Toshiba added two new Chromebook models with slightly better specs the company said Wednesday.

Both new models are 13.3 inch Chromebooks that are thin and light and powered by Intel Celeron processors.

The new Chromebooks will get the new updated 802.11ac Wi-Fi adapters, but will switch from two USB 3.0 ports to one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 port according to PC World.

Both models will continue to have the built-in camera with microphone, HDMI outputs and an SD card slot.

There are two price points and a big difference in memory for the two models. For $330, a consumer gets 4 gigabytes (GB) of RAM and an IPS display with native resolution of 1920x1080. The less expensive model costs only $250 and comes with only 2 GB of RAM and a TN panel with native resolution of 1366x768.

Onboard storage for both models is limited to 16 GB, but 100 GB of Google online storage through Google Drive is provided.

With touchscreens being the hot trend right now, it would have been nice to see a Chromebook with a touchscreen, but both models will not have that feature.

At least the audio will improve. Toshiba asked for help from headphone maker Skullcandy. They decided to move the speakers from the bottom of the laptop and place them underneath the keyboard.

Intel processors aboard these Chromebooks will run more efficiently and cooler, elimanting the need for a fan. They'll also increase the battery life on both models. The higher-resolution model will get about 9 hours of battery life while the lower-resolution model will get about 12 hours of battery life.

Toshiba says these new Chromebooks will be available for sale in retail locations on Oct. 5.

Chromebooks Defined

A Chromebook is a laptop that runs Google Operating System (OS).
