Dell 11.6-inch Chromebook
Score: 59/100Rankings
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 2021 Dell 11.6" Convertible Chromebook is a rugged, lightweight 2-in-1 with good battery life and a touchscreen, but its tiny 16 GB storage and modest performance make it suitable mainly for basic educational use.
