![]() I’d still recommend going with the Core i3 version, but this Pentium Gold model is definitely interesting as well if you’re shopping at a sub $300 budget. This late-2021 update gets an Intel 11th gen Pentium Gold 7505 hardware platform with 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of eMMC storage, so is not as snappy as the Core i3 ChromeBook Flex 5 variant (which we’ll discuss further down), but it sells for ~$70 to $100 less at the time of this update. Update: Recently, Lenovo also unveiled an updated and more affordable version of their popular 13-inch Chromebook Flex 5. Now, as far as our actual recommendations go in this segment, there’s one option that clearly steps out of the crowd, and that’s the Lenovo Chromebook Duet. There are however some exceptions that are partially made out of metal, include IPS screens or even a touchscreen, and those are what I’d primarily look into. Hardware aside, keep in mind that many of the options in this section are still plastic-made clamshell Chromebooks with matte screens and mediocre quality TN LED panels, non-backlit keyboards, and basic IO. To keep things simple, I’d recommend getting a device with at least an Intel Apollo Lake (Celeron N3350) or preferably a Gemini Lake processor (Celeron N4020/4010 or Pentium N5000), or an AMD/Mediatek equivalent, at least 4 GB of RAM, and at least 32 GB of storage (preferably 64 GB). Specs are definitely important at this level, as even if you’re after a basic Chromebook, you’ll still want something that can actually smoothly handle basic tasks.
