Samsung Chromebook 4
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Samsung Chromebook 4 is an 11.6" budget-friendly Chrome OS device with a durable build, long battery life, and modern ports. Its modest specs-4 GB RAM and 32 GB eMMC-make it best suited for web-centric tasks and students, while the lack of a touchscreen and limited storage may deter power users.
The ASUS VivoBook L203MA is an ultra-slim 11.6" netbook with solid build quality and a comfortable keyboard, but its limited RAM, small eMMC storage and lack of a backlit keyboard keep it in the basic-use segment.
