Lenovo's 100S Chromebook keeps things cheap and simple

2016-01-28
starting its just 199 Villanova 100 risk Chromebook is one of the cheapest ways to stay connected but this laptop is running Chrome OS and your options start to get really limited once you stray away from Wi-Fi now the Nevel knows how to make a good keyboard and the one here doesn't disappoint it's roomy so your fingers won't feel cramped and the keys offer a nice amount of feedback in depth with every press no typing mistakes here Chrome OS has different shortcut than you might be used to so the keyboards loud is gonna be a little different but it works well if your needs are simple the 11.6 inch screen has a 1366 by 768 pixel resolution that's not great but it's right in line with the price there's an SD card slot on the side for importing photos or if we're using it as a bit of extra storage as well as a pair of USB ports for external devices but the laptop only is 32 gigs of internal storage space and 2 gigs of ram now that isn't very much at all but that's kind of the point you use the limited storage for any files you want to keep close at hand offline and you'll keep the rest of your stuff up in the cloud performance it does take a hit though now when I'm using Chrome I have a habit of firing up a lot of tabs and this machine starts to get a bit sluggish if there's a little more room in your budget the 229 model doubles the RAM up to 4 gigs which should make things a little less painful now you're definitely getting what you pay for here read my review to find out the trade-offs are worth it I'm Nate thanks for watching
