Chromebooks are a bundle of contradictions, budget laptops that are both weird and brilliant, underpowered yet potent. They pack basic computing functionality into the Chrome OS, a web browser masquerading as an operating system. The search giant's OS and...

In a few (very small) ways, the Toshiba Chromebook is the first of its kind. This is the first 13.3-inch variety of Google's laptop, not to mention the first Chrome OS notebook to come from Toshiba. It's also the first with two USB 3.0 ports – this early...

Back when I used to sell laptops at retail — back in the late 90's, early 2000's — there was one name that was synonymous with quality: Toshiba. Customers would ask for the best, and I'd recommend Toshiba. There was a premium price on their gear but it wa...

Toshiba has done a pretty decent job with the CB30. It's an admirable first effort, overall it's responsive, nice to use and fairly light meaning it doesn't weigh heavily on your lap when you're using it and you won't break your back carrying it around al...

The typical low price of a Chromebook suggests you'll not be buying into a quality product with pleasing design aesthetics. Yet it seems that the brains behind Toshiba's latest Chromebook weren't going to be swayed by such presumptions. If it weren't fo...

I've become much more comfortable with Chromebooks over the last six months, but that's all due to a change in expectations and how I've since become accustomed to Chrome's modus operandi . On this point, I found myself treating the Toshiba CB30 much lik...

The Toshiba Chromebook CB30-102 is a laptop that runs on Chrome OS, Google's operating system for low-cost laptops. It's a 13" machine with humble specs that include an Intel Celeron processor, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage (plus 100 GB on Google Drive).

Whatever you do, do NOT go out and buy a Chromebook without looking into it first. One of their peculiarities is that they basically require an Internet connection to do anything. That being said, Toshiba's CB30-102 isn't bad as Chromebooks go and it runs...

As a point of difference, the Skullcandy-branded speakers are loud, but overly harsh on the treble and missing a lot of mid-range. We actually found Acer's 13-inch Chromebook to have superior tonal quality. The 13-inch, 1,366 x 768 TN-based matte screen...
