Hi guys, looking for any shops or individuals selling the more recent Chromebook models.

So far all I see on Lazada/Shopee and even the local manufacturers' websites are outdated/low-end variants.

Quite interested in some of the models reviewed by Chromebook Unboxed a while back. Nice IPS screen, the newer Snapdragon CPU, 64/128GB SSD storage etc.

If don't have no choice lar, order from overseas lor.  tongue.gif  bruce.gif  cool2.gif

Hi, I did recommend you to buy at Amazon, there is some "renewed" item at quite reasonable price even + import fees & shipping fees, and their service is great as well.

Depend on your budget, but I do recommend below RM2000 for chromebook, above RM2000 you better buy proper x86 laptop. (my opinion). For RM1000 to 1500, Lenovo Chromebook Duet (10.1) which I'm using now is pretty good, great battery life and nice keyboard/touch pad.

The newest model is Duet 5, which still not sell at Amazon yet. You can try look around for it.

Hey there, thanks for your response! I am aware that ebay and Amazon have them on sale but I am more interested in finding a local entity that sells them at reasonable pricing as delivery would be faster etc.

But looks like the chance of that is very unlikely? Almost everything here seems to be like for 'education' or potato models haha.

I have way too many x86 laptops and I just gotten an Asus recently.

Local seller usually sell outdated model or higher price on some newer model. Amazon shipping quite fast actually, I purchase 3 units from them and shipping take only a week from US to Malaysia, including clearance as well. The packing also top notch.

But ChromeOS is quite light weight to run, most low spec model will run well, just don't expect to run android app, thats it. Some important aspect including screen quality, keyboard, and speaker, I would really consider mid range model.

x86 laptops can't get good battery life compare to Arm base ChromeBook. I am pretty impressed by the battery life from my Duet, it is better then my iPad Pro even it is small size and small battery.

BTW, I am just a fresh ChromeOS user since Apr, the Duet is my 1st ChromeOS device, and will never use iPadOS for web base software again after that.
