The Best Chromebooks Are Doing Their Best to Course Correct<div><p class="paywall">I was delighted to see that the Acer Chromebook Plus 516 didn’t skimp on a crappy touchpad. That goes a long way toward improving the experiencing of actually using the laptop on a moment-by-moment basis. I wasn’t annoyed every time I had to click-and-drag or select a bit of text. This one’s biggest weakness is definitely the screen, which is true of just about every cheap Chromebook I’ve tested. The colors are ugly and desaturated, giving the whole thing a sickly green tint. It’s also not the sharpest in the world, as it’s stretching 1920 x 1200 pixels across a large, 16-inch screen. But in terms of usability and performance, the Acer Chromebook Plus 516 is a great value, combining an Intel Core i3 processor with 8 GB of RAM and a 128 GB of storage. For a Chromebook that’s often on sale for $350, it’s a steal.</p><p class="paywall">While we’re here, let’s go even cheaper, shall we? Asus has two dirt-cheap Chromebooks that I tested last year that I was mildly impressed by. The <a href="https://www.wired.com/review/asus-chromebook-cx14/" target="_blank" class="text link">Asus Chromebook CX14</a> and CX15. Notice in the name that these are not “Chromebook Plus” models, meaning they can be configured with less RAM and storage, and even use lower-powered processors. That’s exactly what you get on the cheaper configurations of the CX14 and CX15, which is how you sometimes get prices down to as low as $130. I definitely recommend the version with 8 GB of RAM, but regardless of which you choose, the both the CX14 and larger CX15 are mildly attractive laptops. You’d know that’s a big compliment if you’ve seen just how ugly Chromebooks of this price have been in the past.</p><p class="paywall">With these, though, I appreciate the relatively thin bezels and chassis thickness, as well as the larger touchpad and comfortable keyboard. The CX15 even comes in a striking blue color. The touchpad isn’t great, nor is the display. Like the Acer Chromebook Plus 516, it suffers from poor color reproduction and only goes up to 250 nits of brightness. It only has a 720p webcam too, which makes video calls a bit rough. But that’s going to be true of nearly all the competition (and there isn’t much).</p><p class="paywall">Of the two models, I definitely prefer the CX14 though, as it doesn’t have a numberpad and off-center touchpad, which I’ve always found to be awkward to use. Look—no one’s going to <em>love</em> using a computer that costs the less than $200, but if it’s what you can afford, the Asus Chromebook CX14 will at least get you by without too much frustration.</p><p class="paywall">Whatever you do, <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/bad-amazon-laptops/" class="text link">don’t just head over to Amazon</a> and buy whatever ancient Chromebook is selling for $100 for your kid. It’s worth the extra cash to get something with better battery life, a more modern look, and decent performance.</p><p><h2 class="paywall">Other Good Chromebooks We’ve Tested</h2></p><p class="paywall">We’ve tested dozens and dozens of Chromebooks over the past years, having reviewed every major release across the spectrum of price. Unlike Macs and Windows laptops, Chromebooks tends to stick around a bit longer though, and aren’t refreshed as often. I stand by my picks above, but here are a few standouts from our testing that are still worth buying for the right person.</p><figure class="AssetEmbedWrapper-iJvQnD cOWUYC asset-embed"><div class="AssetEmbedAssetContainer-fnduJP iaVSwI asset-embed__asset-container"><span class="SpanWrapper-kFnjvc eKnjjD responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset"><picture class="ResponsiveImagePicture-jKunQM gjCCFj AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image"><img alt="Image may contain Computer Electronics Laptop Pc Computer Hardware Computer Keyboard and Hardware" loading="lazy" class="ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image" srcset="https://media.wired.com/photos/6849bbb0ec6c1ab24bbd68b2/master/w_120,c_limit/Acer-Chromebook-Plus-Spin-714-Front-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.png 120w, https://media.wired.com/photos/6849bbb0ec6c1ab24bbd68b2/master/w_240,c_limit/Acer-Chromebook-Plus-Spin-714-Front-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.png 240w, https://media.wired.com/photos/6849bbb0ec6c1ab24bbd68b2/master/w_320,c_limit/Acer-Chromebook-Plus-Spin-714-Front-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.png 320w, https://media.wired.com/photos/6849bbb0ec6c1ab24bbd68b2/master/w_640,c_limit/Acer-Chromebook-Plus-Spin-714-Front-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.png 640w, https://media.wired.com/photos/6849bbb0ec6c1ab24bbd68b2/master/w_960,c_limit/Acer-Chromebook-Plus-Spin-714-Front-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.png 960w, https://media.wired.com/photos/6849bbb0ec6c1ab24bbd68b2/master/w_1280,c_limit/Acer-Chromebook-Plus-Spin-714-Front-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.png 1280w, https://media.wired.com/photos/6849bbb0ec6c1ab24bbd68b2/master/w_1600,c_limit/Acer-Chromebook-Plus-Spin-714-Front-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.png 1600w" sizes="100vw" src="https://media.wired.com/photos/6849bbb0ec6c1ab24bbd68b2/master/w_1600%2Cc_limit/Acer-Chromebook-Plus-Spin-714-Front-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.png"/></picture></span></div><p><span class="BaseText-fEwdHD CaptionCredit-cUgOGk iQbGEh hRFzlA caption__credit">Photograph: Daniel Thorp-Lancaster</span></p></figure></div>#Chromebooks #Correctchromebooks,laptops,buying guides,google

Apr 23, 2026; Pittsburgh, PA, USA; Texas Tech Red Raiders linebacker David Bailey embraces NFL commissioner Roger Goodell after he is selected by the New York Jets as the number two pick during the 2026 NFL Draft at Acrisure Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Fernando Mendoza’s next mission might be his toughest yet: Try to turn Sin City into Win City.
