A good Chromebook can do almost anything a regular laptop can do. The best models can even feel better to use than their similarly priced Windows counterparts. And for any back-to-school shoppers out there, we think Chromebooks are a particularly good choice for students and kids.
After testing nearly every Chromebook released over the past 11 years, we’ve got a few new favorites to recommend, including a new top pick with a spacious touch display and a long battery life.
