Hisense $149 Chromebook review – Watch out, iPad

This review contains a Chromebook, one that’s set to take the lowest end of the laptop market for a ride. For those of you that have a single tablet sitting on your coffee table for anyone to use, this Chromebook’s for you. If you’ve ever considered replacing the device you’ve been sharing from your pocket with one that sits on your mantle – this Chromebook’s for you. This is the Hisense Chromebook, and it’s simple. It’s also so inexpensive that you won’t cry (much) if your child destroys it. And what do you do with your hands when you’re just sitting around at home, watching TV? That’s right, fiddle around on the internet.

Hardware

This is the kind of Chromebook you buy on a whim. It has an 11.6-inch, LED backlit HD display. With 1366 x 768 pixels across its face, it’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer. But it looks decent.

Viewing angles are fine for a single person. Don’t bring this machine to a party expecting everyone to watch a TV show on it. It’s not going to work.

Inside you’ve got a Rockchip processor that brings enough processing power for basic Chrome OS functions. Browse the web, watch videos, play web-based games, you’ll be good to go. You’ll also be running with 2GB of RAM to keep you rolling.
