I'm dan Ackman and we're here taking a look at the Toshiba Chromebook 2 earlier in 2014 we saw the Toshiba Chromebook that was a 13-inch Chromebook running Google's Chrome OS the first 13-inch model we saw it was a you know fairly chunky sized 13-inch laptop but it was inexpensive and had a big screen well now they shrunk it down the Chromebook 2 has the same 13 inch screen but actually in a much smaller looking body the back of the lid is flat rather than curved it's got some cool angles on it it's not a heck of a lot thinner but it actually feels like it is because it's a flat body versus a slightly rounded one the thing that really jumps out at me about this new model is the screen you can get an optional 1080p screen it's an IPS panel so you get really good off-axis viewing like this there's a standard you know non full HD panel available as well but I really like the look of this one audio they've partnered with Skull Candy much like other PC makers partner without their audio companies to get some tweaks to audio software and even audio hardware in here and that's something again you don't see really on the lower end of the market all that much we're gonna see this probably in October and it starts at 249 for the regular ngon HD screen and at 329 for this full HD screen and that's definitely one of the better-looking displays I've seen on a Chromebook or even a sub $500 laptop in awhile I'm Dan Ackerman and that is the Toshiba Cobell 2 you
