Chromebooks are popular with schools, because they're easy to use and difficult to infect with viruses. Starting at $329 ($349 as tested), Dell's Chromebook 3189 runs Google's operating system, but also bends back into tablet and tent modes so students can easily use the touch screen, show classmates what they're working on or interact with Android apps when Google updates its OS to support them. Though this 11-inch laptop doesn't have the strongest performance or brightest screen, the Chromebook 3189's durable chassis, strong audio and all-day battery life make it the best Chromebook for young students.
The Pros
Flexible configurations; Good speakers; Solid battery life
The Cons
Dim screen; Poor multitasking performance
Verdict
A good choice for young students, Dell's Chromebook 3189 is a flexible 2-in-1 with a durable chassis and strong audio.
