it’s not that great for productivity. That’s
where the big sibling C340-15 comes in.
Sporting the same aluminum lid, it then
stretches out to a 15.6-inch display and even
adds a numeric keypad for number-
crunching in Google Sheets or Office 365. It
also offers the option of a full-on Intel Core
processor, specifically the dual-core Core i3,
which should be more than enough power
for most browser-based work.
Unlike its smaller sibling the C340-
comes in just one color, but the weirdest
downgrade is this: just 4GB of RAM. I would
have expected more in a Chromebook
otherwise built to manage a bunch of online
spreadsheets. However, this might have been
a move to shave costs.
Available in October with a starting price
of $430, the C340-15 will have these specs
