Lenovo launched the first Chromebook for $ 450

Lenovo is planning to release its first Chromebook to run Chrome OS to compete with previous series from Samsung and Acer.

Accordingly, the Lenovo ThinkPad X131e Chromebook will be equipped with Intel processors and an 11.6-inch LED screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. It also comes with 3 USB ports, HDMI and VGA outputs. Information on the blog Google said that it has a battery life of about 7 hours per charge and weighs about 1.81 kg. The design of the machine is quite robust with rounded corners and sturdy hinges.

The company also gives users additional options, including custom colors, engraved school logos and tagging services to keep track of school laptops. Customers will also work with the Google Apps for Education application package.

This is an improved version of the ThinkPad X131e, also developed by Lenovo for the previous school for $ 539.

Lenovo only plans to sell the ThinkPad X131e Chromebook for schools for $ 430 or more, starting December 26, while there is no information on whether or not the device will appear to the market. consumers. It is unclear what Lenovo's plan is for launching more Chromebooks in the future.

The price that Lenovo offers for its Chromebook is on par with that of the Chromebook 5 550 that Samsung introduced late last year. Introduced at CES 2013, the impressive point that Samsung products bring is the fast boot time with a compact design. Another advantage with Chromebooks is that users won't have to worry about viruses and face software installation.
