Product Information

You obviously don’t get a ton of local storage, but as with all Chromebooks you’re expected to either not have a ton of local storage needs, rely on external USB storage, or toss everything into the cloud.

These models are much more robust and have more memory, faster processors, and bigger and higher-resolution screens. My experience on this laptop, as you could have guessed from the Geekbench experience, is that not all Android apps run properly.While it’s a student-oriented Chromebook, many of the distinguishing traits—rugged design, long battery life, and a streamlined operating system that offers well-rounded basic computing performance—make it an appealing home computer option for yourself or the family. And without more power and better performance, it’s really hard to recommend to anyone as their primary laptop. The HP Chromebook 11 makes a solid case for those who are curious about opting for a Chromebook over a MacBook Pro or Windows laptop without making a huge investment.

Systems may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware, drivers and/or software to take full advantage of Windows functionality. I used the CrXPRT benchmarking tool by Principled Technologies to test this Chromebook’s overall performance. Chrome OS is the type of platform you can recommend to someone and never have to worry about them coming back to you with a virus or malware infested PC. I guess Google is trying to reduce the number of sockets in the case for aesthetic reasons while maintaining the same functionality. As an entry-level "education" based Chromebook, you should keep your expectations in check on this one.I'm glad of the competition, but I don't see why WinRT's lack of legacy app support is a deal breaker that pushes you to another platform.

With the remaining 5-percent, and my rudimentary math skills, the HP Chromebook 11 likely shut down around 10 hours of testing; give or take a few minutes.

The Samsung's keyboard lacks bite, the screen is dreadfully washed out, and the whole chassis creaks if you pick it up by one edge. Enhance visual connections during collaboration and group discussions with an optional IPS panel for a wide viewing angle. Tilting the screen almost completely flat, thanks to the HP Chromebook’s 180-degree hinge, was handy when I wanted to improve visibility in a bright, sunlit room or while sitting outdoors.With the exception of the Chromebook Pixel, Google has done a great job of curating excellent low-cost hardware that runs Chrome OS.

Both colors pick up and prominently display fingerprints, and the body tends to flex and creak if you pick it up in not quite the right place; the lid in particular flexes violently and terrifyingly every time you touch it. You won’t have to worry about the occasional slip or spill around this machine and the stellar battery life will allow you to leave the charger at home and travel with one less piece of equipment in your bag. When pushing on the top-half of the touchpad, you have to press really hard to get it to register, and in turn, you bend the plastic housing around the pad and the keyboard.
