Chromebook 13 Comes In Several RAM Models And Also Uses A Range Of Intel’s Core M Skylake Processors

As the name suggests, the 13-inch Chromebook features an aluminum chassis with a soft-touch material on the bottom, and the higher end models sport a crisp resolution of 3200 × 1800. If you want to purchase a lower-end model, we are sure that you will still be satisfied with a reasonable 1080p display that Chromebook 13 has to offer. In addition, where Apple’s 12-inch MacBook comes with a single Type-C USB port, Chromebook 13 doubles on that with two Type-C USB that can be used to charge the machine, transfer data across storage and it can also be used to connect a secondary display.
