Google Intros Chromebook Plus Devices With More Power, Apps and AI for $399 - Lemmy.world

The new Plus category of Chromebooks is an assurance that you’ll get a higher level of performance and features but still at a reasonable starting price. With Chromebook Plus, you’re guaranteed to get at least the following specs, with a starting price of $399: * 12th-gen Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen 3 7000 processor or better * 8GB or more of memory * 128GB or more of storage * 1080p-resolution IPS LCD or better * 1080p webcam with temporal noise reduction

128GB eMMC storage

Man, I feel like there’s no excuse for not having at least a 256/512gb SSD these days. They’ve gotten pretty cheap, and you got laptops like HP Pavilion having a 1tb SSD in their laptops for $450. Chromebooks are known for being super cheap, but this doesn’t look like great value.

Google wants you to not store locally though, only in their servers at a cost once you pass the “free storage” amount.
