When you sit down and think about how you use your laptop, you'd probably be surprised at how little you use actual applications and how reliant you are on the internet and online services. The question is, do you really need a full-on Windows or Mac lapt...

The HP Chromebook 11 - see full review - is a thing of beauty, if you like acres of glossy white plastic. Details such as the light-up strip of Google colours and the blue accents are nice touches, but it also comes in black if you prefer. Look around t...

If Apple can sell the idea of a plastic iPhone as a good thing, then HP must be on-trend with its new 11in Chromebook. There are acres of glossy white plastic, including when you open the lid. The lid is featureless save for the thin strip of lit-up Goog...

The Chromebook 11 looks great, is small and light and has the best screen we've seen on a Chrome OS device. However, build quality isn't quite up to scratch and – more importantly – neither is performance. With several other rival Chromebooks about to be...

The Google Chromebook is an interesting experience and proposition. For your money you get a browser-based operating system that is easy to use, but limited by the fact that you need to be online to really be able to use it to its full potential. Despite...

The Chromebook remains a strange kettle of fish. Whether you'll warm to it mostly relies on whether or not you think Chrome OS is a good or bad idea. Clearly to make the most of the operating system you have to be online, although you can now use Ch...

If you've been on the fence about trying out Google's Chrome OS, the HP Chromebook 11 might be just what you need to encourage you to take the plunge. The slim design and refined looks are augmented by some generous freebies – like free Google Drive stora...

The HP Chromebook 11 isn't perfect, with all of the limitations of any other Chrome OS device (though those limitations are likely fewer than you might imagine). This inexpensive laptop does, however, manage to bring some new and improved elements to the...

The HP-built Chromebook 11 is an integral part of Google's latest push to increase the market share of its cloud-based Chrome OS operating system. This has seen Google take the same strategy it did when pushing its Android mobile OS, partnering with a var...

The HP Chromebook 11 is a solidly built, affordable Windows laptop replacement for businesses embedded in Google's ecosystem. But with a wave of cheaper Intel Haswell-powered Chromebooks on the horizon, its long-term appeal is slightly tarnished...

We're getting a chance to take a look at HP's Chromebook 11: a lightweight and portable notebook that features Google's browser-based Chrome OS, and SlimPort technology. The Chromebook 11 makes use of an ARM processor, which should provide long battery l...

So, at the end of this review, I'm left with mixed feelings. Yes, the Chromebook 11 has beautiful styling (most definitely stolen from the mid-2000s MacBook). However, performance-wise, I'm left wanting. It's nice that the system is completely fanless an...

Google and HP have joined forces to create an officially designated Chromebook. Is this a great way to take your world online for under $500? Google is teaming up with quite a few companies lately to build what it sees as the best examples of its dev...

No USB 3.0; Insanely reflective screen; Body is a fingerprint magnet; No microSD or SD card slot; MicroUSB charge requires more power to charge from than your traditional phone charger, and if you use a lower power charger, it takes a while for it to charge;...

HP's first effort at the Chromebook is a decent one, but it comes with a few niggles that bother even us, most notably its lack of expansion on offer.Google's Chrome OS has been built around the idea of web-based computing, though, so at least there's a m...

Thankfully, HP's take (with a lot of collaboration from Google itself) on the Chromebook is the best yet. While it uses the white plastic beloved of old MacBooks, a blue accent around the keyboard makes it look lovely in a kind of ultraclean 80s-tech way...

The deeper we delve into Chromebooks, the more it becomes apparent how limited they are – but this, maybe, is the point. They're designed for light users who don't like to get into the nitty-gritty of things, and just want to browse the web and submit in...

The HP Chromebook 11 enters an increasingly crowded market, where there are (at least in Australia) a good number of choices in Chromebooks around the $300-$400 mark. Already we've seen the Samsung Chromebook, Acer C7, Acer C720 and glimmers of an HP Chro...

The HP Chromebook 11 is a curious little device.Unlike the Chromebooks that have come before it, this one looks like a laptop you'd actually like to have on your desk. It doesn't look like every other laptop; it's bright, it's white, and rounded edges mak...

For the asking price of $399 (and even with a lower street price of $349), the HP Chromebook 11 isn't as enticing an option as it should be, and it could stand to lose at least another $50 off the street price to make it a more serious alternative for tho...

Google's Chromebook line is often maligned as inexpensive but underpowered or, in the case of the Pixel, a really nice screen in front of limited functionality and an exorbitant price tag. But by pairing a solid build with a $399 price tag, HP seems to ha...

If you've been contemplating getting a Chromebook but don't have $US1200 for a Pixel, the HP CB11 is a solid low-end option. It's also a nice option for folks who like the idea of a tablet but can't bare the thought of a keyboardless second screen.HP Chro...