The Las Vegas Raiders tabbed Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday. The 22-year-old will be the centerpiece of a franchise rebuild following his meteoric rise at Indiana, where he won the Heisman Trophy and led the program to its first national title.
Mendoza had 41 touchdown passes and six interceptions for Indiana last season, completing 72% of his passes to post a perfect 16-0 record not many outside the program saw coming. Indiana entered the season with the most losses in FBS history (715).
It came as no surprise that the Raiders, who finished 3-14 in 2025, used their top pick on Mendoza. The selection had been expected for months as Las Vegas eyed a potential franchise quarterback, and now the only question is whether Mendoza will immediately step in as the starter or whether he will serve as an understudy to veteran Kirk Cousins to start the season.
What the Raiders’ top pick lacked in suspense, the rest of the top 10 made up for with surprises.
The New York Jets tapped Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey with the No. 2 pick. Bailey racked up 14.5 sacks in 14 games last season, and he prompted the Jets to bypass highly touted edge rusher Arvell Reese to select him instead.
At No. 3, the Arizona Cardinals added Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. The Cardinals had needs at other positions but decided they could not skip out on a home-run hitter in Love, who averaged 6.9 yards per carry and rushed for 18 touchdowns last season.
The Titans added another twist at No. 4 when they bypassed high-end defenders to select wideout Carnell Tate from Ohio State. In 2025, Tate caught 51 passes and hauled in nine touchdowns.
Tate had a message for Cam Ward, his new quarterback with the Titans.
“I’m a reliable target for him,” Tate said. “Whenever he needs me, I’m there for him. I’m always open.”
The New York Giants pounced on Reese at No. 5, where he will join what could be one of the league’s more talented pass-rushing units.
“The Giants told me they’re going to get unique with me,” Reese said. “They said they’re going to use me in a bunch of unique ways. I’m looking forward to that.”
Next came the first trade of the evening, as the Kansas City Chiefs struck a deal with the Cleveland Browns to move up from No. 9 to No. 6. To jump three spots on the draft board, the Chiefs gave up a third-round pick (No. 74) overall and a fifth-round pick (No. 148 overall).
Kansas City then selected LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane.
Delane said the Chiefs were not heavily involved in his pre-draft process, a tactic that appeared to be subterfuge as soon as they called his name.
“They said they just wanted to keep it quiet and make that sneak move,” Delane said. “And they made the best move in the draft. So I’m excited.”
The Washington Commanders followed at No. 7 by selecting linebacker Sonny Styles — the third Buckeye to go in the top seven picks. At No. 8, the New Orleans Saints drafted Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson.
A pair of offensive linemen rounded out the top 10.
Cleveland got first dibs as it used the No. 9 pick to select tackle Spencer Fano from Utah. Moments later, the Giants took advantage of their second pick of the first round to take Miami Hurricanes tackle Francis Mauigoa at No. 10.

Apr 22, 2026; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA; NBA referee JB DeRosa calls a technical on Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (1) in the second half during game two of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Paycom Center. Mandatory Credit: Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images One day after calling a referee’s performance “terrible,” Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker received a $35,000 fine from the NBA on Thursday for his comments — but he did receive some vindication from the league.
The NBA rescinded the technical foul called against Booker late in the third quarter, announcing it was “improperly assessed.”
After the Suns lost 120-107 to the host Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday, falling behind the defending champions 2-0 in a best-of-seven Western Conference quarterfinal series, Booker expressed his thoughts on the officiating.
“It’s definitely something that has to be looked at,” Booker said postgame. “I heard (Oklahoma City’s Alex) Caruso tell them to call the tech, and he ended up doing it. In my 11 years, I haven’t called a ref out by name, but James (Williams) was terrible tonight.”
He added, “Whatever I get fined for, everybody can pull the clips and see where the frustration comes from.”
NBA executive vice president and head of basketball operations James Jones issued the fine. The accompanying press release also addressed Booker’s allegations, saying, “Following an investigation including multiple interviews and video review, the league found no basis to any claim of bias or misconduct by game officials.”
However, the league went on to state that Booker’s technical foul was overturned.
Booker finished with 22 points and seven rebounds on Wednesday after he had 23 points and six boards in Game 1 on Sunday. In 64 regular-season starts this campaign, he averaged 26.1 points, 6.0 assists and 3.9 rebounds.
In 11 NBA seasons, all with the Suns, Booker has been an All-Star five times. He has career averages of 24.6 points, 5.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 737 games (712 starts).
