Best Chromebook Reviews 2022

ASUS is an internationally-acclaimed Taiwan-based developer and manufacturer of consumer electronics and computer hardware. It was established in 1989—a period that was yet to see Taiwan establish itself as a force in the computer industry. Intel used to send its processor prototypes to a particular company to be tested on its computers, while computer companies in Taiwan had to wait about six months before they got the processors. Well, all that changed when ASUS, being the forward-thinking company that it is, approached the processor maker with a motherboard that it had made for one of Intel's processors without having even seen the thing. Intel seized the opportunity to ask ASUS about a problem it was having with one of its motherboards; a mutual back scratching was done and Intel discovered that the motherboard ASUS had built for a processor it had never seen actually worked pretty well with the processor—no modifications were needed. A mutually beneficial arrangement was made and ASUS has been receiving Intel samples before its competitors ever since.

The ASUS Chromebook Flip has been described in many quarters as the best Chromebook for professional and casual use. It has a chassis that is made of aluminum metal and a pair of robust hinges which allow the Chromebook to be opened all the way back so that it can be used as a tablet whenever you want it. Thanks to the sturdiness of the hinges, it can also be used in tent and stand modes without any troubles.

It’s powered by a 2.2-gigahertz Intel Core processor and has a 4-gigabyte RAM which means that you can open and smoothly operate many tabs on your device at a time—good news for multitaskers. Its startup time is significantly shorter thanks to its super-fast processor. Further, with a 0.5-inch profile and a 2.65-pound weight, not only is this Chromebook super-thin, it's also lightweight. A great combination for those of us who agree that light is right. This classic piece of computing beauty can be carried without the stress or the fear of going on an unplanned muscle-building session.

Other features include:

• Battery life of 10 hours so that you can work or play anywhere, anytime
• 12.5-inch full HD display for a brighter watching experience
• Anti-glare features to protect your eyes from reflecting light rays
• A responsive touchscreen to be enjoyed in laptop or tablet mode
• Palm rejection on keyboard to detect only fingertip contact and prevent accidental cursor movement

Don’t forget to decide on which of its configurations is best for; there are three to choose from. Take a look!

Samsung is a brand that has acquired a lot of feathers to its hat. It was founded as a trading company by Lee Byung-chul in the year 1938. It soon began to diversify its interests into other areas including insurance, securities, food processing, retail, textiles, etc. Towards the end of the 1960s, it made its first and fateful foray into the electronics market and has been on an upward journey ever since. It's a highly decorated brand and some of its achievements include: 10-year run as number 1 TV brand in the world, Interbrand's 7th world's most valuable brand in 2014—and in 2017 alone, it has won over a hundred and twenty awards at the Consumer Electronics Show.

Google is a company that is bold, inventive, and which does everything in a fun, unconventional way. It was started in two Stanford University dorm rooms by founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brinn. The goal was to organize all the world's information in one place where it would be accessible to whoever needed it. The company soon outgrew the dorm rooms and a garage, and soon made its home in the Googleplex in California. It's a company with over sixty-thousand employees and has a vast product offering that includes Android, YouTube, and Google Search.
