If you’re not fussed about touch interactions or running touch-centric Android apps, an almost identical, non-touchscreen model could be yours for £60 less. The Chromebook 314 isn’t a convertible, although it has a touchscreen you can push back flat against the desktop. Acer Chromebook 314 (NX.AWGEK.003) review: Design Plus, while it’s now getting a bit long in the tooth, the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet is a cracking little Chromebook convertible, albeit with a smaller 10.1in 1080p touchscreen. Acer’s own Chromebook 315 ( £299) has a similar screen and specification, while HP has the x360 14b-na0500sa, which upgrades the CPU to a Pentium Silver N5030 and still crams in a 14in 1080p touchscreen. The Asus C523 can now be found for around £250 to £300 and, while it has a Celeron CPU, it has a 15.6in Full HD screen.

It’s not that the manufacturer always gets it right – we’ve seen enough Acer Chromebooks saddled with a ropey screen or a woefully slow CPU – but when it does it hits a near perfect balance between price, features and performance, which is a whole lot trickier than it sounds.
