The holiday season is the time of year when you sit back and reflect on the ups and downs of the previous year and appreciate the friends and loved ones in your life. It's also the time of year when you can think about the new gadget or device that would be perfect for you going into 2014.

Dell Chromebook 11 Offers 10 Hours of Battery Time for Less Than $300

Google has announced the launch of a new Chromebook device, aimed primarily at students — the Dell Chromebook 11.
Besides 10 hours of battery time, the Dell Chromebook 11 boasts an 8.4 second boot time, an Intel Celeron 2955U processor and a 16GB SSD for storage.
The resolution of the 11.6-inch screen is 1366x768 pixels, powered by Intel HD graphics. On the connectivity side, the device offers Wi-Fi, two USB 3.0 ports, Bluetooth 4.0 and an HDMI port.
The Dell Chromebook 11 will be available in two versions: one with 4GB and another with 2GB of memory, but both will be priced under $300, Google claims. The more powerful of the two will become available in January 2014, while the 2GB version is coming sometime in Q1 2014.
