77% HP Chromebook 15a (2023) Review: Bare minimum internet machine for students and casual surfers

Easy on the wallet, hard on compromise. The HP Chromebook 15a aims to be an affordable entry into the online world for students and those who are looking for a cheap internet access device. Despite its mid-2023 release, the Chromebook 15a makes significant hardware compromises to maintain its sub-₹30,000 (sub-US$350) price point even while notably more capable laptops are increasingly becoming available within this price bracket.
