Our Verdict
Samsung Chromebook 4 (2019)
Thomson NEO 10 (2020)
The Samsung Chromebook 4 (2019) and the Thomson NEO 10 (2020) are both ultraportables with power-efficient CPUs, but the Samsung is a much better laptop for all practical uses. The Samsung feels significantly more responsive thanks to its use of Chrome OS, and it has a far superior battery life. Also, its screen displays more accurate colors, it has a significantly better keyboard and touchpad, and its webcam, microphone, and speakers perform significantly better. On the other hand, the Thomson uses Windows 10, which might be necessary for some people.
