HP adds a colorful new 14-inch Chromebook!

I've till now reviewed, just a few Chromebooks or rather just one, The Acer C720 Chromebook, which was slate grey in color (If I didn't messup). But I just saw something pretty exciting on CNET, a Video featuring the New HP Chromebook 14. And the color caught my eyes. What was so exciting? Why don't you'll see it for yourself?



HP is adding to its Chromebook lineup a new 14-inch HP Chromebook 14. This slim laptop stays in the same low-end price range as most other budget Chromebooks and Windows laptops, and adds a handful of higher-end features to make it special

The first thing that caught my eye was the soft colors of the chassis. HP calls this design "Sky Blue," and it combines a soft blue interior and accents with a white lid (the system will also be be available in a silver design).

It features the current-gen Intel Celeron processor, which won't offer any performance surprises(As CNET wrote it!). But what's surprising is the 14-inch display which has a full 1920x1080 resolution, and uses an IPS panel (in-plane switching) to prevent the image from looking faded at side angles. HP says the system will also include some potentially valuable extras, including a two-year 100GB Google Drive account and three Google Play movie rentals.

Chromebooks continue to be known for being the perfect low-cost computer, thanks to an increasing dependence on cloud-based tools, from email to video streaming to collaborative office applications. Built around the Chrome web browser from Google, this and other Chrome OS devices offer easy access and simple interfaces, but also lack the ability to install and run many common Windows and Mac software applications, or even store much data locally.

But, if you are Okay to live within these limitations, Chromebooks are an increasingly attractive way to get online access in a decent-looking hardware package without spending much money.

Reportedly, The HP Chromebook 14 will cost $249 in the US. The US release date, as well as international price and release details, are not available yet, but HP expects this system to ship in time for the upcoming holiday season.


Let's see if I can get my hands-on one!
