Don't look for high resolution or aluminum construction, but expect solid value from the Lenovo Chromebook C330, an 11.6-inch convertible priced comfortably under $300.

The Lenovo Chromebook C330 is an 11-inch convertible that has a lot in common with its competition. That includes both its best feature -- nearly 10 hours of battery life -- and its worst -- an unimpressive low-res screen. We do like that it comes with an HDMI port, which is fairly unique in this price range, as well as the comfy keyboard, but you shouldn't expect the swiftest performance. It still happens to be one of the best laptops under $300.
