If you need a laptop that will not break the bank, then you will want to check out the new CTL Chromebook NL72 Series. Three models are being offered: NL72, NL72T and NL72TW, with the NL72T powered by Intel Jasper Lake dual-core N4500 processor and the NL72TW powered by Jasper Lake Quadcore Intel 5100 processor.
For those who don’t already know, Jasper Lake chip is the chipmaker’s 10 nm process low-powered chip destined for NUCs. While it will not make any land speed record, it should be more than powerful; enough for streaming media, fast web surfing and multitasking with multiple apps and open tabs, which are what Chromebooks are mainly used for anyways.
Touting up to 35% more power over the Gemini Lake Refresh predecessors, both Chromebook NL72 series further boasts Wi-Fi 6, 11.6-inch screen, Intel UMA graphics, USB interface HD camera with LED indicator and rotational camera, 2 USB ports, audio jack, 2-in-1 card reader, up to 8 GB LPDDR4x-2933 SDRAM and 64 GB eMMC storage, and IP42 rated design with tough build that has been drop tested to 70 cm (2.3′).
