Don't just look for the cheapest back to school deals. Here's how to make a quality Chromebook purchase for the kids
This basic budget HP Chromebook 14 is down to a terrific low price if you need a device for light use, such as general browsing and schoolwork. It offers a 14-inch display, impressive battery life, and decent performance thanks to the Chrome OS – all for under $200 at Best Buy's back to school sale. A bargain for students and those with basic needs.
There’s also the added benefit of the low RAM and memory not leaving much room for games, apps, and other distractions, while still being able to handle Google web apps such as Google docs that host through cloud storage. The latter is especially helpful for kids to do and share homework with each other.
Touchscreens are a feature that can be hit or miss while picking out a Chromebook. While the screen makes it easier for a child to interact with websites and other learning aides, many school lessons don’t require a touchscreen in order to remain accessible to other children without one, so you can skip the touchscreen and save some money here.
The most important feature of any high schooler’s Chromebook is its battery life. High school kids spend much of their day outside of the home and often times power outlets are few and far between, meaning a Chromebook with long battery life is worth its weight in gold. Luckily, long battery life is a trademark of most Chromebooks, with some even passing the 12-hour mark.
And some of the more premium options come equipped with a Core i5 or even a Core i7 CPU, which is more than enough to carry your child through a full four-year university degree.
