HP unveils new Chromebooks with Intel's 7th gen Celeron chipsets

Ahead of the CES 2018, HP announced two new Chromebooks named Chromebook 11 G6 and Chromebook 14 G5 which are aimed at business and education sector. Both the Chromebooks boast of Intel's 7th gen Celeron chipsets and USB-Type C ports. HP will show off these devices at the CES 2018 which is scheduled to begin from January 9.

As reported by 9to5Google, the Chromebook 14 G5 is basically just a bigger version of the venerable Chromebook 11 G5 that’s been on sale for over a year. It features an Intel Celeron N3350 or N3450 processor, 8GB of memory and 64GB of storage. The specs are in line with, or even a little ahead of, other budget-friendly, entry-level Chromebooks. The processor combined with 8GB of RAM should make for efficient web browsing and for using internet-based apps and Google Drive services, which is normally what this kind of Chromebook is designed to do.

The Chromebook 11 G6 is a more education-focused model, with the same internals as the Chromebook 11 G5 but a small bump to the screen design. The Chromebook 11 G6 has the option to add an HD touchscreen display with a fold-flat hinge. It won’t transform into a full tablet, unlike some other more premium Chromebooks, but the option to fold flat makes it more practical for sketching or drawing graphs when you’re taking notes. It has the same Intel Celeron N3350 or N3450 processor, 8GB of memory and 64GB of storage as the G5.

In terms of display, both the Chromebooks sport  1366x768 pixels resolution. These Chromebook models can run Android apps found in the Google Play Store.
