Take a seat
Whether you’re working from home or outfitting a space for gaming, your comfort is dependent on finding the best chair. At Staples, we provide a broad range of office chairs and seating, so you can find the right fit for you. Select from multifunctional task chairs, computer & desk chairs, drafting stools and more. If you will be using your new chair for multiple hours a day, make sure to get an ergonomic office chair to prevent unnecessary strain.
Comfort, all day long
Office furniture that is the proper size and height makes a big difference. When shopping for chairs, the height of the seat should be adjustable so that the user’s feet can sit flat on the floor with their knees at right angles. Likewise, the accompanying office desk should be at a height where the users’ elbows can sit comfortably at right angles at their sides while typing or writing. Browse our selection to find the combination that’s right for you. If size if a concern, check out our big & tall chairs which can support up to 500lbs.

Show seasonal allergies who’s boss
If you suffer from seasonal allergies, now is when they are at their worst. Stock up on allergy season’s most important products to keep your home, classroom, and office allergen-free. Start with an air purifier to strip the air of allergens like pollen and pet dander and replace existing air filters for improved air quality. Frequently dust, wipe down hard surfaces, and vacuum carpets and furniture to help eliminate pollen tracked in from outside and dander left behind by pets. When leaving the house, check the pollen count and bring a face mask to help filter the air you breath outside.
No matter what you do, it’s unlikely that the symptoms of seasonal allergies can be avoided entirely. Make sure to have over-the-counter cold and allergy medications on hand to battle symptoms, and stock up on facial tissues so you’ll always have one available when you need them.
Spring (Cleaning) is in the air
Spring cleaning and decluttering is a tradition meant to refresh our spaces for the year ahead. Staples has everything you need to clear out the clutter, store and organize your belongings, and all the right cleaning supplies.
Clear out the clutter
Start by preparing a checklist and make sure you have all the necessary supplies. Use storage bins and a label maker to make sorting and organizing easier. Prepare extra boxes for donations and trash bags for the things you no longer need. Look for decorative boxes & baskets that will compliment your home’s décor and use them to organize. You can also use closet organizers and storage drawers anywhere they are needed.
Start with the basics
An all-purpose cleaner, cleaning brush and microfiber cloths will clean most surfaces. Use a duster to remove unwanted dirt and furniture polish to revitalize wood surfaces. Upgrade your broom, dustpan, wet mop, and vacuum to make cleaning any type of flooring a breeze.
The nitty gritty
Spring cleaning doesn’t stop there. There’s so much you can do to reset your home:
- Improve air quality and eliminate pollen and pet dander with a new air purifier and an air freshener with a scent you love.
- On a sunny day, take the opportunity to clean your windows – you’ll need glass cleaner, a bucket, a squeegee, and paper towels.
- Have a step stool or ladder on hand to access hard-to-reach places like the tops of cabinets and overhead lighting.
- Replace broken light bulbs and check the batteries in your smoke detectors.
- Use drain cleaner to clear up sink and bathtub drains.
Up your printing game with a Supertank Printer
Looking for a printer with more print capacity that’s better for the environment and your wallet? Shop Staples selection of Supertank Printers for all the benefits of an inkjet printer with the convenience and savings of replacement ink bottles that last longer and cost less per page than standard inkjet printer cartridges.

Eric Zeman / Android Authority
Chromebooks have become very capable, and to some, they may even be able to replace full-blown Windows or macOS laptops. These efficient machines also fill a niche somewhere between computers and mobile devices, though. There are even touchscreen Chromebooks around, and today we’re taking a look at the best ones.
As always, options vary in price and functionality. We’ve done our best to track down the best of the best to help you make a purchase. Ready to upgrade? Let’s dig in.
The best touchscreen Chromebooks:
- Acer Chromebook Spin 714
- Google Pixelbook Go
- Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2
- ASUS Chromebook CX34 Flip
- Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook
- Samsung Galaxy Chrome 2 360
Editor’s note: This list of the best touchscreen Chromebooks will be regularly updated as new devices launch and others are phased out.
Acer Chromebook Spin 714
Eric Zeman / Android Authority
Chromebooks are known for being affordable, but that’s not always the case. Some of the best touchscreen Chromebooks can cost a good penny, and the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 is one of those. This is a premium Chromebook through and through.
The Spin 714 is made with an aluminum chassis and is very sturdy, sporting a MIL-STD-810H certification. It also comes with rather capable specs, such as an Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. You can also find a cheaper version with an Intel Core i5 chip. And while still not widely available in the USA, there are other versions with 16GB of RAM and as much as 512GB of storage.
The touchscreen is really nice, offering a 2,560 by 1,600 resolution. The cheaper version sticks to 1,920 x 1,200. And you can use it as a tablet, thanks to its flip design. Other premium characteristics include a backlit keyboard, about 10 hours of battery life, and a price point that goes along with such a pleasant experience.

