There are many laptop users, especially students, who have very low performance expectations from their devices. For such people, Chromebooks are a viable option as long as they can live with the limitations of ChromeOS. Lenovo's recently launched Chromebook Plus 2-in-1 seems to be a perfect fit for such people, with commendable processing power in its class.

The Lenovo Chromebook Plus 2-in-1 can be equipped with up to the Intel Core 7 processor, paired with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X memory. The base variant ships with 128 GB of eMMC storage, while the higher-tier variants can be equipped with up to a 512 GB SSD. As the name suggests, the device sports a 360º hinge, allowing it to function both as a laptop, and a tablet. The device is MIL-STD-810H certified, along with a spill-resistant backlit keyboard.

At the front, a 14-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 sits underneath a 5 MP front camera with a built-in privacy shutter. Considering the laptop's 2-in-1 functionality, it is no surprise that the display is touch-enabled, with support for the Lenovo USI Pen 2 (currently $40 on Amazon). At just under 3.3 lbs, the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 2-in-1 is easy to carry around, and its 50 Wh battery allows for a claimed 11-hour battery life. The port selection is admirable as well, including dual USB-A, dual USB-C, HDMI, as well as a microSD card reader. Wireless connectivity is taken care of by Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3.

There's no word yet on pricing or availability, but the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 2-in-1 will likely be on the pricier end of the spectrum given the features on offer. However, as a Chromebook, this laptop can safely be expected to be affordable enough.
