Now, there are even Chromebooks made for cloud gaming. And for those with some extra money to spend, premium Chromebooks often include features like touchscreens, backlit keyboards and USI pen support for notes or drawing. While entry-level Chromebooks don't feature all the bells and whistles of more premium models, they still do the job. They'll also suit anyone who wants an inexpensive laptop for productivity and entertainment. And since they're safe and less complicated, Chromebooks are an excellent gift (you can get great Chromebook deals during sales) for kids and less tech-savvy adults needing a simple computer. The best Chromebooks are more affordable than traditional laptops, such as Windows laptops or Apple MacBooks.

Using Google's ChromeOS, Chromebooks are designed to be user-friendly for everyone. We have yet to see any new Chromebooks released or announced with the same 'limitations,' but we're hoping to see a new USI 2.0 stylus pen released sooner rather than later.Chromebooks are known for their ease of use, portability and affordability, meaning many people in the market for a laptop would be better suited with a Chromebook. On the somewhat bright side of things, the Chromebook Duet 3 is currently the only option available that relies on the USI 2.0 standard. Instead, you might pick up the new Chromebook, and try to use one of the (current) best USI pens, only to find that it won't work. We have requested clear documentation and marking, and also shipping with a 2.0 stylus (ideally) in order to minimize the confusion and user frustration.Īdding even more confusion to the mix, there's no clear indication on the retail packaging for the new Chromebook Duet 3 regarding the USI 2.0-only compatibility. We spent many months looking at alternatives to ensure backwards compatibility, but it was not doable. It is this timing constraint that caused us to have to modify our USI spec for some in-cell panels. Because the touch and display driver are more tightly integrated for in-cell, the touch sensing has to occur within certain timing windows in between the display being driven.
