For a while now, Toshiba has been hinting at putting out a Chromebook, and now it looks like they have finally decided to pull the trigger. Toshiba has unveiled their new ChromeOS powered laptop, simply named: Toshiba Chromebook.

This new computer from Toshiba will be the very first Chromebook with a 13 inch screen. This screen size has been really popular for other types of laptops for both Mac and Windows  based models,  but most Chromebooks have been smaller with more of a netbook feel. Most have only has 10 inch screens or so, with the most expensive ones being just shy of 13 inches. With this screen size though, it gives Toshiba the room to give this Chromebook a full size keyboard, something  most other Chromebooks lack.

The Display is 1366 x 768 pixels, which is pretty standard for a budget priced Chromebook. Unlike the display on Acer’s new Chromebook, the Toshiba’s display is not touch screen.

The Toshiba Chromebook is powered by a Haswell Celeron processor, a 16GB solid state hard drive augmented by 100GB of free Google Drive storage, it is 0.8 inches thick and weighs in at 3.3 lbs. It features two USB 3.0 ports, a full sized HDMI port, a memory card reader, a security lock slot, Bluetooth connectivity and a 2×2 802 11n Wi-Fi

This helps the Toshiba Chromebook’s battery life tremendously, giving it an estimated 9 hours of life.
