The Acer Chromebook 15 will have a 15.6 inch display and support Intel Core i3 processors. It will be available with 16 or 32GB of storage and 2 or 4GB of RAM, but critics question if the performance will match expectations. Still, at an expected price of £160 it provides good value even if performance is not outstanding. The Samsung Galaxy Alpha has an iPhone-esque design and is lightweight while packing power. It also has fingerprint technology for security. The Tesco Hudl 2 is a fantastic low-cost tablet alternative with a high-resolution screen that is perfect for movies. Its processor allows smooth gaming and app use, with only a minor hit to battery life compared to competitors.
1. AcerChrombeook15
Price:Around £160
Set to bridge the void between mainstream laptops and cloud-based Chromebooks, Acer are
launching the mid-range Chromebook 15 which will boast a 15.6 inch display and support new
Intel Core i3 processors. Models will be available with a 16 or 32GB SSD and 2 or 4GB of RAM,
which leaves critics wondering if the performance will be able to match customers’ expectations.
Still, with an expected launch price of just £160 it should prove to be a good value, even if
performance is not outstanding.
SamsungGalaxyAlpha
Price: £264
If you’re due an upgrade with your contract then you’re in for a treat with some of the biggest
names in the business launching new models this year. Until then, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha
should be enough to tide over even the most impatient tech enthusiast, with its stylish iPhone-
esque design and lightweight design that more than packs a punch. Better yet, fingerprint
technology means that your phone, and your internet accounts, are safe at all times.
TescoHudl2
Price: £129
Just like its predecessor, the Tesco Hudl 2 is a fantastic budget alternative to more expensive
tablets on the market. The screen is slightly muted in comparison to its competitors but manages
to achieve an impressive 1,900x1,200 resolution that makes it perfect for films, and the speakers
are pretty beefy with great sound quality that is clear to hear. The revamped processor means
that playing games and apps is not a problem, and the only casualty seems to have been a
minor hit to battery life, but for the price it simply cannot be beaten.
