About this deal
There are four rubber feet on the bottom of the Chromebook 11 that do a good job of preventing the laptop from scooting around while typing.
The Chromebook 11’s plastic feels cheap in places, and its construction occasionally appears haphazard. The HP Chromebook 11 is a solid choice for students and others interested in purchasing an inexpensive laptop that is proficient at basic computing tasks. Bass tones were richer with music and I didn’t need to turn the volume up as high to escape the far-away listening experience I noticed when I did not tune in with headphones. On a single charge and with intermittent use, I was able to depend on this laptop for a solid 13 hours of streaming and other basic computing tasks over a couple of days.
Google’s vastly improved its offline capabilities, so that everything from Gmail to Docs to a lot of packaged apps work great without an internet connection. This 11-inch Chromebook features a thin profile in a sturdy design with manageable, secure ChromeOS. Developer mode, as always, gives you lower level access to the platform - including the ability to get to a command prompt.
Google and HP read from the same playbook, crafting the Chromebook 11 out of glossy plastic on top of a magnesium alloy frame.Generally, anything I watched or listened to—dialogue and music—sounded stifled or tinny without headphones.
