Its Intel Celeron N3450 quad-core processor handles everyday tasks rather than heavy editing or processing. 4GB of RAM for web browsing, Google Docs, and streaming video, with minimal slowdown.
The storage capacity is small at 32GB, but because Chrome OS keeps most files in the cloud, a smaller drive fills more slowly than it would on Windows.
An 11.6-inch, 1366×768 touchscreen with IPS technology makes up the display, so colors and viewing angles hold up better than a typical budget panel. The laptop connects via WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 for accessories and file transfers.
Chrome OS offers automatic background updates, built-in security, and access to Google’s apps and the Google Play Store.
At 3.2 pounds, the 300e is light enough to move between rooms with little hassle, and it has a built-in webcam ready for video calls.
Why does this computer have a 71 percent discount? Its Grade B refurb rating means it may have light scuffing on the case or light scratches and dents on the body, though everything inside is confirmed to work as it should.
