10 Best Chromebooks of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-08-18 16:30:00

The price for Chromebooks can range wildly, from $150 up to $800, and therefore the specs can also vary. Processor: For the best experience, you should avoid older Chromebooks with Intel Celeron processors. The Chromebook Plus specifications offer a good baseline to guarantee speedy performance, and I’d recommend going with at least an Intel Core i3, Core i5, or AMD Ryzen 3 7000 processor.

Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 Review: A Game-Changer

Amazingly, the base configuration has 12 GB of RAM.

Meanwhile, the base configuration comes with 128 GB of storage, and the upgraded model has a 256-GB solid state drive. Performance is solid.

I always install Chrome Beta on all my Android phones; here’s why

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-21 09:30:47

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s been more than 13 years since Chrome first launched on Android. Fundamentally, the app hasn’t changed much in all these years: I type a URL and the page loads up. In all these years, though, Chrome hasn’t caught up with the rest of Google’s apps in one key feature: multiple account support. Most of the official Google apps let me quickly switch between different Google accounts, and they have done that for many years now, since 2010-2011, to be precise.
