About HP 11.6 Chromebook

If a tablet isn't quite enough for you but many laptops are too much, this might be your PC. It runs the Chrome operating system (and Chrome web browser) and includes a 16GB solid-state (like an SSD) hard drive that means it starts in seconds. No worries about buying security software or applying updates. It has virus protection built-in and runs your favorite Google apps and has a 74-key keyboard. Has a built-in webcam and dual band Wi-Fi.

It's the right choice for web surfing, email and other light-duty tasks, but not much more. If that's the majority of your usage, it's 2.6 lbs. weight, 0.7 inches thinness and up to 11 hours of battery life may be just what you're looking for. Travel and cyber cafes are another good use for this. Some users didn't like that you can't change the web browser, but if you're in the Chrome camp already, it's a good choice.
