| HP Chromebook 11a |
So the human race is gradually pulling off its collective onesies done in more socially acceptable attire and returning to work on venturin out on trips again which means a lot of people are looking for a flexible computing solution that can keep them connected at home in the office wherever they choose to roam and one of the best options for anyone who practically lives online is a Chromebook like this we fella here the hp Chromebook 11a and a nut chub over one kilo it's impressively light while the compact design means it'll slip into pretty much any bag gun even a good sized handbag yet the performance which comes courtesy of the MediaTek mt-8183 chipset can handle any chrome os app out there while the battery life is proper good and best of all this Chromebook is super affordable as well it cost you just 150 quid here in blighty from the likes of curry's pc world so here's a run through some of the best features of the hp Chromebook 11a
Now while Chromebook do tend to be on the dinky side hp's effort is one of the teeniest that I’ve personally tested that plastic frame seems to be durable thankfully so it easily survives plenty of life on the road just toss it in a backpack with your tinnies and your ham sarnies and off you go running the show is MediaTek’s very own mt 8183 chipset backed by four gigs of ddr4 ram and that can handle absolutely everything you chuck at it no worries the hp Chromebook 11a boots up in just a couple of seconds not even enough time to take a gulp of your tea or whiskey or whatever it is you like to drink with breakfast we don't judge here you can run several apps at one time for instance stream and music while you browse the web work in google docs and also keep tabs on your inbox and if you do decide that work is a bit boring and pointless and you can't really be doing with it at all then good news a respectable selection of games can be downloaded from the player store which run like a dream here on the Chromebook 11a you can download plenty as well with the 32 gigs of built-in storage and that can even be expanded in a jiffy using a bit micro Sd action and another benefit of that energy efficient MediaTek platform is the ridiculously good battery life you'll see out of this thing helped along of course by the light chrome os software just a single charge of the Chromebook 11a's battery usually provides over 10 hours of full-on playtime and yeah that's full-on mixed-use including lots of music or podcast streaming in the background while you're working and a good bit of Netflix streaming as well in your downtime the chrome book’s 11.6 inch ips screen spots a 1366 by 768 hd resolution
It's not full hd but the compact size does mean that the visuals are still sharp enough for whatever you need that panel gets bright enough so you can easily see what's going on when you're kicking around outdoors with an anti-glare curtain put in the boot to pesky reflections you've got a single type-c usb port here on the right edge of the Chromebook 11 ear that can be used to power it up but it also supports DisplayPort connections so for instance you can hook up an external monitor a projector something like that if you need to and hp has also somehow found space on this weeny wonder for an actual full sized usb port as for audio
The hp Chromebook 11a serves up a stereo speaker arrangement that can pump out some very loud sound indeed although yeah the quality isn't exactly what you would call good there are some serious distortions on those higher volumes so if you want to actually enjoy your music film whatever you're trying to kick back and relax with i would highly recommend plugging in a pair of headphones thankfully you do get a headphone jack here on the right edge and you've also got some very dependable Bluetooth connectivity the hp Chromebook 11a has a 720p hd camera housed over that display plus dual mics built into the tiny frame for everyone's favorite covered pastime video chats and they certainly do the job for your zoomy skype Microsoft teeny shenanigans although as always i would suggest connecting a headset to get the most out of it
I am also a fan of compact keyboard which makes the most of that really limited space you don't have any backlighting sadly which makes working at night tricky but the chiclet keys are well separated and comfortable to type on for hours at a stretch you have the usual row of chrome ware shortcuts up top as well while hp has even managed to make the arrow keys a fairly decent size and yeah that touchpad is comically small but it's actually surprisingly responsive
Although I personally
prefer just poking and swiping the touchscreen and as you might expect given
its close ties to goggle’s android ui chrome os does work wonderfully with a
touch display so it is a natural fit so that right there in a nutshell is the
hp Chromebook 11a as a great way to stay productive and entertained wherever
you happen to wander with impressive performance and battery life despite the compact
size and please do poke subscribe and

everyone love you
