I was looking for a few days for a Chromebook that was a decent step up from C340 specced variety that are ~$400ish at the moment.

It's been really hard to find good prices on Chromebooks - Carona + homeschool + not much from China I figure has driven prices up.

Came across this. Seems like hardware is better on almost all fronts.

CPU is considerably faster
8gb Ram.
64gb emmc
Higher res display

Also Umart have the lower specced version for $449.

    eMMC!

    nowadays mobile phones are using UFS2.0/2.1/3.0!

    • kevitkotw on 03/04/2020 - 00:31

      AFAIK virtually all the lower priced Chromebooks are using it.

      Kids cannot do homework on a phone either.

        with Samsung DEX or Huawei EMUI they can..

  • fantoo on 03/04/2020 - 00:44

    Was bit cheaper before.

    You might want to wait

      That was 4gb/32gb. This is 8gb/64gb

      • ozchobie on 03/04/2020 - 00:59

        yup and this has a better processor. I have a Samsung Chromebook that uses the same processor and it is very smooth.

        check the edit section

      Bought the same one back in January for $499 from Umart, $559 is still a decent price for this Chromebook considering the shortages.

    Great Chromebook and price is close to that $499 I also paid.

    Been using it as my main wfh laptop with two external screens.

    • BlinkyBill on 03/04/2020 - 08:50

      Yep was $499 in the new year, with the m5 version being $699. Oddly that is still $699 but the (probably) more popular m3 version has had a $60 price bump.

  • bchliu on 03/04/2020 - 08:45

    Processor is great on this along with the extra RAM.. much better than the other crap that seems to be standard on lower end Chromebooks. But not sure how well kids will treat these since it's not ruggedised and the screen/tablet mechanism looks a tad fragile.

  • revmacca on 03/04/2020 - 14:37

    Great 2 in 1, with caveats as a work machine . .
    Issues i have are no MS Intune, if your employer uses it and in Citrix i have scaling issues possibly due to the high resolution of the screen . .

  • MrScavenge on 05/04/2020 - 19:07

    Would this be decent to just wipe and install Ubuntu or another Linux version on this?

    • boxall on 05/04/2020 - 21:36

      As a Linux lover, I still need to ask why?

      • MrScavenge on 08/04/2020 - 22:37

        Chromebooks seem to have decent specs for their price, if I'm just going to wipe whatever the original OS is installed I want best specs for price

  • taoz on 05/04/2020 - 22:51

    Price has changed it seems

    • CVonC on 07/04/2020 - 08:10

      Yeah. Lower spec'd one is still $449 though
