What's Important in a Chrombook
Since Chromebooks greatly rely on online programs, wifi speed is one of the most important components of a Chromebook. 802.11ac wifi is 3 times faster and has a greater than any other form of wifi. It's also better in areas where a lot of people are using the wifi such as schools and libraries.
Battery life is very important as Chromebooks are so mobile that they are not always plugged in. The charge time is from the manufacturer. You rarely get that much battery life it is a good figure to use to compare Chromebooks.
This icon indicates that an accident protection plan is offered by Asurion. If you have accident protection on your cell phone, it's likely covered through Asurion. Please check the individual policy to see what it covers.
Square Trade accident protection is another accident protection plan option. Square Trade and Asurion don't protect against exactly the same damage so make sure check the individual policies to see what you want covered.

A quick note on wifi speeds for some of the products above:
ASUS Chromebook C213SA: This Chromebook is listed as having 802.11 ac in every location on Amazon and the company's own website except it does mention the slower 802.11 a/b/g/n in one sentence. It is extremely likely to have 802.11 ac wifi but we felt we should make a note of it here.
2017 HP 14’’ Premium Chromebook HD SVA: There are two locations that we found on Amazon's website where it mentions "802.11 a." Since no one has built a computer with just "802.11 a" for a long time, we are pretty sure that it's just a typo. It is extremely likely to have 802.11 ac wifi but we we do our best to pass on as much information as we can.
