Samsung Galaxy Chromebook (2020) vs Lenovo Chromebook C340-11 (2019)

The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook (2020) makes for a good, if unremarkable, 2-in-1 Chromebook for people with a $990 budget.

The Lenovo Chromebook C340-11 Intel Celeron N4000/ 4 GB/ 64 GB SSD (2019), however, is merely mediocre at its $299 asking price, when compared to similarly priced products, and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In either case, we suggest that you first take a look at some other options at the $990 and $260 price points before committing to one of these - it's likely that you'll be able to find some better alternatives.
