Lenovo Chromebook M 15.3" vs HP OmniBook 3 17.3" Laptop

Buy the Lenovo Chromebook M if the job is browsing, email, video and schoolwork on a big screen with long battery life. Buy the HP OmniBook 3 if you need Windows apps, real local storage and more memory for multitasking. The Lenovo is lighter and lasts far longer per charge, but 4GB RAM and 64GB storage are tight and Chrome OS cannot run Windows software. The HP has double the memory, four times the storage and a bigger 17.3-inch screen, at the cost of weight and battery life.

• Choose the Lenovo Chromebook M if you live in a browser and Google apps and want a light 15-inch machine that runs all day.
• Choose the HP OmniBook 3 if you need Windows programs, offline files or more memory and storage, and mostly use it near a charger.
