Lenovo’s new Chromebooks are perfect for school kids
Now built for spills and falls
Recently, Lenovo unveiled three new Chromebooks tailored for the education market, and now at MWC 2018 in Barcelona, is making the trio of devices available to a wider consumer base.
The new Lenovo 100e, 300e, and 500e Chromebooks share the same features that made them popular in the classroom. As with most of Lenovo’s offerings, all three come with the Yoga 360-degree hinge for flexibility in form factor.
Like the classroom variant, the consumer-friendly devices can take a beating. They come fitted with rubber bumpers, reinforced ports and hinges, and spill-resistant keyboards. They are also drop-resistant from heights of up to 29.5 inches. Likewise, they come installed with Chrome OS.
The entry-level 100e Chromebook fits in the fundamental basics into an affordable price. It sports an Intel Celeron N3350 chip, 4GB of RAM, and 32GB eMMc of internal storage. Its 11.6-inch HD anti-glare screen churns out a 1366 x 768 resolution. The laptop’s 42Wh battery boasts up to 10 hours of runtime.
The Lenovo 100e Chromebook will be available starting in March. It will retail for US$ 219.

Meanwhile, the midrange 300e Chromebook enjoys a new feature: Lenovo’s Enhanced Touch. Unlike most touchscreens today, the 300e can use everyday writing implements as a stylus. In Barcelona, our team used an ordinary pencil in lieu of a stylus and it worked like a charm. We found it pretty impressive that the graphite on the pencil didn’t leave marks on the display (and nope you can’t flip the pencil around to erase your doodle).
The 300e rocks a MediaTek MTK 8173C chip, 4GB of RAM, and 32GB eMMc of internal storage. It comes powered by a 45Wh battery that can last up to 10 hours of usage.
The Lenovo 300e Chromebook is now available in authorized stores. It retails for US$ 279.

The Lenovo 500e Chromebook
Finally, the 500e Chromebook flaunts a responsive, pressure-sensitive EMR pen that fits snugly into a built-in compartment. The pen writing experience on this model, is closer to higher-end all-in-ones (vs the 300e) because of its pressure sensitivity. The pen boasts of lag-free writing, powered by predictive technology that tells where you’re about to write next.
Lenovo engineered the 500e with an Intel Celeron N3450 chip, up to 8GB of RAM, and 64GB eMMc of internal storage. It touts a front-facing camera, and its 42Wh battery churns out up to 10 hours of usage.
The Lenovo 500e Chromebook is now available everywhere. It retails for US$ 349.
