Toshiba Chromebook 2: A Feast for the Eyes

We often complain about the effects of the race to the bottom – the race to the lowest possible price, regardless of what effect that has on overall quality. For more than a decade we've seen very little in the way improvements in display quality on...

I have to admit that when I first saw the pricing on the Toshiba Chromebook 2, I was skeptical. When you have $200 (and sometimes less) alternatives like the Acer C720 floating around, and with a lot of Chromebook users going that route due to pricing...

Toshiba Chromebook 2 CB30-B Review

Successful follow-up. A bright IPS screen in Full HD resolution, over 7 hours of battery life and a noiseless device starting at less than 400 Euros (~$444) is here for the taking. However, Toshiba's new lineup totters in terms of stability and...

Bright Full HD screen, IPS display, System performance, Fan-less design

Keyboard's drop, Restrictions in the OS, Matte screen only available with low resolution

The manufacturer has successfully launched on the market a solid Chromebook in the form of the Toshiba CB30. We observed just as many positive as negative aspects throughout our tests. Starting with the casing, we can call the feel, the low weight and...

Toshiba CB30-A3120 Chromebook Review

The Toshiba CB30-A3120 Chromebook is a good addition to the Chromebook family, offering a strong ChromeOS experience despite a poor screen and construction. Keep reading to see what we like about this budget laptop.

Cheap ; Portable ; Good battery life ; ChromeOS

Dim, low-resolution display ; Subpar touchpad ; Poor speakers

Review Toshiba Chromebook CB30-102 Notebook

For grandpa. Not interested in Windows? Chrome OS is the alternative offered on this laptop. No complicated hardware settings; just open it up and start surfing. Does Toshiba do a good job with this non-Windows concept?

Very light, Excellent battery life, Good application performance, Very inexpensive, Ideal for beginning computer users, Chrome OS has matured. Surfing, handling files and Google Drive, multimedia -- everything works right from the start

Cheap construction, TN display with weak viewing angles, Below-average keyboard, High-pitched, clanging speakers, Low webcam quality, If it is a surfing machine, why not equip it with decent input devices? More feedback would have done the keys a world...

Toshiba Chromebook 2 Review: A Quick Look At The One Chromebook To Rule Them All

I recently decided to replace an ancient laptop. In this Toshiba Chromebook 2 review I'm going to explain why this was the one Chromebook to rule them all.

That Screen, it's incredible

A bigger lip to help open the device would have been very helpful

Toshiba Chromebook CB30

Toshiba's CB30 is one of the best Chromebooks we've seen so far, but its screen isn't great

Good styling ; Comfortable to use ; Full-sized HDMI port and SD card slot

Screen is very glossy ; Screen definition and contrast could be better

Toshiba's Chromebook CB30 possesses good styling and a useful array of features. At 13.3 inches, it's also a comfortable Chromebook to use. Importantly, it performs swiftly and can do a good job when streaming Web video. However, it has a screen that...

Toshiba CB30-102 review

Chromebooks are Google's vision of how a modern laptop should be. Generally they're lightweight, relatively cheap, and feature an interface optimised entirely for web use.

The usual caveat of ‘Chromebooks aren't for everyone' of course applies, but the Toshiba CB30 is a very useable and capable laptop for anyone who spends the majority of their computing time online using Google services. The increased screen size is a...

Toshiba Chromebook 2 review

Toshiba has updated its 13-inch Chromebook model with the new Chromebook 2, boasting improved components and a gorgeous IPS display. We spent some time with it to see if this really is the new king of the Chromebooks. This is the only Toshiba...

If you're happy to live in the cloud for the majority of your tasks, then Toshiba's Chromebook 2 is currently the best way to do it. The device is light, fast, and that screen is worth the money alone. Chromebooks are quickly coming of age, and this...
