At the top of the range, the Lenovo 500e Chromebook comes complete with its own stylus with storage space allocated in the case design providing lag-free input thanks to the inclusion of the Chrome OS API. All three laptops sport the same screen size and resolution and are all charged using the included USB-C connection offering up to 10 hours of use from a single charge. As far as specifications are concerned the 100e and 500e use Intel Celeron processors form of the N3350 for the 100e and the N3450 processor for the 500e systems. The 300e is fitted with an ARM-based MediaTek MTK 8173C processor and a full-size SD card slot while the other two systems are equipped with microSD card slots allowing users to expand the on-board storage to meet their needs.
