HP’s Chromebook 11 is still just $79 (opens in new tab) over at Walmart’s Black Friday sale (opens in new tab). We’re surprised this is still in stock, because it is the lowest price laptop you will ever find in the Black Friday sales!
Arguably one of the best budget Chromebooks you can buy right now, the HP Chromebook 11 just got a helluva lot cheaper thanks to this humongous saving in
So, let’s answer the obvious question that comes with a super cheap Chromebook like this: who is it actually for? Chances are a lot of you are looking at that spec list and expressing some concern, but ask yourself what you use your laptop for.
If you need something for gaming or processor-heavy tasks, then this is not the one for you. But if your answer to this question is basic productivity and casual entertainment like going down YouTube wormholes, then this is actually good enough for all of that.
It’s why I would confidently call this a great laptop for students, as it’s a top-notch essay jotter with all the connectivity you need to plug this into some speakers for a house party. Not only that, but the 11.6-inch HD display is fine for binge-watching.
Pair that with 32GB of storage and 15GB of Google Drive cloud storage, and you have all you need for creating documents, web browsing, and streaming videos. Plus, Google’s lightweight ChromeOS ensures near-instant startups and snappy performance.
With a weight of 2.4 pounds and measuring 7.6 x 11.2 x 0.7 inches, the HP Chromebook 11 is super portable. It’s thinner and lighter than the Lenovo Chromebook C330 (0.8 inches thick, 2.8 pounds) and nearly on par with the Samsung Chromebook 4 0.7 inches thick, 2.6 pounds).
For connecting peripherals, the Chromebook 11 supplies you with a USB 2.0 Type-C port (Power Delivery, DisplayPort 1.1), a USB 2.0 Type-A port, and a headphone/microphone combo jack. There’s also a microSD slot on board for storing and transferring files.
Simply put, the HP Chromebook 11 is an affordable option if you want a small, basic laptop for casual use.
