Lenovo makes some excellent value for money
Chromebooks and the company has just refreshed its portfolio with three new
models with Intel processors today. The smallest and also likely the most
affordable will be the Lenovo Chromebook C340-11. The second one is the Lenovo
Chromebook C340-15 which is the most powerful model and a third one labelled
Lenovo Chromebook S340-14 which is kind of something in the middle. Prices of
all the three models have not been revealed yet.

pixel touchscreen 360-degree convertible display and is powered by an Intel

onboard storage. In terms of ports, you get two USB 3.1 Type-A ports, two USB-C

processor is an Intel Celeron N4000 processor . Details about RAM isn’t clear

x 1080 pixel touchscreen with a full 360-degree hinge. The processor is an
