Higher-end price gets you a solid machine with the proper specs and 9 hours of battery
Following up on an initial announcement at CES 2014, Toshiba has put its first Chromebook offering up for sale at its online store. Coming in at $299 it's more expensive than the $279 price point we were told back in January, but isn't far out of the realm of what Chromebooks being sold at currently.
For that price you're getting a relatively run-of-the-mill looking laptop with a silver plastic frame, 13.3-inch 1366x768 display, an Intel Celeron 2955U processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB SSD, USB 3.0 and SDcard ports and all other standard appointments you expect for this class of device. Packing a larger screen than many of its competitors the Toshiba CB30-A3120 (great name) comes in at 3.3 lbs, which is a bit hefty but also gives it an expected 9 hours of battery life.
If you're interested in checking out one of these new Toshiba Chromebooks — we certainly thought it was a pretty nice machine back at CES — you can do so direct from Toshiba at the link below. You'll even get free shipping.
