Lenovo Chromebook Plus

Strengths

This is a massive package when it comes to, uh, uh, Chromebooks and and Chromebook plus. And Google talked about all sorts of different features.
The screen looks awesome. This trackpad feels great. The keyboard is back lit as well. You've got all the extra function keys that um, you know, we saw last year with the new Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus.
For 100 bucks more, if that storage discrepancy is there, you're talking about double the storage, four extra gigs of RAM, and a touchcreen for 100 bucks. And so, uh, at 650 or 750, this is a a massive package when it comes to, uh, uh, Chromebooks and and Chromebook plus.
I like everything I'm seeing, uh, about this Chromebook right now. Man, that looks great. U, again, I'm really hungry. So, that looks that looks really good.
