The Dell Chromebook 13-3380 is a durable laptop designed mainly for classroom use. It runs on Google’s ChromeOS, which makes it easy to start up quickly and use web-based tools like Google Docs, Drive, and Classroom. The laptop has a sturdy plastic case, reinforced hinges, and a spill-resistant keyboard to handle the everyday wear and tear. Most versions include an Intel Celeron or Core i3/i5 processor, eMMC flash storage, and a 13.3-inch HD or Full HD screen. Its battery is built to last through a typical school day on a single charge.

Dell introduced the Chromebook 13-3380 in February 2017 as the follow-up to the Chromebook 13 (7310). This model focused more on durability and battery life than looks or portability. When it was released, prices ranged from about $299 to $549, depending on the hardware setup. It was mainly distributed to schools across the U.S., but some units were also sold internationally.

Over the years, the 13-3380 developed a reputation for being dependable and simple to maintain. Some users noticed recurring issues like unresponsive keys, muffled speakers, or batteries that lost capacity over time, but these were minor and didn’t lead to any major recalls. Dell later replaced the 13-3380 with newer versions such as the Chromebook 3100 and 3110, which added USB-C charging and faster processors. Even so, many schools continue to use the 13-3380 because of its reliability and ease of repair.

The device features a 13.3-inch display, black plastic chassis, and the Dell logo centered on the lid. The Chromebook logo appears in the top-left corner of the lid, distinguishing it from similar Dell models.
