With updated ports, two color options, a shiny aluminum lid and the same dependable performance we loved on last year's model, the Lenovo C340 improves on the original in almost every way.

Lenovo’s problem here is the competition. There are literally dozens of models available from a range of manufacturers in the $200 to $400 space. Thanks to the size and price, I would recommend the C340 to middle schoolers who aren’t sticklers for specs and performance. If you want more from your Chromebook, you may have to spend more to get it. Lenovo itself has a faster, 15-inch version of the C340, as well as clamshell variants such as the S340 14-inch and S340 15-inch.

The downside to using this Chromebook for entertainment is its speakers. The two-in-one's stereo pair are quiet and even at 75% volume the sound comes out as a whisper. When played at full volume, the speakers distort audio with crackling mids and highs and a nearly nonexistent bass. Take advantage of the headphone jack and Bluetooth connectivity when you can -- it's the better choice.

As we always do, we come to the point of every review where you want to know whether you should buy this Chromebook or not. If your budget is the $300 and under sort, I would absolutely say yes. In this price range, you’d be hard-pressed to find an overall experience this good. Sure, there are devices that may be a tad better that fall into this price range from time to time, but the C340 is constantly under $300.

$300 isn’t bottom-tier by any stretch, but the C340 doesn’t really manage to punch above its weight class in any significant way. You’re not getting ripped off, but you’re not getting a steal of a machine, either. As a productivity machine, I’d lean towards no, but for casual use like watching videos, checking Facebook, and playing around with a few apps, then yeah, I think you can do far worse than what Lenovo is offering.
