A recent ad was leaked onto, and then retrieved from, HP’s website. The PDF told of HP joining in on the Chromebook market. This info came out just one week after Lenovo announced that it would be offering its own version designed for use by students and teachers.
Benefits of Chrome OS
Chromebooks
are currently becoming quite popular with other manufactures like Acer
and Samsung as well. The reason for this popularity is due to the
removal of expensive Microsoft containing Windows and Office
applications, which requires more storage and slows down booting. Chrome
OS is cloud-based operating system that allows users to connect
directly to the web for access to applications and software, freeing up
the hard-drive and requiring less RAM.
Some of the advantages of HP Pavilion’s Chromebook are an 8 second
boot up, the maintenance free ability to cloud compute, the care free OS
of a Linux based system, and the extra roomy screen.
HP Pavilion Chromebook will run Google’s Chrome Linux based operating
system and will also come with a 1.1GHz 847 Intel Celeron processor, an
Intel HD GPU, 2GB of DDR3 SDRAM (expandable up to 4GB), and 16GB of SSD
storage space. It will also feature a 14 inch HD display it with a
resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, which give this a distinct advantage in
screen size and resolution over its competition. The 37WHr lithium-ion
battery will apparently give you up to 4 hours of usage, which, due to
the larger screen size, is less than its competitors. Additionally, the
laptop will feature a multi-format digital card reader, three USB 2.0
ports and an HDMI port. The Pavilion Chromebook also will have an HD
webcam. It is believed to be priced at $329 and will be released on
February 17th.
This announcement may be particularly appealing to you if you are
computer shopping on a budget or if you have heard the negative buzz and
want to avoid Microsoft Windows 8.
