Google announces HP Chromebook 11 for $279
A few days ago,
a leak tipped us off to an unannounced HP Chromebook 11, and today Google made
that piece of hardware official. Priced at $279, this 11-incher is available today, and we've already had a chance to get our hands on the
unit -- in several of its punchy color options, to boot.
The laptop is sleek and attractive, especially considering
the ultra-accessible price. At 2.3 pounds (1.04kg), the machine feels
ridiculously light in the hand, though the magnesium frame also lends some
sturdiness. HP's notebook, we must say, really reminds us of Apple's white
MacBook from several years back thanks to the softly rounded edges and the
white glossy finish,
The design is completely screw-free, leaving the lid and back
bare. Incidentally, the machine is also void of vents or fans -- with the
Sasmung Exynos 5250 processor under the hood, hopefully things won't get too
toasty. That processing unit is accompanied by 2GB of RAM, and a 16GB SSD is
the sole storage option. As for WiFi, we're looking at dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n
(with Bluetooth 4.0) though a rep said a 4G option will be available as well.
