The best Chromebook laptops

A clear frontrunner of this year's Chromebook lineup, the ASUS Chromebook Flip is a wonderfully affordable, yet impressively speedy laptop under £1,000 that is quite capable of handling your daily computing tasks.

Not lacking in RAM at 16GB, nor CPU power with an 11th-generation Intel CPU, the ASUS Chromebook Flip is a downright brilliant deal with its mighty hardware specs alone, but when paired with its touchscreen, rest assured, you're getting a bargain.

For those looking to store a colossal amount of files, however, the Chromebook Flip might disappoint somewhat - it only has 256GB of SSD storage, so you might want to start using Google Cloud.

Swift, yet slim and lightweight - the ultra-responsive Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 Chromebook is a remarkable laptop deal that's bound to boost your on-the-go productivity almost instantly.

Whether you're sitting snug in bed, or you're fixated on your screen, hunched at your office desk - you'll find the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 highly accommodating to practically any task.

Sketch, watch movies or scroll through your socials at the flick of your wrist with Lenovo's buttery-smooth touchscreen, and with the Flex 3's 8GB of RAM, you'll face no issues with slow startup or bloated browsers.

As for battery life, you can comfortably browse all day without the need for a charger, all thanks to the IdeaPad Flex 3 Chromebook's nine-hour battery life, keeping you powered up when you need it the most.

Tablet, laptop, or somewhere in-between, the HP Chromebook is an incredibly versatile laptop that's essential for total touchscreen comfort that isn't bogged down by performance lag.

Responsive, seamless and striking visually, the Chromebook x360's full-fledged touchscreen allows for wonderfully versatile note-taking, as well as delightful film-bingeing in your downtime.

A great battery life, a reliable 8GB of RAM and a tough 11th-generation i3 processor, the HP Chromebook x360 is perfect for students in need of a note-taking machine, or creative project hobbyists with its ample power.

Perfect for artsy students and budding hobbyists alike, the ASUS CX54 Chromebook is the ultra-lightweight answer to your graphic design woes.

Gorgeously thin and well-made, this sturdy, yet sleek Chromebook laptop includes a spectacular stylus pen, which feels perfectly responsive and life-like. With a whopping 512GB of SSD storage, the ASUS CX54 also makes for a perfect device for saving those large projects.

As for its RAM and CPU capabilities, the standard 8GB of RAM might seem disheartening to the devoted tech nerd, but the ASUS Chromebook CX54 quickly makes up for it with its simply phenomenal Intel i7-1160G7 CPU, a breathtaking CPU that'll give you plenty of speed and multitasking capabilities.

ASUS's CX54 Chromebook is an exemplary laptop for schoolwork, and with plenty of processing power for design software, alongside Word, Excel and more - you'll never find yourself slowed down by an underpowered laptop again.

It's rare to find such a visually gorgeous budget laptop for less than £1,000 - but the Lenovo IdeaPad is precisely that Chromebook. The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Chromebook is everything you could possibly want out of a Chromebook laptop, with no shortage of hardware grunt and pretty aesthetics to entice any tech addict.

A 16-inch 2.5K screen, a four-zone backlit keyboard and a gorgeous metal chassis comprise this magnificent Chromebook, giving it a seamlessly durable feel that'll last a considerable amount of time.

But the IdeaPad 5's 2.5K screen isn't the only thing to rejoice over, far from it - there's also a whopping 12th generation Intel i5 CPU, 512GB of SSD storage and 8GB of RAM. Yes, there may not be any touchscreen capabilities to speak of, nor any folding - but what the IdeaPad 5 Chromebook lacks in versatility, it most certainly makes up for with hardware heft.

For the early riser in need of a light Chromebook for their commute, who doesn't need the extra heft of a full-size laptop to lug, the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 11-inch Chromebook is the absolute bargain-of-the-century solution to your back pain.

This small, yet mighty Chromebook laptop for under £300 might not have heaps of onboard storage, nor a wealth of RAM - but with Google's Chrome cloud technology, you really won't miss it.

Integrate your precious work seamlessly with the cloud, not only giving you boundless space for studying and work projects but also enabling easy access for yourself and your fellow coursemates should you need their assistance.

With the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3's excellent 12 hours of battery life, you'll never find yourself short on battery life when it truly counts ever again.
