Dell Chromebook 3120 11.6-Inch Laptop (Intel Celeron, 2.16 GHz, 4 GB ddr3_sdram, Intel HD Graphics, Chrome OS)

Product Information

The maximum temperature on the upper side is 33.9 °C / 93 F, compared to the average of 33.1 °C / 92 F, ranging from 21.6 to 53.2 °C for the class Netbook.

The Chromebook 11 is also available in a 2-in-1 convertible version, which lets you rotate the screen 360 degrees to use it as a tablet. However, if you think your kids will primarily be using their Chromebook as a tablet, you may want to go with the detachable Lenovo Chromebook Duet instead. CPU: Info: Dual Core model: Intel Core i5-2520M bits: 64 type: MCP arch: Sandy Bridge rev: 7 cache: L2: 3 MiB The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 30.6 °C / 87 F, compared to the average of 29.8 °C / 86 F for the devices in the class Netbook. In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 27.2 °C / 81 F, compared to the device average of 29.8 °C / 86 F.Innovative features Flexible viewing: A 180-degree LCD hinge reduces stress on the lid, lets it lay flat and allows students to easily adjust their screen for more group work opportunities.

The Chromebook 11 comes with a total of four USB ports, an impressive amount for a Chromebook at any price. There are two USB-C ports on our review unit, either of which can accept the power adapter plug. There are also two USB Type-A ports, useful for connecting a wired mouse or perhaps an external drive to supplement the Dell's internal storage. Unfortunately, there's no SD or microSD card slot, so you can't expand storage that way. Creative opportunity: Encourage collaboration while deterring distraction with the inventive Chromebook. Multi-colored lights signal to the teacher when students are online and not participating, or they can be used to answer questions for a fun change in classroom interaction.Apart from the screen, the laptop does not have any real points of criticism. Therefore, it can be said that Dell's Chromebook is overall successful. How does this adequate performance translate to benchmark results? Compared to competitors, the Chromebook 11 offers middling performance on tests like WebXPRT 3, CrXPRT, JetStream 2, and PCMark for Android. That's exactly what we expect from a Chromebook at this price. (See more about how we test laptops.) A platform is a series of components that are designed to work together — something a manufacturer selects for any given device. To ensure compatibility with our updates, every four weekswe work with all the component manufacturers within a platform (processor, WiFi, etc.) to develop and to test the software on every single ChromeOS device.

Unfortunately, this is one area where the Chromebook 3100 suffers a bit. Its dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi failed to reliably connect to the internet in my testing at home unless it was in the same room as the router, while my other devices saw a strong connection a few rooms further away. Substandard Wi-Fi components are a hazard of any cheap laptop, but they're especially worrisome on a Chromebook whose raison d'être is constant web connectivity. Easy to hear: Whether they are watching a presentation, chatting with a classmate or playing music to inspire, the dual-array microphones and front-facing speakers make it easy to hear and be heard.OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 11.1.0 256 bits) v: 4.5 Mesa 21.0.1 compat-v: 3.1 direct render: Yes Unfortunately you appear to have a genuine problem machine.....
