The Hisense Chromebook
Hisense's first Chromebook is cheap, yet chic. Designed with students and budget shoppers in mind, it's compact, portable and inexpensive.
This is just one of several new low-cost Chromebooks released with a partnership with Google.
Textured design
The computer has a plastic build, with a textured top cover that's easy to grip. It does however pick up a lot of fingerprints and smudges.
Thin and trim
The laptop has a low profile, at 11.7 inches across and 0.6 inch thick.
Compact build
With the lid closed, the laptop is still thin and easy to tote around.
No heft here
This Chromebook weighs 3.3 pounds (1.2kg).
Full-sized keyboard
You get a full-sized, wide keyboard, but the keys feel mushy when you type.
Metal trackpad, plastic key
Though most of the machine is plastic, there's a metal trackpad and palm rest.
Left side ports
The Chromebook has two USB ports, one on each side, and an HDMI port. The left side has the charging port as well.
Right side ports
On the right, there's a microSD card slot and a headphone jack.
Internal guts
Inside, it has a Rockchip 3288 processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. There's also an ARM Mali 760 quad-core graphics chip.
Chrome inside
True to its name, this laptop is running Chrome OS.
Always online
With Chrome OS, you'll need to be online to do most tasks, since all of the programs run through the Chrome browser.
Charger
The laptop gets its power from a proprietary charger.
