Toshiba's Updated Chromebook 2 Comes With i3 Processor

Toshiba announced two updated versions of its Chromebook 2 will be available next month.

The 13-inch laptops come with full HD screens and will be available with either an Intel Celeron or i3 processor, with up to 4GB of RAM. Both versions of the machine will include a "new, LED backlit keyboard."

The laptop weighs 2.9 pounds and is "engineered to fit a 13.3-inch display in a 12-inch body," according to Toshiba. It also includes front-facing speakers from Skullcandy.

Seeing as how it's a Chromebook, the machine runs ChromeOS, so if you're OK with saving money and buying a computer that isn't running Windows 10 or Apple OS X, the laptop's a pretty decent value. The Celeron version of the updated Chromebook 2 will cost $329 and the i3 model will run you $429.

Buying the Chromebook 2 will also get you 100 GB of free Google Drive storage, which is good since any secondary memory on a Chromebook is used exclusively for the OS, and not for local file storage.
