HP's latest offering is one of the best Chromebooks we've seen, combining a great design, a comfortable keyboard and reliable performance for $279.
Sleek, lightweight design ; Comfortable keyboard ; Convenient micro-USB charging
Sticky trackpad ; Chrome OS still offers limited functionality
Writing the pros and cons for a Chromebook review is a tricky task. Aside from the flaky touchpad, the biggest disadvantages -- only 16GB of SSD storage, an operating system largely limited to Google's own ecosystem -- are part of what makes a...

The "new" Chromebook is available in two new colors, and offers optional 3G connectivity. And there's a new Chromebox desktop, too.

The HP Chromebook 11 (Verizon LTE) builds upon a slim and stylish design with a mobile internet connection that frees the Chromebook from the limitations of Wi-Fi.

The latest $279 Chromebook is the most attractive yet, but it's best reserved for heavy Web users who crave keyboards.
The ; has a sharp design, comfortable keyboard, bright IPS display, and loud speakers; it also works with Chromecast for living-room media sharing.
Nothing much new under the hood: only 16GB of storage, no SD card slot, and it drops the regular HDMI port that the otherwise similar $250 Samsung Chromebook had. No touch screen. Chromebook still not great as offline-ready device.
A fresh look and comfortable feel make HP’s 11-inch budget Chromebook an appealing bet, especially for households that need a cheap no-frills Web-surfing Google Netbook. If you’re not thinking about productivity, though, you’re better off with a tablet.

It's white! It comes with cute color accents! ...How the heck do you clean this thing? The latest and most colorful Chromebook, jointly launched by Google and HP, puts a fetching face on a model that's otherwise similar to other low-priced Chromebooks...
Beautiful design ; Lightweight and compact
Letterbox-scaled display feels cramped ; Touchpad's two-finger scrolling is balky ; Battery lasted just four hours in our tests

I'm never offline anymore. I have Wi-Fi at home and at the office, nearly every hotel or coffee shop on the planet offers connectivity, and for the rare in-between times, my phone serves as a...
It's so cheap! ; Solid keyboard ; Chrome OS is impossibly easy to use
Stuttery performance ; Build materials can feel cheap ; Problematic touchpad
For the price, you can't expect much more – but I want to

Comfortable keyboard; Solid audio quality ; Subpar battery life; Dim, washed-out screen ; The HP Chromebook 11 G4 delivers a solid keyboard and good sound for a low price, but other systems have longer battery life.

We're in the midst of a netbook renaissance. Armed with lighter weight OSes, faster hardware and a better appreciation for what matters in a consumer device, OEMs are giving the concept another try.
If you’re looking for the Chromebook 11 to last you for 5 years, I’d be very concerned about you running out of CPU power well before then. For lighter use you’ll be fine, but with things like the
