Model: The HP Chromebook 11 G5 X0P00EA is the laptop that lets the user work with files in the cloud. A Chromebook has the Chrome OS operating system. Chrome OS does not support offline Windows programs. However, Chromebooks offer other advantages over Windows laptops in the same price category. This model is one of the cheapest Chromebooks on the market. It is surprisingly good at multitasking. The big advantage of working in the cloud is that users do not need a large hard disk anymore. The Chromebook requires only 32 GB of flash memory onboard and the laptop boots within 15 seconds. As long as the user is logged into Google, user have their files and data at their fingertips. Google's and HP's smart bet with the HP Chromebook 11 was to make the whole product seem much more like a laptop-tablet than a cheap laptop. From its Micro-USB port to its clean color-accented plastic, it feels like the smaller cousin to the Pixel, part of a new Chromebook family. It even has the same four-color rainbow bar on the back lid, a small "Chrome" touch. The Chromebook 11 is a clean device, with looks that fall somewhere between any MacBook and kid-friendly PC. The Chromebook 11 does not have any visible speakers or vents, and only a few ports, which is an intentional move, giving this product a seamless, smooth appearance. The laptop feels very plastic, but it is also very light. Google says there is a magnesium frame underneath, but it is hard to tell. It feels sturdy enough but still resembles a budget product. It seems kid-friendly and somewhat able to withstand a knock-around.
As for hardware specifications, the HP Chromebook 11 G5 X0P00EA has an Intel Celeron N3060 processor, an Intel HD Graphics 400 (Braswell) graphics card, 4 GB of RAM and a 32 GB eMMC flash memory. Inside the box, there is a Micro-USB charger that is pretty compact, and can also charge tablets, phones, or other devices with micro USB charging port. Google also includes a two-year, 100 GB Google Drive storage upgrade, a 60-day Google Music All Access trial, and 12 vouchers for GoGo in-flight Wi-Fi, which get redeemed via the Chromebook itself. There is nothing surprising about a display with a resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels and an aspect ratio of 16:9. This matte display does not have touch. Despite being an 11-inch device, the wide, comfortable keyboard ranks among the best on a smaller laptop. No, it is not backlit, but the writing was a breeze, and key placement felt natural. The wide clickable plastic touchpad beneath has its heart in the right place. Speakers are hidden under the keyboard; the goal is less muffled sound. Indeed, this Chromebook pumped out some impressive volume, and movies actually sounded decent. Combined with the VGA camera above the display, this might be a good ultraportable for Google Hangouts in loud places.
