Design and Screen

The laptop shows off an attractive and sleek design, which is not often the case for chromebooks. It is somewhat similar in size to the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air, but comes in slightly thicker at 19.3 millimetres.

Toshiba Chromebook 2 has a plastic chassis with silver finish and nicely curved corners. At around 1.35 kg, you should not find it too cumbersome carrying around. The upgraded Chromebook comes with a LED-backlit keyboard, which makes for comfortable typing in poorly-lit or dark settings.

Toshiba Chromebook 2 sports a 13.3-inch diagonal screen with a Full-HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, offering you impressive clarity. The IPS panel makes for decent wide-angle viewing. You may also get an HD display model for lesser price.

Power and Performance

Toshiba has opted to turn things up a notch in terms of performance by providing option of units powered by 5th-generation Intel Core i3 processor – only Intel Celeron processor was made available previously.

Responsiveness is further boosted with the supply of up to 4 GB of RAM. Being a chromebook, the laptop is powered by the lightweight Chrome OS, which is better suited for online use. Be aware that you will not be able to run native applications like Word and Excel since the operating system is browser-based.

Miscellaneous Specs

In addition to a quality display, Toshiba Chromebook 2 is fitted with superb speakers tuned by Skullcandy for a more immersive experience when watching movies. It will very likely have the same paltry onboard storage of 16 GB as the existing offerings, but you will be able to enjoy free ample storage on Google Drive for two years.

Battery life is expected to be around eight hours and 30 minutes. The Chrome OS-powered laptop features two USB ports (including one USB 3.0), but has no USB Type-C port. Toshiba Chromebook 2 also has an HDMI port, a full-size SD card slot and speedy Wi-Fi 802.11ac.
