A good Chromebook is not much different from regular laptops, while the best of them can be even nicer than Windows.
So if you want a good Chromebook, take a look at the following.
Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5
$410

The Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 13″ is an excellent Chromebook, and the top pick on our list of the best. In addition to being a gorgeous laptop, the recommended model offers faster performance than most Chromebooks under $500.
Most cheap Chromebooks are slow with just a few tabs open, but the Flex 5 can handle the workload, which is why it's the top choice when it comes to the best Chromebooks.
Lenovo has also released a slightly cheaper model with a Celeron 5205U processor and half the storage, but most people will be better off spending a little more for the faster performance and double the storage. However, the cheaper model is a good option if the i3 model isn't available.

| Memory: | 4GB | Weight: | 2.97 pounds |
| Storage: | 64GB SSD | Tested battery life: | 10 hours |
Acer Chromebook 714
$517

If the Flex 5 isn't available, we recommend the Acer Chromebook 714 CB714-1W-P5SR. While there are better Chromebooks out there, it's good enough for everyday office work and schoolwork, thanks to its solid performance and decent keyboard, trackpad , battery life , and display.

If you want to pay more for a smaller, lighter, and faster Chromebook with longer battery life, you can opt for the next best laptop in this category, the Google Pixelbook Go.

Acer Chromebook 712
$300

If you want a Chromebook for young children and want it to be cheaper and more durable than other options, we recommend the Acer Chromebook 712 (C871-C85K).
It should be quite fast, unlike most Chromebooks in this price range, which are painfully slow, and it features a sturdy build and a spill-resistant keyboard
| Processor: | Intel Celeron 5205U | Screen: | 12-inch 1366×912 non-touch |
