Chromebooks are famous with schools, since they're anything but difficult to utilize and hard to taint with infections. Beginning at $329 ($349 as tried), Dell Chromebook 3189 runs Google's working system, yet additionally twists over into tablet and tent modes so understudies can without much of a stretch utilize the touch screen, demonstrate schoolmates what they're taking a shot at or cooperate with Android applications when Google refreshes its OS to help them. In spite of the fact that this 11-inch laptop doesn't have the most grounded execution or brightest screen, the Chromebook 3189's solid body, solid sound and throughout the day battery life settle on it an extraordinary decision for youthful understudies.
Design
The Dell Chromebook 3189 has a plain, however respectable, dim plastic tasteful. The cover has a Dell logo in the middle and a Chrome logo in a best corner, while the other best corner has a three-shading light that can be utilized (subsequent to downloading a Chrome Extension accessible for nothing in the Chrome Webstore) to speak with the educator without upsetting alternate understudies. The edges of the laptop are adjusted and the whole outside edge is canvassed in a rubber treated strip to help shield it from knocks and stuns.
The pivots are sufficiently hardened to keep the cover set up as you twist it over into tablet, tent or stand modes, yet sufficiently free for a youngster to move, without stressing. The deck conveys an indistinguishable dim stylish from the top.
Dell's laptop is a decent size for fitting into basic and center schoolers' hands and packs. The Chromebook 3189 measures 12 x 8.2 x 0.9 inches, and weighs 3.2 pounds. The external measurements are about the same as the Asus Chromebook Flip C302CA, which measures 11.9 x 8.3 x 0.6 inches and weighs just 2.6 pounds, however the C302CA's screen is 1 inch bigger than the 3189's (12 inches versus 11 crawls for the 3189). The Acer Chromebook R 13measures 12.8 x 8.9 x 0.6 inches and weighs 3.2 pounds, and has a 13-inch screen; the Dell Chromebook 3180 measures 11.9 x 8.1 x 0.8 inches, weighs 2.8 pounds, and has an indistinguishable size screen from the Chromebook 3189, at 11 inches.
Ports
On the left side, there are two USB 3 ports, a full-estimate HDMI port, a SD card peruser and the AC control jack. On the correct side, is a blend earphone/receiver jack, a charging status light, a power catch, a volume catch and a Noble Wedge security opening.
Strength
The Chromebook 3189 is intended to take quite mishandle. As per Dell, its laptop passed various MIL-SPEC tests, including those for stuns, vibrations and extraordinary temperatures. Amid its lab testing, Dell dropped the machine 26 times onto plywood from a tallness of 30 inches and it continued working. The workstation additionally has a spill-safe keyboard to enable it to survive fluids.
Keyboard and Touchpad
The Chromebook 3189's keyboard felt great to type on, in spite of the fact that the somewhat sunken keys could make it more troublesome for somebody with grown-up estimate hands or long fingernails. I typed 75 words for each moment on 10fastfingers.com with a 1.5 percent blunder rate, practically the same as my standard 77 words for every moment with a 1 percent mistake rate. The keys have a sensible 1.4mm of vertical travel and require 63 grams of incitation constrain, which are both somewhat over the classification normal.
The buttonless touchpad had the perfect measure of affectability for both two-finger looking over and three-finger swiping. Tapping on the touchpad (rather than squeezing) makes a commotion, as though the touchpad were free.
Display
The 3189's 11.6-inch display has a generally low resolution of 1366 x 768, however offers solid shading proliferation. Watching the Toy Story 3 HD trailer on YouTube in 720p HD, the hues were brilliant and genuine - Ham was pink, Rex and the toy officers were the right shades of green, and the wagon was a dark red.
The touch screen was exceptionally responsive. At the point when in tent or tablet mode, tapping on a content box raises an on-screen keyboard, which was cumbersome to type on yet took care of business for short sources of info. Notwithstanding, it's not the kind of thing an understudy would need to use for any time span.
The Chromebook 3189 could recreate 81.2 percent of the sRBG shading array, which was higher than the Chromebook R 13 (63.7 percent), the Chromebook Flip C302CA (76 percent) and the Chromebook 3180 (72.8 percent). In any case, is was still well underneath the classification normal of 96 percent.
The 3189's Delta-E shading precision score of 0.3 is superb (0 is perfect). It scored superior to anything the class normal of 2.4, and beat the scores of the Chromebook R 13 (1.1) and the Chromebook Flip C3-1CA (1.6); the Chromebook 3180 additionally scored 0.3.
