Dell Chromebook series guide

Where the Dell Chromebook line stands in 2026

This is a sparse legacy bucket: 7 Dell Chromebook models in our catalog, all carrying 2015-vintage framing in the data, with only two rows priced and five listing no price or year at all. The priced pair could not differ more — a Chromebook 7310 at $151 and a Chromebook 3100 2-in-1 at $2,003 — and the second number stands far apart from everything this family is. With 4 GB RAM ceilings, Celeron-class chips and 11.6/13.3-inch screens, this roster is an inventory of an era, not a shopping list.

The configuration spread

What the data records: Celeron chips dominate (7 configurations) with single Core i3 and Core i5 appearances, graphics are all integrated Intel HD/UHD-class, and every machine is built light — 1.27 to 1.61 kg across the family. The named rows run from the Chromebook 11 and 13 (3380) through the 3100/3120 education models to the Inspiron Chromebook 11 3181; the 7310 is the only row with a full 2015 date and a price. RAM tops out at 4 GB everywhere in this bucket — the ceiling alone dates the hardware.

Price versus age

With one dated price ($151 for the 2015 Chromebook 7310) and one outlier ($2,003 for an undated Celeron-class 3100 2-in-1), there is no ladder to read. The honest summary is that the market for these machines clusters in the sub-$200 range the 7310's listing illustrates, and the four-figure ask is a single standing outlier. Five of the seven rows carry no price at all in our catalog — itself a signal that this hardware trades rarely.

Which one to buy

Within this roster, the only row we would point at is the Chromebook 7310 (2015, $151, Celeron 3205U + Intel HD Graphics, 13.3-inch) — and only for the narrow case of a disposable, light, web-only machine where $151 is the entire budget. The 3100-class education models (Celeron N4000/N2840, 4 GB RAM) could serve the same role if found at similar money, but our data carries no price for them. The 3100 2-in-1 at $2,003 we would pass on without hesitation — that ask buys modern hardware several classes above this family anywhere else. For anything beyond casual web use, the 4 GB RAM ceiling is a hard stop.

Bottom line

Across the roster the numbers are candid about what this is: performance index 1.55, USComp Score 7, best CPU median 15.4, best GPU median 1.55, and zero games clearing recommended settings at the median configuration — with the caveat that most rows carry little data. Portability 91 and mobility 97 are the family's one genuine strength; energy efficiency 43.4 and reliability 10.5 are not. The summary: a browsing-only tier at disposable prices — the $151 row is a fair example of the class, everything else here is data-archaeology, and no row justifies a serious budget.
