The Chromebook market has certainly grown since the debut of Chrome OS. Initially, there were only very cheaply made devices on the market that weren't all that polished. Many of them struggled to really perform as one would expect of a desktop OS. But th...

We're a fan of the aluminum chassis and slate-like color of the Yoga Chromebook C630 but it can get cold to the touch. We're reminded of the way the Chromebook Pixel would feel cool on the exterior.As a whole, the body of the Chromebook is somewhat clinic...

Lenovo has taken the Chromebook concept and bundled it into a high-quality 15.6-inch convertible laptop with a 360-degree rotating screen hinge. There's even a 4K screen in the offing, although this is not available in the UK at the time of writing. The o...

Lenovo's Yoga Chromebook C630 may be a challenging option in an organisation where Windows is the primary platform, as it lacks the breadth of application support -- although it is possible to get Windows applications to run on Chrome OS. However, the Yog...

4K Chromebook. Chromebooks are known for their affordability and ease of use. Lenovo is changing the paradigm with the Yoga Chromebook C630, a relatively expensive Chrome OS that brings 4K to Chromebooks. The C630 packs a lot of power, but some compromise...

The Lenovo Yoga Chromebook C630 is a powerful 4K beast that ultimately proves to be too much for Chrome OS to tame. While the C630 is one of the most powerful Chrome OS laptops ever made, most of that power is overkill and hurts factors that make Chromebo...

The moment I pulled the Yoga Chromebook out of its box, it was covered in fingerprints. The lid was positively gross after a few minutes, with the keyboard, touchpad, and wrist wrest points soon following. It's a pretty laptop, but it does not maintain th...
Not unless you really, really need 4K on a Chromebook. I think the high resolution will be lost on many people, especially since 4K content remains far less common than 1080p.If, however, you want a large Chromebook that's powerful to do whatever it is yo...

I love the Lenovo Yoga C630, but the truth is that I wouldn't buy it for $939.99. I love it because I believe in Windows on ARM and I'm excited to see it in an actual convertible form factor, and also because I believe in 4G LTE connectivity on PCs. I als...
