The screen with 768p resolution is the weakest screen of the three Chromebooks. It's smaller than laptops' 1080p screens but should be adequate. Don't be discouraged if have invested in technology over the years. Each of the three Chromebooks has at least one USB C port, as well as one with DisplayPort over USBC.
