From InfoWorld: Lenovo is bringing a unique design to Chromebooks with the N20p Chromebook, which has a touchscreen that can rotate roughly 300 degrees to a "stand mode."
In close proximity, the stand mode also makes the Chromebook convenient to view media content, said Robert Eckard, Lenovo's senior product manager for notebooks.
The N20p Chromebook will be priced at $329. Lenovo also announced the non-touch N20 Chromebook, which will be priced at $279. The N20p weighs 1.4 kilograms, while the N20 weighs 1.3 kilograms. Both the N20 and N20p laptops have 11.6-inch screens that can display images at a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution.
The N20 and N20p are Lenovo's first Chromebooks based on the updated Chrome OS, which hit laptops in September last year. Acer, Samsung and Hewlett-Packard were the first companies to ship Chromebooks with the updated OS. Chrome OS is also being used in mini-desktops from HP, Google and Asustek, and an all-in-one PC from LG. Lenovo already sells the ThinkPad X131e, which started shipping in January 2013 and is based on the first version of Chrome OS.
