The best Chromebooks in Australia

12 top rated Chromebooks for every need: Australia's top picks!

Chromebooks have revolutionized accessible computing by offering a streamlined, secure, and often remarkably affordable way to get online and be productive. Built around Google's ChromeOS, they prioritize web-based applications and cloud storage, resulting in snappy performance, automatic updates, and enhanced security against viruses and malware. For students, educators, and anyone needing a reliable device for browsing, writing, and light productivity, Chromebooks provide a user-friendly experience with long battery life and ease of management, making them an increasingly popular choice in today’s digital landscape.

What to Look For

Processor (CPU)

While Chromebooks don't require powerful processors, look for at least an Intel Celeron or Pentium processor, or a MediaTek processor for efficient performance. Higher-end models may feature Intel Core i3 or i5 processors for more demanding tasks.

RAM

4GB of RAM is generally the minimum for a smooth experience, but 8GB is preferable, especially if you plan on multitasking or running multiple browser tabs simultaneously.

Storage

Chromebooks rely heavily on cloud storage, but having at least 32GB of internal storage is recommended for offline files and apps. 64GB or more provides more flexibility.

Screen Resolution

Aim for a Full HD (1920x1080) display for sharper images and text. Consider the screen size that suits your needs - 11.6-inch is portable, while 14-inch or larger offers more viewing space.

ChromeOS Automatic Updates

Confirm the Chromebook is still receiving automatic updates. Google provides updates for a specific timeframe (typically 6-8 years from the device's launch date), and this determines how long you'll receive security patches and new features. Check Google’s Auto Update Support Lifespan page for specifics.

Connectivity (Ports & Wireless)

Ensure the Chromebook has the necessary ports for your peripherals (USB-C, USB-A, HDMI) and supports the latest Wi-Fi standards (Wi-Fi 6) for reliable internet connectivity.
