The Chromebook is equipped with one USB port, a round webcam, a touchpad, and has 2GB system memory and 16 GB storage capacity. Furthermore, the display screen is 1280x800 resolution and the screen size is 12.1 inches. It is easy to travel with and can be converted into tablet function.
Some of the low quality aspects of the Chromebook are the short battery life, the insufficient internet connection, the absence of a DVD and CD player, and poor speaker performance.
