About this deal

Generally, anything I watched or listened to—dialogue and music—sounded stifled or tinny without headphones. The HP Chromebook 11 earned a 123 on the Performance Test, which measures a Chromebook’s ability to stream video, edit photos, and play games. Otherwise, even slightly beyond a centered viewing angle, everything on the screen was overtaken by shadow. The Chromebook 11’s lid is empty save for the lit-up stripe of Google colors on the top, and the ultra-minimal look is pretty eye-catching. Using a Chromebook 11 next to a MacBook Air or even a Pixel is like using an Android phone from two years ago: it runs, but it’s lost a step or two.

Just by virtue of its form factor, the Chromebook 11 is better than a tablet for a lot of things, but the specs here don’t add up to anything special. We evaluate Chromebooks based off their design, build quality, battery life, and general ability to be an effective "daily driver" when it comes to web browsing, word processing, and other basic tasks. HP’s smartest move was making the charger a Micro USB port, and including an ultra-powerful USB charger with the Chromebook 11 that works with phones and tablets too. It features Chrome’s standard keyboard layout, which includes dedicated Chrome OS buttons to make using the OS easier.

Sound comes out of the keyboard, providing surprisingly loud and full audio for such a small laptop without needing any unsightly speaker grilles.

And if you’re trying to trade Battlefield 4 and Grand Theft Auto V for Running Fred and Bouncy Mouse, well, I’m sorry. As with most mainstream devices these days, Google used little touches of color to personalize the device. Plus you get all of the benefits of Chrome: sandboxing, security and an always up-to-date/lightweight platform. It comes in black and white, with four accent colors on the white model — red, yellow, blue, or green stripes encircle the keyboard and color the rubber feet on the bottom.Running Chrome OS, the HP 11a-na0502sa Chromebook lets you enjoy a simple computing experience that prioritises Internet and app use – just like a smartphone.

The Chromebook 11’s plastic feels cheap in places, and its construction occasionally appears haphazard. Modern systems have at most only a single mechanical part (the hard drive) and failure rates of the main electrical components (processor, memory and motherboard) are incredibly low. In addition to impressive battery performance, the HP Chromebook 11 consistently took just a little over 90 minutes to recharge. Systems may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware, drivers and/or software to take full advantage of Windows functionality. It works fine, with no deal-breaking issues, but it’s not exactly fluid — scrolling is slow and stuttery on heavy webpages, HD videos often stutter and drop frames and occasionally just stop playing entirely, and even typing can lag behind your fingers.Chromebooks need Haswell processors not for their power, but their longevity — I’m still crossing my fingers that HP’s Chromebook 14 lives up to its promised nine-plus hours of battery life. 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. e. for use wholly or mainly outside of their trade, business, craft or profession and not for commercial gain).