Google Pixelbook Go
Eric Zeman / Android Authority
While Google’s own Chromebooks have been known to sport high price points, the Pixelbook Go starts at $649.99. It’s not exactly affordable, but this price is better than what you would usually pay for the OG Pixelbook. It retains a great build quality, and powerful specs and can be upgraded substantially. The most expensive version with upgraded Intel hardware costs around $1,400.
This offers versatility in price and a wide set of options, making this one of the best touchscreen Chromebooks you can find. So who is the Pixelbook Go for? If you’re looking for a well-rounded clamshell with plenty of power, this is a great option.

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2
Eric Zeman / Android Authority
The original Samsung Galaxy Chromebook was both powerful and very well-designed, but it was a bit too pricey. The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 keeps an awesome aluminum body, quality keyboard, and gorgeous screen, all while making some cutbacks on specs, and therefore reducing the price to something much more reasonable.
If you care about looks and want a premium experience, this is definitely one of the best touchscreen Chromebooks to be found. Those still wanting higher-end specs can also get the original Samsung Galaxy Chromebook. They are nearly identical looking, anyways.

ASUS Chromebook CX34 Flip
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority
If you want a premium Chromebook, beating something like the ASUS Chromebook CX34 Flip will be tough. This is a gaming Chromebook, which means it comes equipped with everything that makes gaming good.
The unit comes with an awesome 1,920 x 1,200 resolution screen, which also offers a 144Hz refresh rate and 100% sRGB color reproduction. Ram tops off at 16GB, and you can have as much as 512GB of storage. It also happens to be beautifully designed, and while it has slight gaming aesthetics, it won’t look out of place anywhere, thanks to its primarily white design. And it’s MIL-STD-810H-compliant, in case you’re worried about damaging it. There’s even a stylus and a storage slot to keep it safe.
Of course, it has some downsides. Battery life isn’t the best, it’s big and heavy, and we can argue its gaming prowess isn’t really quite there. That said, it is still a great overall machine, and one of the best touchscreen Chromebooks. Just be ready to pay a pretty penny for it.

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook
Eric Zeman / Android Authority
You get a larger and better display now, going from a 10.1-inch LCD to a 13.3-inch OLED. It was a little pricey at launch, but with about $50 off usually on the $430 MSRP nowadays, it’s great value for money.
It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 SoC. You can get it with 4GB of RAM with 64GB of storage, or 8GB of RAM with 128GB of storage. The build quality feels very solid, and the design is elegant and practical. Lenovo has put in a 42Wh battery in there, and it delivers about 11-12 hours of battery life. You also get an update promise of eight years of Chrome OS updates.

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 360
If you’re looking for the best touchscreen Chromebooks but don’t want to spend too much money on one, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 260 might be your best bet as a budget Chromebook. It still manages to look great, has a sturdy MIL-STD-810H construction, and its 12.4-inch touchscreen has an outstanding 2,560 x 1,600 resolution.
Other specs are pretty modest, including an Intel Celeron processor and 4GB of RAM. Battery life is estimated at 10 hours, though, and you get Wi-Fi 6 capabilities.
It isn’t exactly the cheapest at a $429.99 MSRP, but we believe it’s the best-designed Chromebook at a lower price point. Competitors don’t really get close to it.

FAQs
Many Chromebooks have touchscreens, and most recent ones feature one, but this is not a standard. Plenty of manufacturers still make traditional Chromebooks with no touchscreen capabilities.
Chrome OS isn’t made to be used as a mobile device, but you can certainly use a Chromebook as a tablet if you adjust your expectations. There are some Chromebooks with removable keyboards, as well as 2-in-1 convertibles. And since Chrome OS has Android support, you can kind of replace an Android tablet with one.
Yes! At least the modern ones do. Multi-touch support is now standard in modern technology.
