Product Information

Enhance visual connections during collaboration and group discussions with an optional IPS panel for a wide viewing angle. 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. Some programs don’t run on ARM, so you can’t run Minecraft and other closed-source applications that haven’t been compiled for ARM Linux.

I ran the tests multiple times, reinstalled the app, and did everything I could think of to get it to work — but no luck.

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. 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. According to HP, the battery life of its Chromebook 11 should be around 12 hours and 45 minutes of use. Like last year’s model, it’s not the fastest computer ever, nor the best-designed, nor the most capable. As an entry-level "education" based Chromebook, you should keep your expectations in check on this one.

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.Granted, its display is iffy, it's lacking in storage, and can be a bit slow, but it’s still going to provide a gateway to the internet and all of the knowledge it contains, along with exceptional battery life. A product going end of life does not necessarily mean it is not being sold any longer, and EOL means different things to different manufacturers. While I couldn’t get Geekbench to complete the test, I did monitor it until 5-perecent of the battery was left. Performance and clock frequency will vary depending on application workload and your hardware and software configurations.

The Chrome OS„¢ delivers a low maintenance highly manageable platform with automatic software updates and virus protection built in. HP is a longtime Google Chrome OS partner, cranking out Chromebooks on a regular schedule that run the gamut from surprisingly high-end to budget-oriented education models. If you have an iPhone or Android phone with USB Type-C charging needs, there are two ports that will allow you to keep those devices charged or transfer files. It helps to be a savvy Google/Android user, but anyone can pick up this laptop and find it easy to use for streaming, homework, and web browsing. Finally, the speakers port up through the keyboard just like they would on a MacBook Air (all while providing surprisingly full sound).The only time I can’t get online now is underground on the subway — and even that may not be true for long. hours of battery life give you attractive power and superb all-day portability, perfect to take along and show off wherever you go.
