September 2015 update. When it comes to inexpensive notebooks, devices with Google's Chrome OS have carved out a niche in the market. Chromebooks are usually a good choice for people who don't want to spend a lot of money, although they do require a permanent connection to the Internet to get the most out of them. In this article we'll introduce the best models.

The data for the Toshiba Chromebook 2 is wrong. You are comparing the previous model, that has a very low quality screen. In the screen comparison above you state that it has a brightness of 256 cd/m2, yet in your test you find it to be 378 cd/m2.

When this list is being published on 12/27/17 it is so outdated as to be useless!  It's missing the two leading products released in 2017: The Samsung Chromebook Pro and the Asus Flip CS 302.  Though some of the models in your list are decent products and are still being produced, you should not publish a list so out of date when it would so badly misinform an uninformed reader as to what the market offers.  It is equivalent to printing a list of the top smartphones and omitting the Apple X and 8 and Samsung S8 and Note 8.  What were you thinking?!!

The HP Chromebook 13 G1 should be omitted so as to avoid promoting products that use PenTile RG/BW displays. PenTile RG/BW is a deceptive marketing practice in which displays are produced with only RG or only BW in every other denoted pixel, instead of RGB in every pixel. This is so that companies can list high resolutions in product specifications, without putting the cost-of-production budget towards the real parts. You deal with lower battery life and other tradeoffs of a high resolution, without getting the full resolution in exchange for it.

This is the most outdated article in the technology world!

An article from 2015 with minor edits trying to tell us what Chromebooks are!

Chromebooks today can work perfectly offline, they run full Linux apps like LibreOffice and GIMP and Android apps too!

This is pure disinformation!

You guys need to update the description.  Chromebooks are now commonplace and can connect to USB devices, Print, and run the MS Office suite.  Sure there are still some things they can't do and my girlfriend occasionally has to borrow my Surface Laptop to run certain proctoring programs to take tests for school, but none of the limitations you mention are still true.

The latest Chromebooks from Acer are really good. I think they have a really good Mediatek chipset and powerful battery backup as well.

OMG! Did this round up really miss the mark!!

Almost all the 'inexpensive' Chromebooks are OVER $900USD!!! LOL!!!

Equally down right silly is the CPU's+RAM+Storage tossed at these devices.

IMHO: A 'good' Chrome device ought to be less than $400 if not less than $300.

(forgetting for the moment that $150-200 is the ideal price range for a 'inexpensive' computing device to give to children)
