another Chromebook that does just a bit more with a touchscreen and some other fun features i'm dan ackerman and this is the lenovo n 20 p this oddly named Chromebook is almost like Lenovo's yoga line they have a yoga chromebook now in that it has a it has a touch screen and it also has a special hinge that's more flexible than usual it goes down like this and then it keeps going but unlike the yoga line it stops right here at 300 degrees and that lets you set it up kind of in like this kiosk mode or you could do it like this in kind of a table tent mode but it doesn't go all the way back just sort of the stand mode and the regular pc laptop world Lenovo calls that the flex line as opposed to the yoga line which does go all the way back let's see my kind of a cost-cutting move away to kind of differentiate one line from another lenovo also has a chrome book called the yoga that goes all the way back 360 degrees that's intended for the education market kind of thick and heavy and chunky and expensive like four hundred fifty dollars at least this guy is much more modestly priced this configures about 329 and it's thinner and lighter I consider this a pretty sharp-looking 11 inch laptop whether it was chrome or windows or anything else running chrome of course you have to be aware of what a Chromebook is and what it isn't it's basically an online only tool to get two different web services through the chrome web browser so if you use gmail or another webmail you know that's great netflix and hulu things like that work great if you need to install apps like let's say photoshop or something like that that's not going to work although there are usually online alternatives pixar is a good example of a web-based photo editing tool that's kind of like photoshop and can work in a pinch and of course you need to have access to Wi-Fi all the time pretty much to use this system otherwise it's just going to sit there and not go online and not do anything that said it's a little bit more expensive than some other basic Chromebooks so which can be you know two hundred two hundred fifty dollars rather than 329 for this but you do get a fairly nice build quality from Lenovo and you get there excellent keyboard and a pretty large touchpad which are definitely better than pretty much all of the Chromebook keyboard and touch pants I've tried so far dan ackerman and that is the Lenovo n 20 p
