What is the best Chromebook for students? Our number one pick is the Google Pixelbook Go with its Corning Glass screen, easy-grip case, and almost 12-hour battery life! We analyzed each Chromebook’s processor, display, storage, and price to compile a list of the best student-proof laptops. As your kids get ready to head back to school, a Chromebook makes it easy to attend virtual classes, do research for class projects, and stay connected to teachers and friends.
