11 Best Chromebooks of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-12-15 18:30:00

The price for Chromebooks can range wildly, from $150 up to $800, and therefore the specs can 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.

How Supercomputing Will Evolve, According to Jack Dongarra

Quantum computing is interesting. It’s really a wonderful area for research, but my feeling is we have a long way to go. Today we have examples of quantum computers—hardware always arrives before software—but those examples are very primitive. With a digital computer, we think of doing a computation and getting an answer.
