern internet still suffers with a slow single thread because it's all JavaScript.

        should be similar to the ARM based ones?

          @Zyo: Exactly.

          Terrible.

          I would wish one on my worst enemy if we had to compete in something computer related.

        ChromeOS is actually pretty light, lighter than a gnome based build in my experience. But I'll agree with you a second hand haswell is better bang for you buck for pure performance. But the this deal is still not bad if you want brand new, need decent battery life, want a touchscreen(for the more expensive one) and ChromeOS is fit your expected usage(to be honest for most people whom primarily use a computer for internet usage and the occasional document/spreadsheet, it's just fine). Plus if it's part of your school curriculum even better. From an admin pov Chromebooks do make it easy.

  How does the c340 compare to the 300e or 500e?
  Doesn’t look as rugged for education?

  And why did Lenovo get rid of the lead pencil feature on the 300e :)

    Newer version of the same thing but x86. Experience should be identical.
