HP announces 14-inch Pavilion 14 Chromebook, largest Chromebook yet

hp-chromebook01Check out our review of the HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook laptop review.

Previous reports about HP coming up with its own Chromebook have proven correct now that the company has finally revealed the Pavilion 14 Chromebook. HP is the latest in a series of companies, including Samsung, Acer, and Lenovo, that are manufacturing hardware that supports Google’s Chrome OS. 

The Pavilion 14 comes with typical Chromebook specs. It runs on a 1.1GHz Intel Celeron processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 16GB solid-state drive. Unlike the other Chromebooks, though, it has a 14-inch 1,366 x 768 pixel screen instead of the usual 11- or 12-inch display, so it also weighs considerably more at 4 pounds. It also has a relatively generous number of ports comprised of three USB 2.0, an Ethernet port, and an SD card slot. HP touts it as a device that “gives you fast and easy access to the things you love and depend on, from a world of Google apps and services to your photos and social networks.”

The downside is its price. At $330, the Pavilion 14 costs a lot more than other Chromebooks on the market – much more than the Samsung Series 3 priced at $250, or the Intel-version of Acer’s C7 that costs only $199. Also, it has a rated battery life of 4 hours and 15 minutes, which can’t compare to the more than 7 hours we squeezed out of the Samsung Series 3 Chromebook when we tested it for review

When you think of HP, you may think of some of the world's best printers, but you're considerably less likely to think of something that gives you a high-quality gaming and entertainment experience. Yet, with lines like HP's Omen gaming laptops, that simply isn't true. If you've always been impressed by an HP printer's solid, sturdy chassis but want a quality gaming experience driven by an RTX 4080, here's your chance to do so at a discount. The Omen Laptop 17t-cm200 is $600 off while this Memorial Day gaming laptop deal lasts. That brings the laptop down to $2,000 from $2,600, not a bad price at all for an RTX-holding laptop with a good presentation. Check out the laptop over at HP by tapping the button below or keep reading for all the details.

Why you should buy the HP Omen Laptop 17t-cm200
If you know how to buy a gaming laptop, the core stats of the HP Omen Laptop 17t-cm200 alone are probably enough to seal the deal. By default, it has an Intel Core i9 processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. All of these are customizable, however, and you can even upgrade to make this a 4090 laptop for about as much as you're saving on the deal. Combine all this with the base 17.3-inch 2560 x 1440p anti-glare, low blue light screen and you have an incredible beginning for a quality laptop.
