Here Are a Bunch of New IntelBased Chromebooks for 2014
Intel and Google recently partnered up for an event in San Francisco that could safely be referred to as a Chrome-splosion of sorts. See, Intel understands that Chromebooks  Google's low-cost, browser-based laptops  are here to stay. Problem is, some of the recent crop of Chromebooks have been using non-Intel processors. In an effort to get the pendulum to swing back in Intel's direction, the processor giant is upping its Chromebook lineup from a paltry four models in late 2013 to a whopping 20 to be trotted out over the course of this year. You'll have plenty to choose from, in other words. You'll also need to opt for a Celeron-based model or a Core i3-based model when choosing a Chromebook. The Celeron models will generally be cheaper and able to last longer on a charge  Intel is promising up to 11 hours  while the Core i3 models will be more powerful no 11-hour battery life promises, though. Here's a look at what was just announced, starting with the Celeron models and finishing up with the Core i3 selections. Just to make things interesting, we'll throw the Chromeboxes in the middle, which use Haswell-based Celeron chips more powerful but less energy efficient than Bay Trail Celeron chips and most closely resemble desktop computers.
