However, these aren’t the four-figure premium devices you often see advertised – quite the opposite. Many people aren’t looking for the bells and whistles of high-end hardware; a decent display, solid performance and all-day battery life are often all that’s required. Chromebooks regularly tick all these boxes, at a price that consistency undercuts similar-spec Windows 10 or macOS devices.

MORE: Georgetown hasn’t beat anyone — and that’s OK “They’re just a tough group, man,” Brey told reporters following Indiana’s 80-77 win in the Crossroads Classic doubleheader. “They keep coming at your paint. They keep coming at your paint. The guards are driving. The big guys are banging around. I like them.” Archie Miller, in his first season as Indiana’s head coach, is attempting to build a culture in the IU basketball program, and the foundation of that cure is the sort of competitive ferocity that allowed his Dayton Flyers to punch above their weight in recent seasons....

The series has followed the Assassin Brotherhood for 11 mainline titles so far, which makes it a great time for the Templar Order to take the spotlight....
