The IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook has an RGB-backlit keyboard with 100% anti-ghosting keys and a 120Hz IPS display, both hallmarks of budget and entry-level gaming laptops. There isn’t a lot that makes this Lenovo Chromebook a “gaming” Chromebook, but it’s still a reasonably-priced knockout of a laptop.

However, there's an option out there for everyone. Not only is it powerful but it also has a beautiful well-built chassis, a comfortable keyboard, and a killer touchscreen. If you just want the cream of the crop, it's the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook ( available at Walmart for $529.99). Since they exclusively run web-based applications (instead of storing them locally) they're also at lower risk for security issues.

Chromebooks, known for their low prices and long battery life, offer an excellent and affordable alternative to traditional laptops.Ĭhromebooks are ideal for light usage, which is why they've made such a dent in the education market. But you don't necessarily need to spend a fortune to get a laptop to see you through your daily tasks. Whether you're a college freshman or an experienced office professional, you're going to need a decent laptop. Written by Whitson Gordon, Adrien Ramirez, and Joanna Nelius
