The touchscreen display can rotate 360-degrees, so it’s simple to get comfy to watch movies, take online classes, or stream content. The Chromebooks are a different kind of computer with enough memory (4 GB) and storage (64 GB) installed but without the long boot-up time and complex operating system. It uses the Google Chrome operating system, so you log in to your Google account and then you’ve got access to all your stuff as photos and documents are stored in the cloud. We love that it has so many built-ins like Bluetooth, a camera, virus protection, and a bunch of USB ports.

It's a tablet too

The over 10-inch high definition touch screen is detachable from the keyboard, letting you use the setup that works the best for your child. We love the parental controls. Download the app and control how much time your kids spend online and which apps and programs they’re using. Did you know you can approve or deny your child’s access to the internet? You can turn it off at mealtime or bedtime, too. Ah, isn’t it nice to have something in your control?

Don’t let the color fool you, this entry-level laptop means business. The preloaded Windows 10 Operating System gives you access to all the free apps they’ve got. The powerful CPU, the Intel Atom 64-bit, high-efficiency processor allows for faster processing than most entry-level laptops. 2 GB of RAM and 32GB of storage round out this easily portable and lightweight laptop. We like the flash-memory card port, so transferring photographs and documents is a snap.

The big, anti-glare screen makes all your projects easy to see. The good-sized 256 GB drive is Opal Encrypted, so your storage is encrypted for more security. With 8GB of RAM and dual-band wireless, VGA (Video Graphics Array) it’s good for graphics and non high-demand gaming. We like this high caliber laptop with quality that is built to last.

Four convertible modes

The thin design is a laptop and a tablet and folds over like a tent to stand on the table or desk.

We love how this model supports all your fave USI styluses. Just another great way to create and play with this 14-inch touchscreen laptop. We love the edge-to-edge glass screen with WLED (White Light Emitting Diode) backlighting. The Intel Celeron chip supports all your word processing needs, and this Chromebook gets you access to the millions of apps in the Google Play store. Everyone appreciates a battery that can last up to 12 hours. We love the Chromebook for kids, which is why we’ve included two of these great products.
