HP has announced an Athlon or Ryzen-based model to complement their Intel-based HP Pro C640 which released earlier in August. The new AMD Athlon C and Ryzen C options combine with up to 16 GB RAM and a 128 GB NVMe drive to create an impressive Chromebook.

HP is expanding their offering of cloud-orientated enterprise devices with the HP Pro C645 Enterprise Chromebook. The C645 compliments the C640, with the one real difference sitting at its core — the Ryzen C and Athlon C processors. These C-series CPUs are directly comparable to the already existing U-series, with the ‘C’ designation identifying that these are for installing in Chromebooks.

Regarding business use, the strong multicore performance from Ryzen will be beneficial in a typical daily workload. AMD is also promoting Ryzen C as having the most powerful GPU in a Chromebook, but the uses here are more limited in a business context.

I grew up in a family surrounded by technology, starting with my father loading up games for me on a Commodore 64, and later on a 486. In the late 90's and early 00's I started learning how to tinker with Windows, while also playing around with Linux distributions, both of which gave me an interest for learning how to make software do what you want it to do, and modifying settings that aren't normally user accessible. After this I started building my own computers, and tearing laptops apart, which gave me an insight into hardware and how it works in a complete system. Now keeping up with the latest in hardware and software news is a passion of mine.
