**First Look and Unboxing: Toshiba Chromebook**

We're excited to bring you our first look at the Toshiba Chromebook, a budget-friendly laptop that recently won one of our Best of CES Awards. With a price tag of $299, this device promises to deliver a capable computing experience without breaking the bank. Let's take a closer look at what we found under the hood.

As we pulled out the Chromebook, we were greeted by its sleek and sturdy design. The laptop feels solid in our hands, with a weight that's perfect for everyday use. On the spine, we noticed two USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI output, a 3.5mm headset jack, an SD card reader, and a lock port. It's clear that Toshiba has focused on providing a comprehensive set of ports and connectivity options.

**Turning it On**

With the power cable plugged in, we were eager to turn this Chromebook on and see what it had to offer. As soon as we pressed the power button, the device sprang to life, revealing its 13-inch display. While it's not a touchscreen, the screen is bright and clear, with good color representation. We're happy to report that the keyboard feels incredibly nice to type on – it's like using a full-size keyboard, with a smooth and responsive typing experience.

**Chrome OS Experience**

As we explored the Chromebook, we were struck by how well Google has refined its Chrome OS experience. The interface is intuitive, with a familiar layout that's easy to navigate. We were pleased to see a file explorer, which offers a more traditional computing experience. While Chrome OS will always be known for its web-centric approach, Toshiba has done an excellent job of incorporating more desktop-like features without straying too far from the web-based model.

**Touchpad and Battery Life**

One area where the Chromebook truly shines is in its touchpad. The multi-touch input is smooth and responsive, making it perfect for navigation and scrolling. We also appreciated the large size of the touchpad, which makes it easy to use with one hand or two. And when it comes to battery life, Toshiba has promised an impressive 9 hours of usage, which we're eager to put through its paces.

**Conclusion**

The Toshiba Chromebook is a compelling option for those looking for a budget-friendly laptop that still delivers a capable computing experience. With its solid design, smooth keyboard, and excellent touchpad, this device is well-suited for everyday use. While it's not perfect – the HD display resolution is 720p, which may be a disappointment for some – we're confident that Toshiba has created a top-notch Chromebook at an unbeatable price point.

Chromebook kind of makes life pretty easy uh so picture of the device right there on the front on the back of it there's another picture of the device on the spine uh we list all the specs but you're not here to read I will run you through all the specs anyway let's go ahead and cut the plasic here all right tape's cut let's go ahead and pull up the tab and so things don't fall over all over me we

got a power cable and power cable and power brick uh it's a proprietary little uh pin style in case you're wondering uh non-magnetic or anything all right but that's not overly exciting here is the Chromebook this actually won one of our best of CES Awards uh because of its price it comes in at a pretty startling uh $299 uh so you get get a pretty uh capable little Chromebook for a relatively inexpensive price go ahead and open that pull this thing out and Grand reveal boom Toshiba Chromebook all chromed out like just back from pit my ride uh so we'll go a and open it up and you are looking at a 13inch screen I don't believe that it was a touch screen if I remember correctly but we'll take a look at that when we turn it on uh it's got on the spine two USB 3.0 ports uh it's got an Intel cellon processor in here as well and it's also going to come with 100 gigs of Sky Drive and a pretty beastly battery that should get you about 9 hours uh so you've got uh HDMI out as well 3.5 mm headset Jack SD card reader which is also a nice feature then you've got a lock Port let's go ahead and turn this guy on and see what it looks like right so you got the computer all set up and I will say the keyboard feels really really nice as I mentioned it is definitely not a touchcreen uh it's HD uh it appears to be just 720 um so it's typical Chrome OS here uh you've got sort of a display of

really nice job and it seems to be getting better and better you got a file explorer now here and things that have sort of become important um to using a regular OS the Ser gets closer and closer to being a regular operating system but of course Chrome and all of its Chrome glory is here the keyboard is really nice to type on feels like any full-size keyboard um the touchpad here is indeed multi-touch and scrolling is really really smooth on it um it has sort of almost like a plasticky clicky feel to it that's sort of hard to translate over the video uh but it works really well and it's
