HP made a big reveal yesterday by announcing a couple of new Chrome OS PCs, including the Chromebook x2 11 and the Chromebase 21.5-inch All-in-One. Both these PC’s are very much different from each other and are currently the best in their respective sectors.
“The last year and a half drastically shifted consumers to a new hybrid world, putting a focus on how they think about and use their devices, with a change from one PC per household to now one PC per person to work, live, and play. HP collaborated closely with Google to optimize our newest platforms, along with curating a superb and secure software and app ecosystem for the best possible experience on Chrome OS devices. As a result, we’re expanding our Chrome OS portfolio with the introduction of the HP Chromebook x2 11 and the HP Chromebase 21.5 inch All-in-One as users search for devices that help them seek a more personal, or family-friendly experience, in today’s hybrid world.”
First coming to the HP Chromebook x2 11, we have the device sporting an 11-inch 2K screen with a 3:2 aspect ratio. This makes it a pretty good tablet that also comes with Android App support. It also has got pen support with the HP Wireless Rechargeable USI Certified Pen, and of course, it comes with an attachable keyboard.
Perhaps the most amazing thing about the HP Chromebook x2 11 is that the device comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c processor which also offers 4G LTE connectivity to its users. This makes the device the first-ever Chrome OS tablet to offer 4G LTE. The device is available for purchase starting this month and including the pen, it starts at $599.99 from Best Buy. In October, it will be available at HP.com.
Coming up next is the HP Chromebase AiO, which comes with a rotating 21.5-inch screen. By rotating the screen 90 degrees into a portrait orientation, the device can be better for reading and scrolling through long web pages.
The device is also powered by an Intel Core processor and has up to 256GB of storage, and up to 16GB RAM. It also comes with dual 5W B&O speakers offering powerful audio. There’s also a 5MP camera with dynamic adjustment for better lighting and such.
The HP Chromebase AiO is coming in August from retailers like Amazon and Best Buy, starting at $599.99.