The screen splendor was fine for indoor utilize, estimating 223 nits, contrasted and 291.8 nits for the Chromebook Flip C302CA and 210 nits for the Chromebook 3180. Be that as it may, it was well underneath the classification normal of 301.8, so you wouldn't have any desire to utilize it close to a radiant window.
With the majority of the distinctive ways you can arrange the 3189 (tablet, tent, level and ordinary workstation modes), the review edges are imperative, and the 3189 conveys. The screen has wide review edges from the sides, best and base - incredible for having a pack of understudies accumulated around one laptop for joint effort.
Sound
Tuning in to a live form of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" on YouTube, I could turn the speakers as far as possible up with no bending. The sound was useful for such a little laptop.
Tuning in to the Omaha Beach scene in Saving Private Ryan with the sound as far as possible up truly flaunted the speakers, with shot sounds going behind my head from my left ear on my right side. In tent mode, the sound was even somewhat louder, with the speakers more uncovered. Cranking the volume down to around 80 percent was more than adequate when sitting directly before the screen. This laptop could be utilized to demonstrate a video to a little gathering of youngsters and they should all have the capacity to hear it.
Execution
The 3189 has an Intel Celeron N3060 processor with 4GB of RAM, which is fine for web perusing while at the same time spilling a video, however not for genuine multitasking. Viewing Netflix in one tab and clicking around CNN in another worked fine, however including only one more tab backed things off a ton. With no gushing, I could have four tabs open without waiting long for new pages to stack, and could utilize eight without getting excessively disappointed, yet anything over eight was moderate.
The Chromebook 3189 scored 48.1 on the JetStream benchmark test, which measures JavaScript execution (the higher the score, the better). This was near the Chromebook 3180 (49.9) and the Chromebook R 13 (58.74), however much lower than the Chromebook Flip C302CA (127.32) and far underneath the classification normal of 168.8.
The 3189 dealt with a low 13 outlines for every second on the WebGL Aquarium graphics test, which measures 3D designs by demonstrating a tank with 2,000 fish swimming. This was lower than the Chromebook Flip (50 fps) and the Chromebook 3180 (26 fps).
Chrome OS and Software
The 3189 keeps running on Google's Chrome working system, with the Dell site offering membership based additional items, for example, Chrome OS Management Keyboard, security software and Go Guardian Chromebook Management.
Regardless of whether you're not acquainted with Google's program driven working system, there's no genuine expectation to absorb information. Chrome OS is principally a windowed desktop with a Chrome program you can use to visit sites and run electronic applications.
The greater part of the expansions must be utilized while on the web, however some are particularly intended for disconnected utilize, for example, Gmail Offline and the photograph proofreader. Expansions, for example, Google Docs could be convenient for school utilize, however there are no augmentations preloaded on the laptop particularly for instructive utilize.
Google is intending to add bolster for Android applications to future variants of Chrome OS and some Chromebooks - yet not the 3189 - would already be able to do it, if clients introduce a beta adaptation of the working system. Be that as it may, with its touch screen and convertible shape factor, Dell's laptop ought to complete an awesome activity running Android software when the time comes.
Battery Life
The Dell Chromebook 3189 went on for 9 hours and 9 minutes in our tests (constant web surfing over Wi-Fi), which was somewhat over the classification normal of 8:12, and enough to get most understudies through the school day without a charger. The Chromebook R 13 came in at a noteworthy 11 hours, the Chromebook Flip C302CA went on for 8:52 and the Chromebook 3180 went on for 8:55.
Webcam
Sadly the 720p camera takes dim, grainy photographs absent much detail. I would not prescribe the camera for video conferencing. However, there are some fun channels to play with that can put diverse shading overlays on your picture or misshape your face, which understudies may discover fun.
Setups and Warranty
I evaluated the Chromebook 3189 in its midrange $349 arrangement, which has an Intel Celeron N3060 processor, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC memory. The $329 base model is $20 less expensive yet accompanies half of the storage room (16GB). For $40 progressively ($389) you can get 64GB of memory. The 3189 has a one-year restricted guarantee. Perceive how Dell did on our Best and Worst Brands report and Tech Support Showdown.
Main concern
The Dell Chromebook 3189 offers a solid mix of strength, ease of use and long battery life. It's a solid decision for schools or guardians who are searching for an extreme 2-in-1 that fits effectively in a basic schoolers hand.
Schools and guardians who have more cash to spend can get a bigger screen and better battery existence with the 13-inch Acer Chromebook R 13 for $399 or the 12-inch Asus Chromebook Flip C302CA for $449, which additionally has more grounded execution and a brighter show. Be that as it may, neither of those laptops is made for awkward youthful understudies. In case you're searching for an adaptable, reasonable Chromebook for training, the Dell Chromebook 3189 could be your best decision.
