Gift Guide: The perfect Chromebook for everyone in your life

-

The holidays are on us once again. For many of us, the spirit of giving is a chance to make someone's Christmas or Hanukkah a little more special by finding just the right gift. It's awesome that there is something that's easy to find and is something that anyone would love — a new Chromebook!

Simple and easy

Acer Chromebook 11

Acer's Chromebook 11 is an affordable, durable, and simple computer that's great to use at home or on the go. There is no touch support and it doesn't try to be a tablet — it's just a great dependable Chromebook.

For the student

Lenovo Chromebook 500e

The Lenovo Chromebook 500e is built tough and ready for the education market. But it still has all the options we want to see in a great Chromebook with a great touch display, Wacom EMR Pen support, 64GB of storage and a quad-core Intel CPU.

Great all around

Samsung Chromebook Plus

Samsung's refresh of its popular Chromebook Plus brought a more powerful Intel processor that offers the performance a Chromebook in 2018 needs. You'll still love the FHD 12-inch display, excellent Pen support and long battery life, too!

For the Enterprise

Acer Chromebook Spin 13

The Acer Chromebook Spin 13 is the first (of undoubtedly many) Chromebooks with Intel's eighth-generation Core i5 processor and that makes it the most powerful Chromebook you can buy right now. It oozes premuim from every pore and has a price to match. but it's an ideal laptop for an Enterprise application.

For the Mac expat

Google Pixelbook

Google's Pixelbook is the company's Chromebook halo device. It's built for the person who wants to use a Chromebook the way Google intended it to be and is an excellent take on the next generation of mobile. It's fast, secure, and reliable. It also looks great and anyone used to computing on a Mac would love it.

For the Windows expat

Google Pixel Slate

Everyone loves the design of Microsoft's Surface line. Google included. The Pixel Slate and its Pixel Keyboard folio case and Pixelbook Pen can offer a complete experience for anyone switching over from the Windows world, and that includes powerful specs and an amazing display.

For the traveler

Lenovo Chromebook C330

The 2.5 pound 11-inch Lenovo Chromebook C330 has everything you would want in a travelling companion — 360-degree hinges, a 10-finger multitouch display, and 10 hous of uptime from its 45 Whr battery. Looking good and being affordble are nice qualities, too.

$280 at Lenovo

For entertainment

ASUS Chromebook 15

Your shows and movies are going to look great on the edge-to-edge 1080p display the ASUS Chromebook 15 sports. You'll also find plenty of memory and storage for apps from Google Play and everything the web has to offer. This is your desktop replacement when you're away from your desktop.

$270 at Amazon

As you can see, there is a Chromebook for just about everyone in your life. I've been using the Google Pixelbook every day since its launch and find it to be perfect for work and play. With over a million apps via the Chrome Store and Google Play, a Chromebook can meet the needs of anyone, no matter how ambitious they may be; with support for Linux applications even the most hardcore user has software to do everything they might need.

With 6 years of full support and updates from Google, security like no other, and many different styles and prices to choose from, a Chromebook makes the perfect gift this holiday season.

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow. We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail. Gmail Add-ons, built for your workflows Rather than toggling between your inbox and other apps, use add-ons to complete actions right from Gmail. With Gmail Add-ons, your inbox can contextually surface your go-to app based on messages you receive to help you get things done faster.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK).
