Hidden away in the Asus Chromebook Flip C436 user manual is a nifty solution to carrying a digital stylus; a forthcoming pen from Asus will clip into the Chromebook’s microSD card slot.
Browsing: Intel 10th-gen
Acer kicked off the annual BETT education show in London by announcing the Acer Chromebook 712 on Monday. It’s ruggedized, has a 3:2 display and can be had with up a 10th-gen Intel Core i3 and 8 GB of memory.
Pre-orders for the base model Asus Chromebook Flip C436 are up on Amazon, with a February 24 release date. You can also drop $999 for a configuration that is closer to the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, due by March.
Additional details on the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook have surfaced including the number of configuration models, support for wideband audio over Bluetooth and more.
After spending 30 minutes with the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, I think most who part with $999 for it will be happy. Battery life is lower than I thought but the display, design and performance may make up for that.
With all of the hype about the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook yesterday, it was easy to overlook a new 2-in-1 from the same company: the Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 with included stylus, which starts at $360 when it launches in June.
The Asus Chromebook Flip C436 has broken cover at CES 2020 offering a familiar 2-in-1 form factor and new fingerprint sensor, plus the latest 10th-generation Intel Core processors.
Announced at CES 2020, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook pairs high-end hardware with the speed, security and simplicity of Chrome OS. This sleek 2-in-1 has a fingerprint sensor, stylus and 10th-gen Intel inside.
Chromebooks built on the Hatch baseboard will sport the full range of powerful 10th-gen Intel Comet Lake processors with up to 16 GB of memory, based on recent Geekbench test results.
Right on time to coincide with the Intel Comet Lake launch, the Drallion baseboard for future Chromebooks now references Intel’s new processors.
Drallion is the code-name for a new Chromebook board that should spawn both clamshell and 2-in-1 devices. There are code references to Intel’s Harrison Peak Wi-Fi 6 card as well as a “cml soc”. Could it be Comet Lake?
