Reviews for the Lenovo Yoga Chromebook C630-81JX0008UX
Chromebooks are known for their affordability and ease of use. Lenovo is changing the paradigm with the Yoga Chromebook C630, a relatively expensive Chrome OS device that brings 4K to Chromebooks. The C630 packs a lot of power, but some compromises on usability and price ultimately hold the device back.

Archive.org versionAgain, if you haven’t, check out our original review of the Yoga C630. This is a device that everyone really enjoyed and it only gets better with the additions backlit keys and the 4K panel. At $900, it is a hard sale, but we’ve already seen it on sale for as low as $629, so if you can wait around for a good sale from Lenovo, this is an absolute “buy it now” device.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
